I have a loft bed and a broken dresser full of clothes I talk myself into keeping, three bookshelves and 4 hundred books, i have lots of clothes and shoes, and a cat...and just WAY too much stuff! I don't remember what color my carpet is...seriously. Oh and whats the least dangerous way to clean up powdered ant poison? I also do have a laundry hamper, although I dont use it often enough, and I have TONS of boxes full of STUFF.

Take some gas and a match to it, then rise, like a phoenix from the ashes, free of all that clutter. Just hope the insurance pays...
No, seriously. The main problem tends to be that we get the feeling "Oh, but I have to keep this, because so and so gave it to me, or I bought it on such and such a day when this and that happened. It's a cherished tresure, and I can't bear to part with it."
Or "Oh, but I should keep that, because I might use it for such and such some day."
Or "Oh, I could sell that for a lot of money..."
Get real. If it were cherished, you'd have a special shrine set up just for it, and you'd dust it every day, If you were going to use it, you'd have used it already, and if you could really sell it, then you would have sold it.
Put yourself in a bad mood a day or so before trash time, get a big box, or a bucket, and start grabbing things. Can you really sell it? Where, huh? Nowhere! Are you really going to use it? No, because you already never use it. Is it of any sentimental value? Oh, really? is that why you have it lying under a pile on the floor? I see, you cared about it so much that you'd been worried sick about finding it for ten years, and it's taken you that long to turn the room upside down to find it.
OK, can't sell it, don't use it, didn't care enough to find it before, so into the trash it goes. Don't be gentle. Don't worry about giving it away to save the starving test subject monkeys in afghanistan. Save yourself from all this crud. Save yourself from tripping on old shoes when you go to the bathroom at night. Save yourself some floor space to pace on. Save yourself some desk space to write on.
Be brutal, dump that crap like an ex-lover that lies and steals. Into the box, then into the trash can, then kick the crud to the curb.
WOO HOO! Look at all that free space you've got now! Hey, you can pace, you can write letters, you can find something to wear. Look, theres' even a radio over there in the corner!
You deserve to celebrate, so take a nice relaxing shower, go on out to watch some movies, eat out at a nice restaurant, and have a few drinks with your homies if that's how you get your groove on.
Don't come back until the trash truck has hauled it away... otherwise you might remeber how much you loved that stupid ratty stuffed kitten that's at the bottom of the trash can.
Having trouble getting motivated, go on out and rent the movie "Labrynth," and watch the part with the bag lady a couple times.

What somewhat sucks is the way your Dad is appearing. possibly you will desire to confront him approximately it. in any different case, wait and notice. i'm assuming you would be waiting to head out quickly, and issues will artwork themselves out over the years. yet, just to remember, you would be assertive without being a brat approximately particular issues that are subject concerns. you're area of the family individuals, and need to have your evaluations heard. do exactly no longer develop your voice--in case you reside at the same time with your dad and mom, they immediately take it as an indication that they'd desire to make particular you comprehend who's in cost. stay calm and logical and corporation in the place you stand--you have a solid factor, especially in case you properly known which you have been interior the incorrect approximately cleansing her room, inspite of the fact that it replaced into for solid reasons. in case you start up out with that, you're plenty greater probably to get a good reaction. additionally, i could elevate the factor that perhaps the bunnies want a clean living house. If she will no longer shield them, do no longer positioned it on your self to, be certain you style of arise for your self, on a similar time as no longer being cruel to the animals. they're going to the two would desire to agree or make confident the rabbits get fed. basically point out it and then persist with by--factor out on a daily basis in case you spot that it is not finished. i'm confident as quickly as that is introduced to (and saved in) your Dad's interest, he will shield it.

Make your bed as best as possible then grab all your dirty laundry and take it downstairs. Now start in one corner and pick up everything and put it on your bed. Now put it all away where it belongs. Now here's some CLEAN clothes you need to hang up and put away where it belongs.... Thought I was talking to my kids for a minute. =)
