I think it is important to point out that I started in the master bedroom for good reason. It is always good to begin with the problems closest to us. I can't go around cleaning other's messes until I have my own under control. My mother-in-law taught me years ago that it isn't fair to expect my kid's areas to be clean if mine are still a mess, so I always start with myself. Great insight. Plus, tomorrow when I wake up I will have beauty and accomplishment surrounding me, instead of chaos. Always a good plan.
I dissolved the pile in the corner of the master bedroom and proved once again that we have wall to wall carpet.
I also cleared the dresser top, and found gift cards to the movies from Christmas, pictures of the baby when he was ten days old, and two delicious pieces of chocolate left in the box from Valentines day!
But I decided something at the close of those two endeavours, I have to give up on part of my project. Oh, don't get me wrong I'm not giving up, I am just being honest about the number of hours in the day and number of children still at home. (Oh yeah, I miss counted, I don't have four kids at home I have five :) I will get to the deepest cleaning, i.e., dresser drawers and under the beds, but probably not in every room in these two days. It's alright, I'm okay with it now.
Fixed dinner for the kids, and baked a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Christie and Andrew came over and we enjoyed the evening watching Aladdin with the kids. Got the little ones bathed, and in bed later than usual, Spring Break you know.
Now the big question is "Should I go ahead and tackle that freezer closet?" It is late, but it probably won't take that long.
"Tune in tomorrow to see if Anna got the closet tackled."
