A Sigh Of Relief

I feel a tad overwhelmed at the moment, but at the same time accomplished. I had been wanting to clean up around the house because it needed to be done, bad. When the house is out of order I feel like a bum. We have two bedrooms that we need to tackle/organize. Both rooms are kinda storage for anything that we don’t want to have in sight. Those rooms aren’t really a problem since we don’t have to “look” at them, lol. The problem rooms were the living room, kitchen, and our bedroom. Caesar and Simba turned the living room into their own play place, the Christmas tree was still up and Simba was having a ball messing up the skirt and trying to get to the ornaments. The tree and other Christmas decor has been stored and the living room got a good vacuuming and steam cleaning. Carpet cleaner is expensive! So after being turned off at $11/bottle, I decided to make my own and I will be writing a tutorial soon. It works! Now to the kitchen. The dishes were piling up, the counter space needed organizing, and the floor needed to be mopped. Done. I just have to scrub the oven with an S.O.S pad, no chemicals involved! Our bedroom was a mess and it was my fault. I had a mess of clothes and pjs on the floor because our closet space is limited. I organized what I could, threw stuff in bins, packed up any clothes that I will never be wearing again and hung up clothes that I can wear now that they fit. I tend to buy things too large and keep them for later. Well now is later. Glad I had a stash.

I forgot to mention that Caesar got a bath, I always try to bathe him when I do a deep cleaning around the house. I tried to trim his hair too since it will be a while since he’ll be groomed. He has to get used to people all over again since he hasn’t been out much since it’s gotten cold. We tried to get him groomed twice over Christmas vacation by my mother’s and he bit at the groomers. We’ll see if he bites at the groomers down here. They are always good with him so I don’t think he will.

Greg’s been writing away on Mommy Daddy Blog. I feel like such a deadbeat since I just come in with my pregnancy updates. I’m working on it! I have tons of reviews to write there. I’m just working on a million other things. Now that the house is clean and FRESH (Airwicks everywhere), I feel much better. I will be updating the theme on Mommy Daddy Blog hopefully tonight, because I’m tired of looking at it. I overdid it with the turquoise *gag*. If you haven’t already, check out my 24th Week Update as well as my review for the SwellyBelly!

Trying to pretend Jayden will be here any day now. That’s my motivation! Plus in March people will start viewing our house to rent. We’ll be moving this summer so it’s best to keep everything in order.

Doing cleaning always leaves me feeling great. I love the way things look when everything is clean afterwards. I am a neat freak.
