I am a 46 y.o. married mother of two sons ages 7 and 10 years old from Illinois. I am endeavoring to clear the clutter out of my basement this year. This has been my "cross to bear" for past 10 years since we moved into this house. We live in a tiny 3 bedroom, one bathroom, raised ranch. My house is close to 50 years old and not designed very well to living in today's world. Basements are unusual in this area so we thought that was a plus. Our living area is about 800 square feet only. Due to tiny living area, when we needed to clean up the clutter, we merely bought it down into the basement, mostly never to look at it or see it again. Doing this over and over, over the years has caused much accumulation of stuff and our basement is unusable as another area for us to occupy and enjoy. We could benefit from cleared out space of the basement for mental health of all family members. I have purchased (not necessarily read) many clearing clutter type books. Problem is it is so overwhelming I become frozen and can't seem to start the clutter clearing momentum. I also work full-time outside the home which leaves me with limited time at night and precious/valuable time on weekends when I need time to clean our tiny living area, shop for groceries and other necessities, bond with my children, who the heck has time or wants to spend time clearing out the cluttered basement? My extended family says, "get a dumpster and throw everything out." So easy for them to say when it is not their stuff, so they have no attachment value to any of the items. I do not believe I have a hoarding problem. Once I hired a professional organizer for 2 hours to help me get started with clearing out all the "stuff." When the organizer lady came over to help me clear a small corner out in the basement, I was able to power through the area no problem and produced 10 large bags for Goodwill and a garbage bag as well full of trash. Yet, I have thought of many varied/additional plans for clearing the clutter as well. Get a portable storage unit delivered here to my home to help move stuff out of the basement so it forces me to go through and get rid of stuff I no longer need or want, but this is costly. I read the description of this book and it seemed to offer hope to me. Being realistic about the timeframe to turn around the basement was what attracted me to the description of the book. I did have a garage sale in 2007 but it barely made a dent in my stuff. I have high chairs down there and my youngest is 7 years old. It has been hard knowing about the clutter, it is draining my relationship with my husband, it is a huge source of embarrassment too. When our only toilet was not working, my plumber came over and needed to look at the pipes in the basement and I was mortified. I had to do some song-and-dance on the situation. Very embarrassing. Lately my tub has stopped draining adequately. Many plunges with a plunger and Drain-O will eventually have to have my very understanding plumber back out to my house to replace very old lock under the tub area (you guessed it, access through the basement) and possible replacement of pipes too in order to clear out the blockage down there. However, my plumber cannot perform the work he needs to do until I clear about 1/3 of an area in my basement out. I think this book could help set me on the right path of clearing the clutter out for good. I would be eternally grateful if you would consider giving me one of the three books you are offering for free this week.

If I'm not go...I am a definite saver of things. If I'm not going to use it right away I might need it for something later or I am sure there is something else I can use it for or I might wear it again since it still fits. Those are my favorite "reasonings" for the clutter I have. I will admit I was much worse, but I still need to find some motivation to declutter.<br><br>We recently moved and I moved 4 boxes that I packed 3 years ago from our last move that I never opened --- because they might have something we need. And now I can see where my clutter is starting to reappear since we have almost everything unpacked (except those 4 boxes!)and I really don't want that to happen!!!Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995823812748651777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879166154745124701.post-58827500622627077112010-03-06T23:56:24.973-05:002010-03-06T23:56:24.973-05:00Dad of Divas email subscribersusan56bft at gmail d...Dad of Divas email subscriber<br><br>susan56bft at gmail dot comSusanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995823812748651777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879166154745124701.post-71298028436084716092010-03-06T23:56:24.972-05:002010-03-06T23:56:24.972-05:00Dad of Divas follower via Googlesusan56bft at gmai...Dad of Divas follower via Google<br><br>susan56bft at gmail dotSusanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995823812748651777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879166154745124701.post-16558598282848962872010-03-06T23:57:28.361-05:002010-03-06T23:57:28.361-05:00Dad of Divas added to Technorati Favoritesuserid:j...Dad of Divas added to Technorati Favorites<br>userid:jazzbrk<br><br>susan56bft at gmail dotSusanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995823812748651777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879166154745124701.post-91418670203343567912010-03-06T23:57:28.360-05:002010-03-06T23:57:28.360-05:00Dad of Divas fan on Facebookuserid:Susan Claussusa...Dad of Divas fan on Facebook<br>userid:Susan Claus<br><br>susan56bft at gmail dotSusanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995823812748651777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879166154745124701.post-71204925146859263642010-03-06T23:59:35.394-05:002010-03-06T23:59:35.394-05:00I would like to win this book because I am constan...I would like to win this book because I am constantly fighting clutter in my house.
