I feel like my house is overflowing with crap!

I have so much stuff and I dont know where to put anything. Some I have organized as things I would love to sell on e-bay and things I would like to sell at a garage sale when the weather gets nice, but I feel so cluttered and like I have no place to put anything else and it is driving me crazy! I am getting so angry at DH b/c he doesnt seem to care or understand how much all this $hit bothers me. I had my baby shower a couple of weekends ago and everything is still sitting in my living room in boxes. I dont know what to do with anything.

Thanks for listening to me vent. It must be one of those preggo crazy moments!

Re: I feel like my house is overflowing with crap!

The best advice I can give is donate or toss. After you have sorted your ebay/garage sale stuff out, either donate or toss. I have given away tons of really nice things - beautiful childrens clothes, bags of maternity clothes, toys, knick nacks - some I had previously tried to sell, others I just cant be bothered photographing, describing, packing, sorting...I just donate and it's gone. The tossing part is harder bc its usually sentimental crap that nobody else would want or else I'd sell it or donate it. But when the clutter is gone, there's a sense of relief.

How far along are you? You sound like you are nesting....

I am almost 32 wks. I am just overwhelmed thinking of all the baby stuff that is going to keep piling up on top of the stuff I have. DH thinks I am crazy, but I hate clutter. We moved from a 1 bedroom co-op into a house with a basement and I feel more unorganized and cluttered than I did in our apt.

I felt the same way -- I have just given TONS of stuff to my cleaning lady. She keeps what she wants, gives away or sells what she doesn't. I know a lot of the stuff I *might* be able to sell but honestly I can't be bothered. We had a garage sale 2 years ago and it was more work than it was worth. Everybody wants everything for free no matter how cheap you try to sell it for.

I feel so good giving to someone who I KNOW is in need, and can get good use out of things. Much better than using those clothing drop boxes that always seem to be overflowing!

If your DH doesn't care, that's good - it means you can toss whatever you want!
