Spring officially starts on Friday. My weather app has a big, fat snowflake next to Saturday, so I thought I'd take a peek at AccuWeather... they agree.
"Weather" or not Spring is going to cooperate, my Spring cleaning itch has hit with full force. This is a tad surprising for me, because I'm currently battling a miserable cold. My head is stuffed and pounding, my body is begging for a day of nothing but water and rest, but my nerves and brain are screaming to take a bulldozer to each room in a seemingly never ending effort to purge and simplify.
There is no middle ground here.
I started cleaning today.
I have it all mapped out, too. Starting with the room furthest from the ultimate goal (the car for donations or the trash), at a pace of one room every one or two days, this house will see the end of clutter by the end of next week, so help me!
Coming at you as I progress will be before and after pictures. I have to know that I had it all together at one point, right?
I'm also going to take notes of all improvements that need to be made as I go. I can say, off the top of my head, that all baseboards and doors need repainting, and the wall over my bed needs patching, thanks to a certain toddler who stabbed it with a pencil because he was bored. Ugh.
Maybe I should just lie down with a big glass of water.
Dear girl, I just finished better than a week of doing just that, not from choice mind but still, and I can say that it won't improve your health physically but mentally...you will rock. Prayers going out to you for stamina.
