I'm off today because my dad is gone to a luncheon & to do his paper route. I decided to stay home to look after my mom since dad is gone all day. I thought I could do some cleaning while I'm there. Their basement is...........a disaster area. I feel sick to my stomach when I go down there. My mom saves EVERYTHING. We need to clean down there...but there is so much stuff. Today I threw away 3 garbage bags of old cannned goods and boxed goods that were out dated. I spent three hours re-arranging her canned goods. After all that...there still isn't enough room on the shelves for all her stuff. I wish I could call that tv show called Clean House and have them come and fix up my parents basement. I have to just work on one small area at a time or else its too overwhelming. My mom gets so mad that I am throwing out her things...but........its things she hasn't used in 10-20 years. It's got to go. No one needs all that stuff.
My mom got a beautiful flower arrangement & teddy bear from The Claflin's yesterday. Everyone has been really wonderful. She gets cards wishing her well in the mail every day. So many people care. It's amazing. Our friends are really wonderful.
