Last week I made a list.
A ginormous list.
[as in a 'these toilets are ginormous' list.]
And I stuck it to the fridge.
Of course, Jeremiah noticed it
and pleaded with me to take it down
as work enough is stressful these days.
But regardless of where it's living,
the list is still very much alive and well in our home.
The list contains a series of chores and to do's
that I'm both procrastinating and secretly excited about.
It's Spring Cleaning time!
This month I'll be:
Washing Windows
Cleaning floors
Scrubbing bathrooms
Dusting furniture
Cleaning out closets
Re-organizing pantries and junk drawers
Vacuuming furniture
Washing sheets
Donating Clothes
Taking others to the Dry Cleaners
Of course "The List" intimidates me too.
Which is why I'm taking a new approach this year.
Instead of blocking off an entire weekend
and getting knee deep in bleach until my nose bleeds from the chemicals,
I've planned to do a little work each week during the month of April.
I'm sure it'll probably feel like the cleaning project that never ends,
but by the end of April,
I will have a fully deep-cleaned and organized home.
I started with my bedroom closet last night
and it felt awe - to - the - SOME.
Do you participate in the Spring cleaning epidemic, too?
Any secret tips and tricks??
