This morning I woke up and everywhere I looked was stuff… dirt…. and more stuff. There wasn’t a single room that was clean. I had myself a mini little meltdown. Then I remembered that there are 5 people in our house (well, 4 1/2) – and there was no reason they couldn’t help me fix this!
So we spent about an hour and a half this morning and did a mega clean. The house looks good. Not great, but definitely good enough to calm my nerves. We got all the bathrooms cleaned – even the mirrors. I hate it when I think it is done and then I come back later and see that I forgot the mirror. It makes the whole room seem dirty. We got the kitchen cleaned and swept and a quick mop done. Even dusted the living room. And I’m still pretty caught up on laundry from our camping.
I feel so much better. The kids start school on Monday. Yes THIS Monday. We’ve been slowly doing some cleaning of clothes and toys and school supplies, and I think that is adding to my clutter control issues. I know it has to look worse before it looks better – but I hate making piles of stuff on to of dirt. I’m hoping to get through the girl’s closet and the play room today. Then I can make some huge donations!! and the house should feel a load lifted.
Next up is my summer of to do list stuff that I didn’t ever do 🙂 I have 2 weeks before I go back to work and I’m expecting some impressive productivity.
Take a chill pill and enjoy the kids. Maddy will be starting preschool and then…….no more babies! Luv, Mom
