Oh, Tonya, I can SO sympathise with you.
My son left on Thursday to stay with his dad for a month, and I decided to clean his room while he is gone.
I ended up, three days later, with five huge 33 gallon garbage bags full of stuff that went to the dumpster, and five huge 33 gallon garbage bags full of stuff that went to Goodwill. So, ten giant bags of stuff removed from his room ... and he STILL has more stuff than any child needs to own.
I, too, have the grandparent problem. It's ridiculous.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
