I've been home with a sick kid for three days now (gross sick - diarrhea, fart pooping, and puke... so much puke, but all in the toilet at least.. so woo hoo!!), and with all the time, we got a pretty good head start on our Spring Cleaning. The kids were pretty excited to help, from moving the bed mattresses to move all the piled up crap underneath to vacuuming to getting pee stains out of our mattress! But a day after being super productive, we're now... kinda... well, we're stuck! We have more window tracks to take care of, but I'm tired. I'm spent. I don't want to do it anymore! Ugh. How do regularly clean people do it? I think I need to hire someone. I'm all about organizing, but cleaning is a whole other beast for me. Growing up, I vacuumed and did dishes, but that was pretty much the extent of my cleaning responsibilities. In college, housekeeping took care of our bathrooms, so again, I didn't have to do much. I traveled for work so much when I had a roommate post college, that I didn't really make a mess, or clean up. I just kept my own room clean, wiped down my own bathroom, and my super neat freak roommate would always lecture me about clearing the sink. Oops. Most of the time, I just ate out... and the other half of the time, I lived with my parents, so we always had cleaning ladies come too. So... yes, I've been spoiled and really didn't have to deal with cleaning my own space until I got married.
In the time that I should have been wiping down tracks with q-tips and microfiber cloths and moving mud (yes, it's that gross), I have reorganized two spaces, cleared and tidied up two areas, updated our silhouettes, put up photos for a gallery wall, and added photos to empty frames I received for Christmas. Productive, yes... productive procrastination!
So tomorrow... I guess I'll see if I get around to it. Especially since I have four kids home now.. Spring Break... oops. Shoulda woulda coulda.
