My Home Before and After The Deep Clean

Like I said last week I was busy cleaning because we had an appraiser coming to the house. I am actually very proud of how well the house came together. Before I did the "deep clean" it was a cluster f#%k. Now it looks a lot better, especially since none of our furniture matches. I had to buy hangers because we didn't have enough to hang all of our clothes, and I had to throw a lot of shit out, but I do feel a lot better in my house now. Before I cleaned there was no specific place for things, now everything has a place and I am sooooo relieved. :D


So without further ado here are the before and after pics;In the kitchen I put away all the stuff, did the dishes, threw away everything that was even close to expiration, and scrubbed hell out of every surface.

I moved the dining room table and put an area rug under it, and cleaned the living room.




I hung all those dang clothes washed the sheets and organized all the crap.





I hung up all the awards and filed all the paperwork, like we should have done eons ago.

I reorganized the whole bathroom and linen closet. I actually know where to find everything now without looking for and hour.

I put all the bath toys in a mesh bag and reclaimed my bathtub after scrubbing it forever.
My bathroom looks so much better.

So that's whre I've been hiding, in my house away from the computer, cleaning.... and doing laundry.... oh what fun!

My House is a Mess

We are refinancing the house so I am busting my ass trying to get it clean. An appraiser is coming tomorrow and I am in a rush trying to clean the house and do all the little handy-man or shall I say handy-woman work. I am going to post before and after pics when I get done. Hope you all are doing well. I will be back soon!

To-Do-List Tuesday Damn it it's Wednesday

I think I will start a To-Do-List Tuesday on Wednesday because this week it is my Tuesday. Have I lost you yet? My oldest daughter didn't go to school on Monday so it was really our Sunday, so to speak. Okay so maybe I really thought it was Tuesday for a minute, but I'm not changing the name! I have a million things I have to do and when I write a list I seem to loose it.

So here we go...

1. Enter in Coke Rewards Codes *I am tired of looking at the bottle caps on the kitchen counter *

2. Enter in the Pamper Rewards Codes *Because the box I store them in is overloaded and I can redeem them at the end of the month.*

3. Wash sheets, they smell like sweat.

4. Vacuum floor *some mysterious object keeps leaving small silver sparkles all over the place.*

5. Remind Lee to take the 13th off work for an interview

6. Write out bills and actually stick them in the mail before noon

7. Go to grocery *Creamer, milk, breakfast snacks, oatmeal, paper towels*

8. Download pictures from camera

9. Laundry *My nemesis because it never ends*

Weekly Goals
Clean Out Closet
Clean out corner in bedroom
Strip kitchen and dining room floor
Tighten all door knobs
Replace all blown bulbs
Dye my hair brown

I like brown

Things need to be done

Good morning! I woke this morning to a grouchy husband and a baby that needed to be feed. He made the bottle, I fed the baby. He finishes getting ready for work and leaves. Now I look around the house and see just how much needs to be done today.

Clean Living Room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, vacuum, sweep, mop, and iron.

I loathe ironing, in fact I loathe all aspects of laundry. It must be done though, so I guess I will do it. My husband complains that he has no clean clothes for work; they are hanging up in the closet. He says his underwear is not clean; it's in the laundry basket folded and ready to put away. He tells me to iron today and to finish the laundry. What the fuck do I look like? Your maid?

While talking on the phone he says "If I were home all the time I'd keep the house spotless." Wait a minute!?!?! What the fuck was that If.... If...If....if is a big word. When I had surgery earlier this year, he took a week off work to "help" and nothing was done. He claims nothing was done because he was trying to spend time with the kids and tend to me. I did nothing but lay in bed that whole week and take pain pills. I didn't ask him for a damn thing so he wasn't tending to me. Yes he played with the kids, cooked a couple times, did dishes, and laundry. I do all of that on a daily basis plus clean, educate, discipline, baths, iron, sweep, mop, vacuum, balance the check book, and run a business out of the house. If...pfft!!! I could "if" all day and still nothing gets done. Look fucktard, don't put so much on me I've got a lot going on.

Everyday you come home and the kids are clean happy and fed. Dinner is ready and waiting on you, your clothes are clean, but not always ironed and put away, (usually just laid flatly out ready to iron or put away). Dishes are done, and you are asked to do nothing except eat and kiss your kids goodnight. Still you want to bitch about what else needs to be done. Look... there are men out there that would kill to be in your shoes, so quit bitching about what else needs to be done.
