Ok so day one of my purge to get to 100 things.  I went to my linen closet.  I open it up and "wow" is all I can think.  We are overflowing with towels, misc stuff such as bandaides (not in their boxes but scattered about), medicines, lotions, sunscreen, batteries, shampoo, conditioner, soaps of all varieties, lightbulbs, a shoe, TP..the list goes on but I will stop boring you.  OK, where to start?  The most obvious, the one that screams at me because there-is-no-right-way-to-fold-these-so-that-they-stay-in-place-Towels!.  I pull them out one by one and final count is 47.  Seriously, 47!  For a family of 5.  I can understand having a lot of towels if say you have 12 kids, 4 dogs and a few other pets, but 47 for my small family of 5.  It seems a little...well...much.  I get rid of all the ones with holes or that are fraying.  I'm down to 30.  Next I get rid of the ones that are too small or our big bodies.  I'm down to 25.  Ummmmm.  Ok in reality we only need 10.  2 each.  I'm down to 10, but start to think do we even really need 2 each.  Each of my kids have their own towel that they take to the bathroom with them, it comes out of the bathroom with them and they hang it up on a hook in their room.  If you forget to take your towel with you to the bathrrom when you shower you must "streak" to your room.  Believe me this only happens once or twice, and the other kids are waiting with camera in hand.....My kids are also each assigned a laundry day.  My kiddos started doing their own laundry at age 12.  3 loads on their assigned night.  1 whites, 1 darks and 1 for sheets and towels.  for the most part we stick to this plan, but the other day I pulled 4 towels out of my youngest room thinking to myself "I am really slacking off, need to be tougher about the streaking!" So back to the towel delima, if we each have 2, 1 for everyday use and 1 for the day we do laundry, and the 4 back up towels for guests with a grand total of 14. note: this does not include hand towels for the bathrooms nor does it include washing rags or towels for the kitchen.  I'll tackle that another day, but for now I can close that closet door, towels neatly folded and staying in place and feel like I have accomplished something today.  One step closer to my 100 things.
