start spreading the news, i'm leaving today

Busy week(end)... we've been packing up all our stuff because we just found out officially on Friday that we're moving on Monday. 3 days may sound very little to pack up everything in your house... and it is. I used to have my grandma, grandpa, dad, mom, sister, and me (not all at the same time - my grandpa died before I was born) living in my house for more than 20 years, so you can probably imagine how much junk we have. We remodeled our house a year after my dad died, and we seriously threw away like half the stuff in the house. And now, after moving everything, we're throwing away even more, but we STILL have tons of stuff.
It's fun though, because I find stuff that I never remembered owning. I found a painting from a few years ago in my garage (where we put everything old and just leave it there) and I've been staring at it for a while and have no idea what it is... either it was supposed to be a butterfly or a mask. Or maybe it was abstract... I can't tell. That's how artistic I am.
But the bad thing is that I have to crush my spirits and throw away everything I don't need, which really hurts me, because I'm the kind of person who likes to keep things that remind me of the past. Oh, well, I guess. I have to let go of the past.
Anyways, I'm excited. Love the house. :) Scared I'll lose tons of things though... my mom hired cheap movers.
