Cleaning and Organization - Page 11

lindyhop · 04-04-2009, 10:58 AM

Sometimes I sneak cleaning in so I barely notice what I'm doing. For example this morning I noticed some dust up near the ceiling when I was getting dressed so I got out the duster and took care of that and dusted over the door and along the wall above the closets. All that in less than a minute but it was progress.

Instead of thinking I have to dust the whole room sometime and good lord how long will that take, I grab the duster and do the lamp as soon as I notice it. And then I do the shelf the lamp is on and then I stop.

Of course I notice how dirty the mini blinds are every day and I just keep on moving...

Joe and I have a housekeeper come in every other Thursday. It's not that I can't clean, Lord knows I was my mother's housekeeper, I just hate the losing battle that is cleaning up after someone else. Clutter, however, is another thing altogether. Maria doesn't disappear clutter. As for the half hour a day thing, I already feel like I do that just to get the kitchen and bathroom up to where I can stand to use them in the morning.

Hey there, remember me? The Cleaning and Organization thread? Remember all that resolve you had, three weeks ago?

Yeah, April was tough. Yosemite and Coachella and MouseAdventure. But now it's over. There are more roadblocks in May, of course, but there are always going to be some.

I washed some dishes tonight. Yay for me.

I cleaned up a pile of clutter next to and on my desk

I straightened things up in preparation for my house cleaner coming tomorrow.

Better start cleaning your house for the LoT invasion!

Oh.

Um, we DO have a LAPADIGI to make sure you all don't come at once, don't we? huh?

Stoat, Stoat !! Did we fold the ends of the toilet roll before we left? And did we hide the pile of washing-up under the tea-towel? We may have guests coming.

I've been working on cleaning my kitchen cupboard doors and also the insides. I've gotten three shelves wiped down and re-organized.
