For whatever reason, I am having trouble getting motivated to deep clean my house. It may have something to do with the fact that over the course of this last week of school and then the crazy weekend that followed, my house has become what appears to be some sort of war zone. I know many of you know me, and you’ve been to my home many times and you are thinking… yeah, right. Well, yeah RIGHT! It’s horrible! My children’s rooms are so full of junk I can’t turn off the lights at bedtime until I am out of the room for fear I may step on something! My own bedroom, usually the calm in the chaos of messy, is horrific… so horrific that even Chris said he couldn’t stand it anymore! Do you REALIZE how bad it has to be for HIM to say that?! B.A.D. Laundrey has pilled up everywhere, things have been shoved under the sofas, and every day something new comes up missing. So, I have only one full day before Jess (my wonderful friend who has been away from me for tooo long and is coming to see me!) gets here so I have 24 hours to get off my bootay and get this stuff done!
I’m going to type it all down and this way you will all keep me accountable, right?! Of course!
Tomorrow I will:
Go through my scrapbook stuff and pitch what I do not use (and by pitch I mean craigslist it lol)
go through the catch-all drawer and clean it out
get everything out from under the sofas
clean out my backpack
organize the hall closet
clean out laundry cubby
clean both bathrooms
organize linen closet
gut my closet!
gut my desk
list books on half.com or amazon
clean children’s rooms (either while they are at school so I can purge or with their help after school… I haven’t decided)
clean my bedroom
LAUNDRY (wash, fold, AND PUT AWAY)
Move dressers into the kids rooms??? Not sure, we’ll see!
vacuum
scrub bathroom floors and kitchen floor
I think that is all, but I reserve the right to add on! Ok… send me your motivational vibes!!!!! I’m going to head to bed so I can gear up for tomorrow!!!
Do it, do it do it! When our house starts looking crazy it helps to start with one room. Just choose one to start with (probably the easiest one) and make it look nice. That way there is at least one place to show you how great it’s going to be when the rest is done. Also, about selling your books, is anyone taking the classes right now? Should you wait for the fall semester?
I freaked for a moment when I read you were throwing away your scrapbooking stuff, I seriously had to go back and reread the sentence more carefully! LOL You can do it Kate! You can do anything. And I know you’re a super-cleaner (put me way to shame)!!! I’ll call you later for an update!
Kate, I can’t believe that it got so bad that Chris said he couldn’t take it anymore. That is B.A.D!!! Well I think you deserve a BIG GOOD LUCK and I hope it gets clean! luv ya bunches!
