Ever feel like your house is disgusting, and you would be better off just moving and starting fresh? Or, as the next best thing, wouldn't it be a great help if you could just take out everything you own and then just put back the stuff you want to keep?
We did that one.
Mostly, anyway. It was really hard work. First, I did the kids' bathroom, where some things living under the sink were actually lotions, etc. that I got at GRANT'S BABY SHOWER. I think we're finally old enough to take the plastic puppy that keeps baby children from conking their little heads on the faucet, too. The entire bathroom was emptied, down to the wall art and shower curtain, and then I put it back and organized it. Josh took everything out of our bathroom, and I put back the medicines, and my stuff. He put back his own stuff. LOTS to throw away, there, in the way of expired sunscreen, etc. We also did the kitchen. The kitchen took most of the day. We re-did the pots and pans, the pantry, the spice cabinet - EVERYTHING. We moved some stuff that I don't use much (my wok, for instance) downstairs, and then there was enough room for the crock pot. Stuff like that. It was a liberating, exhausting experience, and we are still dealing with the aftermath. (That would be a bunch of random stuff sitting out because it needs to be thrown away and stuff.)
Grr! I am so tough!
Another thing we accomplished was taking the kids' little table downstairs, putting the leaf in our crappy kitchen table, and moving it around. Our "dining room" looks all grown up now.
Today, I am going to wash the sheets, change the comforter to the winter one, and do the actual cleaning part. (The only room that got "cleaned" yesterday was the bathroom, even though I did clean lots of drawers and cabinets.) Maybe by tonight, my house won't gross me out so much.
I also have some news! I found a song that I used to hear on the radio in the middle of the night (taking Josh to work when we only had one car) in Yuma, but didn't know A> The title, B> The performer, C> The gender of the singer, D> Enough Spanish to guess at significant lyrics. I did have a pretty good guess that the song was something extra angsty from the 80's. Wanna know what it is? It's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLStpR1pr7Y. I feel pretty awesome for having located it at last. Isn't it kinda melodramatically awesome? ^_^ Well, they used to only play it at 4 a.m. in Yuma.
Can't taiko today, because Josh is leaving in a minute, so I'm going to watch Kokoro no Koe over and over. That's practice, right?
Love you guys!
