Our family has enough clothes to feed a small army...
Excuse me while I mix my metaphors a bit, but what I'm staying is the absolute truth!
We have gone for two weeks without doing laundry.
My children have worn a new (ie. CLEAN--not newly purchased) outfit (usually consisting of 3-5 pieces of clothing) everyday these past two weeks.
They have not worn the same thing twice.
They still have plenty of clothes in their drawers.
I did laundry today...about 8 loads of it...and guess what?! I can't fit it all into the drawers! There's no way.
I tried culling the piles...gave some to charity; packaged some up to give to my friends' son; threw some away...and still...
NO ROOOM for it all!!
This is a bit disgusting to me. I didn't realize that we've been collecting clothes like knick-knacks collect dust, but apparently we are! The weird thing is that I consider myself to be a thrifty shopper and I try really hard to steer away from the materialistic have-to-have-all-name-brand-stuff mentality that plagues us these days.
I've obviously failed somewhere along the line because seriously, if I were to sell all these clothes, I could probably end up with enough money to support a small army with food and supplies! Or maybe if I didn't sell them, I could just donate them to a small army and giggle as they do their boot camp in pink capri's, and tight t-shirts! Hey! I think I might like to see a sweaty, buff man in a tight t-shirt.
Where do I send the clothes?! and where can I get tickets to watch?
I'm not shallow...honest...I just really have a lot of clothes and a desire to share. Is that so wrong?!
Don't judge...
