Possessions- Part 2-was going great this week until I was presented 7 bags of handy me downs from an unexpected source. Yep, we gave away over 500 pieces of clothing June 16 - 29 and here I was with more clothes. Honestly this was a gift - it was if God was saying- see, I will provide.
What would I do with the clothing? I wanted to shove them in the closet and deal with them in the fall. Instead, I spent a day sorting and bagging. I kept a few things for Henry but most were re-bagged for more first time adoptive moms who do not have a stash of clothing for the fall.
Then I decided to move Igor into his own room and move Merone in with Henry. This allowed me to go through and give away more things from the kids' rooms but I was not focused on "7" per se. I was trying to get my children settled. Then I was busy with life- swim lessons, doctor appointments, contractors, and you know parenting...
We did manage to remove a stereo, DVD player and a space heater from our house but we have more. I need more time so we'll try - Possessions- Part 2- for one more week.

I think you do the best you can and continue to do the best you can in the future and make adjustments as needed. Sometimes things don't go as planned!
