Binge and Purge

In our house most projects get relegated to naptime and maybe bedtime if I have enough energy. So I try to get massive amounts of things done in one small amount of time. Like right now I'm trying to paint the downstairs playroom. It has taken over a week so far and I'm not nearly done. Lily goes down for her nap I race to get everything out and paint what I can before I hear her stirring in her crib about 2 hours later. On the days I'm being smart I try to finish a little before she wakes up so I can clean up the brushes and rollers. I feel good about how it will look in the end. I've always disliked the wallpaper that adorned the walls in that room. It's a dark room with one sliding glass door and no windows. I feel like the yellow I chose will make it feel brighter down there. I've got the yellow on two walls and I really like it. Both walls still need a second coat and the one other wall still only has primer. The other wall...well, it's behind the HEAVY couch, bookshelf and desk. I still haven't touched that wall. Like I said, it's taking a while to get things done.
Today we will be working on painting as well as purging our storage areas. We are running out of space and we NEED to get rid of stuff. I'm wondering if I should get rid of my baby stuff that is still in good shape. I want to save it in case I would ever need to use it again, but I don't think I will need it(if you know what I mean). I'm not sure if I should make those kinds of decisions until Lily is a little older, so this leaves me in a quandary about what to do with the baby stuff Lily has outgrown. I hate purging. It's against my sentimental pack rat nature. It's always hard for me. It's especially hard when a certain husband of mine "helps" me. He pulls out boxes of my stuff, holds up one item at a time and says things like, "You don't need this. Do you?" Never mind all the boxes of his stuff we have like cassette tapes from the 80s, yea. Anywho, that's what my day looks like today. Fun stuff.
