Hairy lipbalm and other treasures

Yeah so... still here. Saturday we move and the following Friday we complete.
I forgot over the last 5 years what a pain it is to pack an entire home! I also forgot not to hoard stuff... like: 
does a person need 200 balls of wool?
and wouldn't it be far better to chose a sewing project before buying fabric!
oh yeah and btw: you don't need any more pretty notebooks!

Please don't mistake me I don't intend to give up any of those items (besides the token few to make M. feel better) but I must try to remember!

Today was the day we dismantled the girl's bunk beds which are three high. The bottom bunk sits only millimeters off the floor and has (unbeknownst to me) been collecting an interesting array of curiosities, rather like the song the Ompa-loompas sing for Varruca Salt but this one is about K. and E.:


A hairy lipbalm no one wants, 
a smallish piece of croissant.
Lego bricks and playdough blocks,
tiny gears scavenged from clocks.
A bookmark and a doll's arm
a long forgotten bracelet charm.
These disgusting curiosities
have my children left for me.
