I just joined tonight. I start tomorrow on the clean up. We could not have a Christmas tree this year because there was no room and the area in the basement where all the decorations were was full to the ceiling and I could not get the stuff. Enough is enough for my poor kids. I am so happy I found all of you.

Welcome rebaustin! Sounds like you are in the right place... so pull up a chair, and jump in any ole place!
How about joining us in the Working In Threes (WITs) thread in listzilla? It is a wonderful place to start...
Welcome! Glad you are here!

Welcome, Rebaustin  !
You have my sympathy on the lack of Christmas decor. We haven't had a tree up for years. It is partly because of the cats, but if I really admit it to myself, it is also because I can't imagine where we could put it. My kids have to go to grandma's to enjoy a tree.
Your "enough is enough" attitude is great. It is your line in the sand. Hold fast to it and things will get better.
We're happy you found us, too.

Welcome, Rebaustin! And what a wonderful starting point. Everyone has ups and downs, but since it is New Years Day, by next Christmas I think that you will have made such a huge difference that you will be able to get to the decorations, and put a tree up!
I am several years into this desqualoring/decluttering thing, and it has been life changing. Many many people here helped pull me through, and now we are all ready to help you (as you help us).
I'm glad that you found us, and Happy New Year!

Welcome, Rebaustin! This Christmas was an eye-opener for me, too. But I'm confident that with the support here we will have less of a struggle next Christmas.

Welcome!
I second the suggestion to jump right on in the "working in threes" thread in the listzilla forum. It seems to be a pretty effective method for just getting started and then keeping at it.
