How does a woman end up with….

SIXTY SEVEN PAIR of underwear! shhhh! Yes I’m embarrassed to say this is me! I have been doing so well with keeping up with the laundry lately, that I was beginning to notice, everyone’s dresser drawers were overflowing!
I decided it was time to start getting rid of the clothing that we’ve accumulated over the years and keep the stuff that the kids actually are wearing. There’s no sense holding onto something “just in case” . Your dresser is prime real estate in your home and if your undies drawer is overflowing with uncomfortable unmentionables it’s time to clean up that hot property! So clean up and out I did!
First I emptied the entire drawer and divided into stuff I like and wear often and stuff that only gets worn when the laundry gets low. The pile started to grow and grow. I honestly have no idea how it all fit in there or how I ever found anything in the morning. In the end, I counted 67 pair of panties! I held onto 20 of my most comfortable pairs of knickers.
Next was the bras… THIRTY TWO! Again I’m embarrased to say that more than half of them were nursing bras, and some of them were over 12 years old, as I know I bought them when I was nursing Mackenzie!
Ladies do yourself a favour, ditch the ill fitting ginch!
So now that I have all of these drawers out of my dresser drawers what can I do with them? I’m not going to donate them, yuck! So any ideas for them, or should I accept defeat and let them live their resting days at the landfill? Does anyone really want to see me wiping down my walls with my Joe Boxers?
