Well, yesterday I set the timer, put on Pandora (my good friend these days-especially when cleaning), and went to work on my master bathroom. I was happy to get through 90% of it. The only thing left would be a deep clean on the tub and go through the drawers. I was able to clean off the counter top and the toilet, go through the cabinet, and wash the mirror and window. Nice to get a room done and see progress.

Foyer
On Friday, March 2nd, I worked on my foyer. It turned out good. I (Dustin) added another hook and so now all 3 kids have their own for their jackets and bags. I think this is really going to help out, just too many bags and jackets for 2 hooks.
I also briefly went through the shoes and pulled out those that do not fit anymore. Still would like to do more, but we shall see. 🙂

March 1st started it off with cleaning surfaces and counter tops. I have to admit, I did not get into this one. I worked a little bit, but mainly just with each room I work on. It is getting better though.
Friday, March 2nd, I worked on my foyer. It turned out good. I (Dustin) added another hook and so now all 3 kids have their own for their jackets and bags. I think this is really going to help out. Also briefly went through the shoes and pulled out those that do not fit anymore.
I took the weekend off to rest from the schedule, but still worked. Last night we worked in the living room, dining room, and kitchen…we have bible study tonight, and schedule or not, those have to be done.
Today is the laundry room. I worked a few minutes but mainly was working in the family room, finishing up the laundry.
Busy, tired, but looking forward to a CLEAN house. I’m even going to reward myself this year – as if a clean house wasn’t reward enough…going to get my carpets professionally cleaned in April. Hey, the rooms will be clean and accessible. 🙂
I will post pictures soon.
