Took the boys by the hand today and we cleaned out and re-arranged their pig-pen (I mean room...which they share and collects everything!). We moved furniture and cleaned behind things...straightened out the bookshelves and vacuumed everywhere, just to find that we are still not done after three hours, after which I came crawling out of their room exhausted and with a sore back!
I still need to dive into their toy box and under their bed and start chucking toys out the door. I'm going to wait though until school starts and the boys won't know what they're losing. Do you all have that problem?...You start cleaning and they see a toy they haven't played with in months or years, but when you get ready to chuck it, it's their favorite toy ever?
The question I keep asking myself is "Why did you wait until August to clean their room and soon my own, when I've had all summer to do it?" Well I worked on the house today, tomorrow it's meetings...MOMS business meeting in the morning and Pack Leader's Mtg. tomorrow night. In between I need to start chucking things out from under my bed...(I have a friend coming over on Thursday to re-arrange my room!), but I'm not looking forward to more back breaking work!

Sounds like you were so productive!
ReplyDeleteI have been so busy this summer.... what, with all the procrastinating and all.... ;-) I do my best to ignore the piles of dishes and laundry. **sigh** It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.
