I’m More Like My Mother Than I’d Like To Admit


My mother was a neat hoarder. She was very fastidious about tidying, but she was a hoarder. She just kept everything neat and tidy (and hidden, most of the time). After she passed, we found she had kept her homework from high school!

I was doing some “Spring” cleaning and found myself throwing out a lot of things I had accumulated/collected over the years that I was never going to use but I’d kept “just in case.” I guess that was something she drummed into me. “You never know when you’ll need it!”

Well, I was never going to use any of it, so they went in the trash. It felt good!

There’s plenty more! But it’s a start … 😩
