I once heard that your bedroom can be a reflection of your life. If that is the case then I am definitely in trouble. Day 11 included a day of cleaning and organizing my bedroom.
I walked around the house today picking up toys, tiding up things and realized something very strange. My girls rooms are organized, clothing neatly hung, toys in correct bins, but my room, my room looked like a bomb went off. I spend so much time picking up after everyone else, helping the girls with their rooms, I rarely have time to work on my room, my things. I love things organized, it is just the time it takes to get there is utterly painful. I wish I could just snap my finger and BOOM, everything would be put in its place. I love the commercial with Kelly Ripa where she walks around the house and throws things in the air and things magically go on hangers, in drawers, and are put away. Unfortunately in the real world that doesn't happen and organizing can take you alllllllll stinking day.
So..... that is what I did today, I completely reorganized my room and closet and made it soooooooo clean you could have taken a white hankie to it and not found an ounce of dust. I hear people talk about how cleaning is therapy, how they even enjoy it at times. Well, I am not one of those people. I love things clean and tidy but hate the process of it. I can not tell you how many times today I wanted to take a big trash bag and just throw it all away. I swear I was mumbling to myself the entire time, saying things I will not repeat. Once I was finished, it looked so beautiful! I felt like this weight was off my shoulders, and I was happy. All the work today, was worth it.
Note to self:
Do something fun tomorrow, cleaning sucks.
