I am sore all over and physically exhausted as well. Lifting my arms feels like lifting 100 pounds, lol. But I feel happy and satisfied too. I attacked my house today and got so much done. About twice a year I rip apart each room in my house. It’s usually around February/March and then again around August/September. The garbage men HATE me on these days, lol. Ya know what amazes me the most?? It’s all the crap we manage to acquire in between these cleanings. In about 6 months time we seem to acquire enough crap for 2 more houses!! I keep tossing it out and they keep bringing it back.
Today I started cleaning at 10 am and I didn’t stop till after 6 pm. I cleaned Drew’s room from top to bottom. Washing his walls, vacuuming his floor, scrubbing his carpet, sorting, tossing and organizing his toys. Everything. Then I clean Ashley’s…same drill basically… minus the toy sorting, lol. The front hall and the entire living room got attacked today too. 8 hours! Next I have to hit my linen closet, my bedroom (again!! I have already clean my bedroom twice this year, lol.) and the kitchen (also again!) I have 4 huge garbage bags filled with crap I threw out and 3 filled with stuff to donate and I haven’t even gone through Drew’s clothes yet. I ran out of steam, lol.
And Drew…He has to own 1000+ cars…EASY!!! Look for yourself. This is every car he owns. Most are small matchbox cars. This bin is 2 feet long by 2 feet high by 1 foot wide. (2 x 2 x 1). And it’s filled to the brim.. and then some, lol. Do you think he needs more?? Hehe.
But after all of that… I have 70% of my house super squeaky clean. And over the next week I’ll probably finish the house… whew, lol.
