I'm Way Too Sentimental

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I keep track of my appts/to-do list at work with a weekly planner, and the one I've been using was a 2 year planner that I have had since 7/09.

I need to shred it now that I have a new one, it has all kinds of personal info about clients, employees, passwords, accounts, etc. but I'm having a hard time letting go and throwing it in that bin.

It has survived pregnancy, birth, a 3 month blank space of maternity leave, a trial promotion, a real promotion, the 2 month adjustment period when I started this new position of FULL pages and extra lists paperclipped when I had so much to do I was drowning.

Anyone else get really sentimental about looking back over a period in your life and reminiscing over the pages, even if it's a planner full of work stuff?

Um, yeah. The Bump be too crazy for pics of my kid.

    I have a planner from when I was in nursing school and DH and I had just started dating. Amongst all the scribbles for clinicals, labs and papers due I have our first date and first kiss, and basically all the super fun things we did together in our first year. I cannot for the life of me get the guts to toss it. I say keep it!

    oh jeepers I do the same thing... I got a promotion at work and I got to change offices the old calendars I found... I keep all kinds of things like that!  I am really trying to get rid of things... It's hard! 

    Good luck to you!

    Why don't you keep it?  It memories for you, and it sounds like some great times in your life. Maybe a fun thing for LO to look at when they are in the same place in their life?  Or not... lol

    Yes. Because of this I keep a journal that I customize with pictures, movie tickets, pamphlets, dates that were special to me and other mementos. It's not a scrapbook since I write pages and pages of how I feel. I've been doing this since I was a little girl. I love to look back on all the journals and re-read them.

    So I've heard...Wink

    I made my boss toss it. She was going to the ladies room and had to pass the shred bin to get there.

    Sigh...I knew if I didn't do it soon I'd chicken out, and it really cannot be in danger of being lost.

    Then I sat at my desk with my hands on my fresh, new planner, took a big deep breath, and said to myself "this year will be even better".

    ETA: Rereading that, I'm such a nerd.

    Um, yeah. The Bump be too crazy for pics of my kid.
