Well, as things have started to settle back down to "normal", I have started to get the stuff out of my house again. I took 4 bags of clothes to two different charities today. One charity supports cancer patients and specializes in upscale clothing and items. I took many of my old work clothes (wool suits, office dresses, etc.) to them. I have not worked outside the home in nearly twenty years, but I was still clinging to the past. Well not any more. They are out of here. Not only will I never be that small a size again, but I have changed from that person. I am no longer the corporate ladder climber that I was before I had my kids. Nor do I want to return to that life.
That is not to say that my college education has done nothing for me. A numbers person is who I am and always will be. I run the family budget and keep everything going around here during the good times and bad. I have used a lot of what I learned from college and running a household to facilitate Financial Peace classes with my husband. I completely consult with my husband on the monthly budget, but since he is in charge of eight budgets at work, one less to worry about is wonderful for him. He knows it is my strength and that I like doing it.
Anyway, I'm not sure where I am going to purge in my house next, but look out charities more is on the way.
