Ok, kids: it's official! I finally started cleaning my room this weekend. And not just your momma's typical surface clean, either. I'm talking about the nitty-gritty under the bed, in the drawers, closet shelves deep clean! And yet, it's not even near done!
The saying "it has to get worse before it gets better" has never been more true! I can't even sleep in my bed tonight it is so covered with odds and ends. But, like I said, it is a start.
I have tackled my closet, some drawers and under my bed, and have taken out one full box for Good Will, one full box for Platos Closet, another big box of clothes to send to the lake and beach, and 4 bags of trash and recycling. I can honestly say, you can't even tell. HOW IN THE WORLD COULD THAT MUCH STUFF FIT INTO ONE ROOM!?!?!
Next step: cleaning my desk and top of my dresser... right after I organize my college stuff sill in the plastic tubs in the middle of my floor. Oh, and did I mention the 18 years worth of Wizard of Oz collection, or the hundreds of cassettes and CDs consuming random drawers and counter space? Wait! Maybe I should start with the jewelery, expensive and costume alike spread across my dressers. No, no, how about the mounds of stuffed animals, or maybe the photos on every inch of my walls and desk.
Yes, I still have A LONG way to go. But, I can proudly say my efforts yesterday and today (about 7 hours worth) gave me the motivation to keep on trucking, and get the job done!
So... after starting with a positive, let's talk about a huge fail: I did not get a chance to work out today, but I did eat my exhaustion from cleaning in the WONDERFUL turkey burger and even yummy berry cobbler we baked tonight. Whew, when are things going to become easy and just start feeling more simple?
