Twenty minutes. That's how long my son has slept today. And of course, I have an insane amount of stuff to get done and of course, I was totally planning on doing it during his usual 2-3 hour afternoon nap.

Smigh.

I'm addicted to freecycle and craigslist - mostly because there are people out there willing to take any and all of the crap I've been trying to get rid of for ages. I'm not kidding - I had a huge bag of mismatched socks. We gave up trying to find the pairs (I swear, the dryer eats them for breakfast). So out of curiosity, I listed the bag on craigslist - and someone came by and took it that very afternoon! Seriously - they took our old socks. People are weird.

So I've been emptying closets and digging through the basement and making piles to give away. Sure, I could get some money if I sold everything on ebay, but that requires a whole lot of time and energy I don't have. A few non-profits have taken things, too, which I'm glad for. The bigger stuff I'm selling, but otherwise - just take it! Please! Hell, I'm considering having a "Yard Free" - like a yard sale, but everything is free. I'd put a jar out for donations for Children's Hospital Boston, in case anyone felt like donating, but it would be completely optional. I'd get rid of the random clutter and perhaps make a few bucks for a worthy cause. Think it'd work?
