How Many is Too Many!

So one of my resolutions for the new year is to clean out at least one cupboard or closet each month. For January I chose my two bathroom linen closets since Mom is staying with me for a little while and I didn't want to disappear for hours. :-) As my trash bag gradually filled with outdated make-up, creams and prescriptions, I ran across a couple of boxes of band aids. Mom thought 2 were quite a few for just two people. Then I found box 3 and 4 and she was quite surprised. Of course, box 5, 6, 7 and 8 left her chuckling in disbelief. While I was sheepishly deciding on a place to store the boxes together, I found box 9 and 10 (bought just a couple of weeks ago I think) and Mom laughed right out loud. She is certain we have band aids for the next decade. She might be right! :-)

PS - In case you are wondering, all 10 boxes are now neatly together in a basket. :-)

Okay, now that is hilarious!! I thought i was bad since we go through bandaids like no other, but I do declare, we've never had 10 boxes at one time ;)

Good for you cleaning our your closets!!

I like Glenna's idea--we never have enough bandaides around here. I hope I win one!
