Up and running

I realized that tomorrow will be a busy day at my practicum site and I will not be home most of the day to start tackling my projects.  I made a HUGE list of all of the cleaning/organizing that I would like to get done.  I also want to freshen things up decor wise but I plan on doing everything cheap/free.  I really need to look at what I have and try to rework it.  Today I did check somethings off of my list.  I worked on picking up the garage for a little while while the kiddos played outside.  During Smash (my new favorite show!) I cleaned the fireplace and mantle and cleaned our leather chair.  It felt nice to accomplish something.  Today was a productive day!

The plan for tomorrow:

1. After coffee, before leaving for practicum I am going to do a very quick clean and organizing of our bathroom cabinet.
2. Then I am going to hop in the shower and clean the shower walls, bath and doors.  I figure this will kill three birds with one stone...shower, workout and clean! Score!!!
3. In the evening once the kids are in bed I will pick something else to tackle.  I'm still not sure what.  If I am not totally spent from my day at practicum then I may start working on the kids room.  It truly is a HOT MESS!!! Ugh!! Its amazing how quickly two boys can destroy a room! If I am too tired I will probably just organize the coat closet. 

I am excited about this and I think I have my sister on board too.  My niece's birthday is in a few weeks so she is motivated to get things clean and in order for the party.  I love having a clean and organized home. I started feeling very overwhelmed when I was making my lists but I kept reminding myself that alot of things on the list will only take minutes and I have plenty of time.  I am anticipating that once I am done I will have to come up with a plan to maintain my newly clean and organized house.  It will probably just become an endless cycle and that is just fine with me!! If my house can stay clean and I can get a good workout I will be very happy!
