Somehow we have overstuffed every closet, cabinet and drawer, the attic, utility room and inch of garage space of this house. Yesterday I found one of those black and white composition books full of spelling words from first grade and my son is graduating from high school in three months. Accumulation like this feels disappointing and heavy. For me everything has sentimental value which is especially dangerous when you have a large family. Plus, we don't use something until it's useless, we use it until we are at Target and see another one that is so cute and on sale. We end up with 5 kettles of varying shapes and colors and use just one. If I start adding up the dollars....well, nevermind about that. It's too disappointing.
