Cleaning Bug

Well We didn't end up going to Church yesterday because our Jeep is acting up.  Looks like it might be the Alternator again.  This time it's over charging (we are thinking) thankfully since we just got a new one put in not too long ago it's on Warranty so it won't cost anything to get it fixed.  It better not anyway ugh.   Harlow has to doing things to start school so it's not the best time for it to break down but then again when is a good time right? LOL.  So pray he can get it in tomorrow and fixed!

Since we didn't get to go to Church I seemed to have gotten into another cleaning mode LOL.  Since having that post on yesterday on where we like to study I realized our school/playroom needs to be cleaned out and reorganized.  See it's a pretty small room so it's not like I can fit a lot in it.  So the boys and I once again went through their toys. (Man they collect a lot of toys fast.) So now most of their toys are back in their room. (the ones we aren't going to give away or throw away.) 

I still have more to do to it tomorrow.  I need to go through the closet and then hopefully stick one of their totes(big one too) of cars in there since they won't have enough room in their room for that.  Then of course vacuum it all out and then put the big corner desk that's in the living room and move it back into the school room (I haven't had a desk in there for a while now) and I will put my laptop and school stuff on the desk while Harlow is going to use my small desk for his computer since he doesn't have as much stuff as I do LOL.  Then I will just have to rearrange the boys desk and I will be happy. (for now LOL.)

Then of course after the school room is all done I am going (with the boys help of course) to tackle the boys room.  Try and get things a little more organized in there hopefully.  It's really hard since the bedrooms are just so small.  That I will either start tomorrow after I am done with the school room or Friday. 

After that of course I will have to go through and really clean the living room, bathroom and Kitchen but they should be a lot better to go through since they are at least kept up on for daily cleaning (key word usually).  Our room I will probably get to soon as well.  Not a lot to be done there except a little more organized.  So you can say the cleaning bug has bitten me.  At least for now LOL.  So what have you been up too?

Cleaning and More Cleaning.

Boy I feel wiped out today LOL. I think it's the combination of getting the house sorted and cleaned (still working on that LOL) and it being warm out. Today we did grocery shopping but I finished cleaning and sorting through the play room. The boy's did all their stuff yesterday but I had to sort through my stuff today. Wasn't as much as the boy's but it was still a task LOL.

Oh and yes for those who asked about watching the boy's clean and telling them what they missed LOL!! I was also telling them how to go about getting things sorted so putting it away would be easier. I think they just see the mess and feel overwhelmed so I was telling them to do one section at a time and one toy group at a time. Like their Lego's they have different kinds and I showed them how to sort what goes to what and it made it a lot easier for them. I don't think they really understood that before.

From all the cleaning and from doing my exercising everyday I feel so sore. My whole body feels like one sore muscle LOL. I still have more to clean but I am taking it one day at a time so I don't over due myself (all though with how my muscles feel maybe I have over done it a little LOL).

Tomorrow I think I am going to start in the living room and bathroom (our bathroom is very small so it won't take much to do :) ). Mostly I just need to sort the 2 small bookcases I have, my desk (the tops have become catch-alls ugh) and dust really well LOL. Then Sunday I might take a break and maybe Monday (if I don't decide to do it Sunday) I will start in the kitchen. Ugh I don't really want to do the kitchen LOL. It's just so hard to keep that room clean because it's also where our front door is. You all have seen pics of the gravel driveway we share with our neighbors so it gets really dusty in the hot weather and really muddy when it rains. So all that comes right in the door. So keeping the floor clean is a challenge (even with everyone taking their shoes off before coming in). Add to that all the dust that comes in when we have the door open because we don't have air conditioning (we have a window unit in our room that cools both our room and the boy's room but a window unit won't work in the living room and kitchen area). All that just to say I really don't want to do the kitchen LOL. I will eventually though. Let's just see how long it stays clean. Any bets? LOL J/K. I hope everyone is having a good day!
