My flinging!
OK so I coudln't keep up with you all and I still have a ways to go to get where I want to be. Here is what I have managed so far...
My room, disposed of (via yard sale) 1 desk, a large rubbermaid tub (the HUGE ones that can hold a xmas tree!) of misc. from the closet, master bath and bedroom. This did not include the HUGE pile of clothes that went as well!
From the main parts of the house, 3 shelf units, 2 desks and a large tub of stuff, plus 3 crates of books and one of family games.
From each boys room, a med pile of clothes and a crate of stuff.
PLUS each boy got rid of a large (lawn and leaf size) black trash bag of trash! (Chris and I cleared his back pack of 15-20 lbs of used paper!)
Kitchen, bread maker, food processor (we only used it to grate cheese, and here the shredded and block cheeses are only a cent or 2 a part in price! not worth the effort or power to me to save .02c!) frybaby fryer (it is easier to clean out a pan on the very rare occassions I deep fry things!) set of 3 pans. Oh and my roaster, I will get a new one next year for turkey day since i do not like this one, it never shuts off even when you put the dial on off. It is only 2 years old so it should sell.
Now I took one desk from MJ's old office (now with one pc and getting ready for some guests we have dismantled his office) and put it in the laundry room, replacing a smaller less storage friendly one. The hall between the laundry room and kitchen will inherit the game/ book case that houses the last of MJ's books and the rest of the family games.
In the livingroom, we got rid of a black plastic shelf unit and replaced it with the wooden one from my desk area and got our entertainment stuff all contained there.
Now I just need to organize the bookcase in my bedroom closet to house the books there and what is in my office, should not be too hard, just time consuming! It will be done tomorrow!
Now I have more empty cabinets and the boys closets are bare! I LOVE having empty space!
Tommorrow will be a day of vaccuming and making sure the trash is all bagged up!
