Since I started working, I have had a running list of odds and ends that need to be addressed. It usually involves a lot of stops for one little thing. By the time I get to Saturdays I don't want to do anything except play with the kids, go OUT to eat, and watch movies with Ben. My itinerary has little to do with cleaning, or other necessary chores. Unfortunately, I have come to a personal breaking point. I am going to have to get this stuff done this weekend. Easter is coming up, Ben will be out of town for what seems like an eternity, and I am not going to have the time or the energy to bring four uninterested children along for that ride.
That being said, I also have to resign myself to spending a little money on organizational/cleaning supplies. It has been a long time since Ben and I have been able to be frivolous with money and now that we have "extra" in the bank I don't want to give it to anyone. Right now we're putting a lot away for our emergency and mini van funds. It's hard for me to buy decorative stuff for the house. It's hard for me to spend $40 on a triple laundry sorter with a hanging rack. But, I have to get these things in order to have an orderly house. The house is not dirty, don't fret. It's just cluttered....everywhere. Cabinets, closets, drawers, pantry, it all needs a good spring cleaning. I want our house to feel like a home rather than just a place we go to after school and work.
First, I have to get through Friday....
