I found this post that I had started writing back in November:
I am a HOARDER. It's true. I have such a hard time letting go of things. I think I'll surely need them again one day, or I hate to get rid of it and then wish I hadn't... especially if I can't afford to buy a new one later. So I have a TON of stuff... and everywhere I turn, there is chaos! I think I'm about to hit a breaking point. So I'm getting ready to start purging. Clothes, toys, decor, papers, random random random stuff. I'm not sure where to begin... maybe with the clothes that are 2-3 sizes too small. As much as I'd like to think one day they'll fit again... let's be honest...
Well, it's 6 months later, but I finally did hit that breaking point, and now I'm loving the freedom to let go of so much stuff. Over the weekend, I've passed along some outgrown toys, donated 3 huge bags of clothes, a few boxes of miscellaneous junk, sold two things on craigslist, and we took our 150+ DVDs out of the boxes, put them in a CD binder, and threw the massive pile of boxes in the recycle bin! It's addicting... I'm anxious to do more! And there's more to it than just going on a cleaning-binge... but that post is still to come.
Any other hoarders out there? ;)

I am the opposite of a hoarder. BUT this has its downsides too. Trust me. And they are just as bad. I have thrown away SOOOO many things, both on purpose and by accident that we later needed. Ugh.... :( There has to be a balance between both of our extremes! When you find it, let me know! :)
