How many of us do “spring cleaning” at least once a season?! I try to do one at least every couple of months. Or even more frequent than that! The house gets so dirty and so cluttered, that I just can’t take it anymore, and I HAVE to clean!!! EVERYTHING!!! From top to bottom, left to right, every nook and cranny. Is anyone else like that???? Or is it just me?!
I’m not always the cleanest and most organized person, although I do try to be. But when I start cleaning something, I usually really clean it! I will be in one room for hours. I will be working on cleaning out the fridge and going through everything in it, making sure nothing is expired or molding, and I will be there for 2-3 hours, minimum.
At the moment, our whole house needs to be cleaned. Which isn’t really a house. It’s a single-wide trailer that we rent. We are working to pay some things off so that we can start saving and put a good deposit down on a house. When and where, we are still figuring out. But there are still some things that we are trying to figure out also. We have lived in the trailer for two years now. Tomorrow is actually our second wedding anniversary! We have made it to two years!
I have been meaning to clean, really clean the house since forever. Which I have since the last time. But things just get so messy, so fast! We have baby toys everywhere. Our daughter is in the phase where she takes the toys or whatever she finds, she takes it all out of the bucket, container, or cabinet and just takes it ALL out! So now the floor is covered in baby toys, pots and pans and whatever else she has gotten into! Don’t get me wrong, they can always be put away again, and she is learning. She knows where the trash is, and when she sees something that is trash, she will throw it away. Or I will tell to go throw it in the trash, and she takes it and throws it in the trash. But then, she takes it back out of the trash. We’re working on that part! 🙂
She may try our patience sometimes, but I wouldn’t trade her for anything in the world.
Well, now that I got a little sidetracked from cleaning, I’ll get back to it. 😉
I didn’t always like to clean when I was younger, but like I do now, once I get started cleaning something, it’s hard for me to stop until I get it really clean and re-organized. You will hardly recognize the room or the fridge after I get done! 😉
I also haven’t been able to clean as much as I would like to, lately, because I’m working during the day again. So I won’t get home till 5:30 or 6:00 in the evening. And I’ll be too tired to do anything!
I’ll play with our little girl, and talk to my husband. After we put her to bed, we will sometimes put a TV show on Netflix and watch an episode of something, or sometimes, we will go to bed ourselves. We are pretty tired by the end of the day.
We don’t always have a clean house, but we have a happy house. We love each other and we take care of each other, to the best of our abilities.
This coming Saturday, I am planning on taking the whole day, and while my husband is at work, I am planning on cleaning and re-organizing as much of the house as I can. Starting with our daughter’s room. We kind of use it as a storage area, also. Which I am trying to get better with, but it’s hard when you don’t have much space to begin with. But we will get there. One day.
Everything takes time. And if you will pray with us, we have some things that we are trying to figure out and sort out with life, and what we are going to, to help us with what we would like to do and have in the future. As in, a house, finances and such. We would greatly appreciate it!
Until next time! Thanks for reading!
