I was depressed about the clutter in this house. There were too many books, VCRs and LPs and I did not know where to start. I know we have made some headway but not enough. I can’t just get rid of stuff: I have to run it by my “other”. I really do not know where to start. I was down to begin with and when I look around at the clutter I just got more depressed. The house is out of control. I don’t know where to start or do this mutually. I need someone to come in and aid us in this process. We have had one room we call a junk room. We want it to be a guest room but it feels like it will never be cleared. I step in it and I just shake my head. I just don’t know what to do any longer.

I just felt bad. I had gone on a rant about the disorder in this house, all the things that I never wanted to come in this house especially the “stuff” we brought back from Austin when her Mom died. It filled two rooms and a garage. Our house was full of stuff. There was also the “chaos” room.
Also months ago my wife had discovered a web site for people to exchange stuff they did not want. It appeared that for every one thing that went out three things came in.
Her face had dropped after my ten minute rant. I had a major hand in souring her mood. I wish I could take my words back. I just felt bad. I discounted totally the effort she had made in getting rid of some of the stuff. I just made her feel bad.
