Week 1 of Spring Cleaning happened during the week of Spring Break. I can honestly tell you that I did not clean as much as I would have liked. I did, however, tackle the junk drawer.
Remember this:
Now it looks like this:
Massive improvement! I even had a talk with my main drawer-messer-upper and told him exactly where things were. I was amazed at how many loose batteries we had in there. Whether they work or not is a completely different story. I even sharpened all the pencils! {After I found the sharpeners, of course.} I’m hoping this stays clean for longer than a week.
In the meantime, I finally got my big boy’s winter clothes stored in a bin and took out ALL the holey jeans…all 7 pairs! SEVEN pairs of jeans with holes in the right knee!?! When I ask him what he is doing on that knee, he doesn’t know. Suuuuuurrre you don’t, Honey.
My littlest man still has clothes all over his room. Not his fault…all mine. I was going through all his itty bitty summer clothes and sent them off to my nephew in Chicago. {They are itty bitty compared to what he’s in now.} Now I just have to purge the sizes that my nephew won’t fit into. I’m sure I can find someone with a baby boy around here that can use them.
I was able to fill 2 garbage bags full of clothes that do not fit me. I also discovered some clothes that now fit me, thanks to bodyrock.tv! After the January challenge where I worked out for a month, I kept going. I figured why waste what I accomplished in 4 weeks! I can actually feel my abs. I thought I had lost them forever after 3 c-sections!
There you have it! I’m moving a little slow and not every day, but at least there is some progress. A little is better than nothing, right?!?
You should check out how Christie did with her attic! She documented quite a bit {and got a lot more accomplished than my piddly little drawer}. Plus the pictures are hysterical!
Onto week 2…
You go girl! I need pointers on how to let go of the clothes….BOOO HOOO HOOO!!!!! :o(

Clothes are hard at first. I just took 1 bin and filled it with the clothes that meant the most to me. I figured I would just give in and let myself keep some so that it wouldn’t be so hard to let the others go. 😉
