To much Junk!
I have come to realize over the last few weeks of spring cleaning that we have way to much JUNK. I'm not talking about Justen's treasures, I'm talking plain old worthless takes up space, don't need it anyway, never needed it in the first place junk. And one trash bag at a time it is leaving my house. We're on our second trip to the DI, I've put some stuff on freecycle, and the trash can has never been more full. Last night I organized and de-cluttered the bathroom. I thought the kitchen was the worst, but the bathroom takes the cake. I am not exaggerating when I say this, I found 15 open tubes of toothpaste stuffed around the bathroom. They were in every drawer, every bin, every bag, nook and cranny. You may have wondered how many things of deodorant one person needs, well for the average person the answer is one at a time, for us the answer is 11. Now, while it's true that counts the travel sizes in our bathroom bag to go.... we actually each had 3 in there! So now everything is organized, all the partially used stuff has been combined into one bottle, or put neatly in a bag or box. I haven't gotten to the deep cleaning of the bathroom yet, it took me three days just to organize it. So as I said before I'm moving very slow. After two weeks of working I am now up to "day 4" on the spring cleaning party. My living room, kitchen, and bathroom are now done. We also went ahead and did the linen and coat closets since they are in the living room, and when we shampooed the carpets we did the living room and down the hall. Hopefully we'll have the bathroom deep cleaned by this weekend, and Monday we'll tackle Garrison's room. I know not everyone loves spring cleaning as much as I do, but hopefully someone will be inspired to tackle one room. I actually hate cleaning, but I love having my house clean, organized and easy to take care of. I can hardly wait until I'm done. At my current pace I should finish sometime around August.
