So, lets just say my laundry room was in a pretty bad state. I won't go into detail because I am very embarassed to say what exactly I had put off doing and cleaning. The good news is that it didn't take long to organize a few things, scrub the floor, and dust. The nice thing is, is now when we walk in from the garage to the house we won't be stepping on or around anything anymore. I have been meaning to get to that for awhile now but unfortunately, other things had been calling my name this week.
I had also needed to clean and organize my master bedroom. For some reason, I have a horrible time keeping it together in our room. I think in part its my "haven". The one place I get to consider my "resting" area. So, cleaning my "resting" area isn't ever ideal. It wasn't gross or had anything detestable in there - other than dust. Which I took care of yesterday. But when you don't put something away right after your done with it, things get a little disorganized. I was writing my brother an e-mail today stating how I wish and dream of a celebrity organizer to come to my house and show me how to store and organize our "stuff" in a way that is asthetically pleasing and "logically" placed. When we go to San Diego I absolutely adore going to the Container Store. If you have never been you need to go to their website immediately. They own a label named ELFA that is a storage and organized base for every room in your home. Sean actually gave in when we went there and had an open mind. He spent over an hour checking out the design area for garages and got some great stuff to help keep "part" of our garage organized. That also is a work in progress. :) I think the next time we get a chance to go to San Diego I am going to have to plan just a whole afternoon of me going there to talk to a design expert on closet, pantry and children's play room and closets so that I can be better prepared for when we move to another house. That is the worst thing sometimes about being a military spouse. Until we retire we are going to be "temporarily" living everywhere. So, we can't truly "invest" permanently in certain things because its just not realistic to be able to bring that everywhere you go or for it to stay in good condition when you install and un-install this specific equipment.
I am thankful that I was able to get the kitchen cleaned, supper prepared, my laundry room cleaned/organized, and now I am done typing so I press on and hit my closet.
In all honesty, I wouldn't mind taking a whole day to just clean and organize. No interruptions, just like an 8/9 hour work day that I used to do before kids. Maybe sometime soon in the future, I can somehow schedule this to make it happen so I can make life a lot more manageable and organized for our family.
Happy Friday everyone! Hope you have a great weekend!
