fairfarmhand Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 My entire family and my dh's entire family are coming to my house for a bbq on Friday. I am using that as an incentive to get my whole house cleaned. Today, I am working in the bonus room. Just got last year's schoolbooks sorted and stored. Now I am working on decluttering the rest of the room. Later I will move on to at least one of my kids' bedrooms. I already sorted the kitchen and living room and the laundry room. Been dreading this for awhile, but stay out of my way. I am plowing through this like a freight train. My kids are hiding from me because I might drag them into cleaning. That suits me fine.

godsaggie Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Just reading your post helps me to be a little more motivated. I have a lot that I need to do around my house but have no desire to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 I need your energy. I turned on my favorite radio program and I'm listening to a Bible teacher talk. So it's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momteel Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The only way that I get anything done in cleaning up is to have people over.... otherwise I just get used to the clutter and I don't see it anymore until I am tired and it depresses me. So having a b-b-q is the best idea!!! laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I did that last week while my kids were at camp. It feels so good to have everything clean and organized. It keeps me from shopping too, because I do not want to find places for new things lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 one kids' bedroom is DONE! At least it will be once the bedding comes out of the wash. Next is the living room and the other kids' bedroom/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Two kid's bedrooms cleaned and organized. So, today, I am onto normal cleaning.... Have to sweep and mop the kitchen. Vacuum the whole house, clean baseboards, couches and vacuum stairs. And I need to get started cooking for tomorrow's cookout. A trip to the grocery store must be squeezed in there somehow. Better get busy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 bribed the kids with ice cream... "When we get these chores done we can all have some ice cream..." So now all the couches are vacuumed, and the stairs. The boy's train set is put away and the chicken cage has been cleaned. The kids' bathroom is cleaned too. Next, another round of dishes, working on the vacuum so I can vacuum later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
