I have spent the last 2 weeks in a flurry of activity as I try to get things around the house cleaned up. I feel like the mess is holding us back from being a little more together. Does that make sense? Maybe the puppy would be easier to potty train if the house was clean. Maybe the hubby would find a little time for romance if the house was clean. Maybe I could get a better handle on general day to day activities if the house was clean. Maybe I would FINALLY be able to start on the basement if the house was clean. I know, that sounds stupid, but in my mind, it's not. Currently I have two rooms VERY clean (out of 9....*blush*). Tonight the third one should be very clean. Hopefully by Friday, the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th will be clean. On Saturday the 8th. The 9th....well I haven't yet determined the fate of that yet, so it might have to wait. But to have 8 rooms very clean makes me so excited I might pee a little. I always say that I will better be able to stay on top of things when everything is clean. The problem is, every time I clean one thing, something else gets messy. I can't stay on top of it, much less clean it all to begin with. So, IF this all gets accomplished, I'm going to set aside time each week to do the sheets, the PJ's, the week's clothes, sweep, vacuum, dust, etc, etc. And I can go back to the dishwasher routine my husband and I had for a minute. The biggest problem right now is laundry. A good majority of it is clean BUT...I'm running out of room for it. The girls don't have HUGE dressers. I've had to get a little creative....
I just want it to be clean and STAY that way for longer than a minute. I want to purge, I want to paint, I want to organize. The amount of crap we have is just crazy.....and the amount of crap I want to get done (non-necessities) is just crazy too. But not until the house is clean(er)..... Oh Mary, where have you been all my life with your toys that pick themselves up and penguins that serve you tea....? Okay that last one has nothing to do with anything, but it would be fun! :-)
