Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

I have finally started Twittering.  

Like alot of bloggers, I don't have the time to post an entry every day, so I decided to join Twitter and I love it!  

I can hop on my cell phone or computer and post a tiny tid-bit of what I'm doing.  It's fabulous.  

Scroll down my sidebar until you find my twitters.  Underneath the updates you can click a link to follow me or you can just read them here.  It's up to you.

I'm back to Spring cleaning.  Wednesday night didn't go as planned, nor did Thursday day or evening, but I have a goal to finish several rooms today.

*Master Bedroom &  Bath

*Hallway

*Coat Closet

*Front Room

*Main Bathroom

*Kitchen

I should be able to get all of those rooms done today if I can just stay off the computer.

We have Casey's play tonight and then Rob will take the older boys to Spring Fling (a lock-in at a rec center).  I will be home with Caleb since Chloe will stay the night again at Gamma's. 

After dance tomorrow morning, Chloe will need my help doing her bedroom (she's living it up at Gamma's house. Lucky girl!) and if everything I hope to get done today actually gets done, I can head out to the garage and straighten up the left over's out there.  

I'm so excited at how much I am simplifying everything.  It's a great feeling.  

Spring Cleaning

Sorry I don't have pictures for this post.  I'll post some another day.  Promise.

Last week, for all of our Leprechaun stuff, we experienced 65-74 degree sunny days.  After several months of snow and cold sunny days, I had this fantabulous idea where I would take a week off of work and Spring clean my entire house. 

One thing you should know about me is that I try not to start something without making a list.  The list keeps me on track and helps me feel like I'm accomplishing something when I get to check off a little box.  If I wasn't too cheap to buy little gold stars, I would.  

On Monday morning I woke up to what felt and looked like the middle of winter.  I knew I would wake up to snow, but I figured it would be minor.  Not so.  It was a blizzard.  Hmmph!!  A far cry from last week's balmy 70 degrees, but no amount of snow was going to ruin my motivation.  I pulled out my lists, my new Method cleaning supplies and got to work.  

I decided to start on my basement since that is where the laundry room is and fifteen plus loads of dirty laundry waiting to be washed. 

Monday:

*Washed all the basement walls & baseboards

*Moved furniture around

*Vacuumed

*Finished several loads of laundry, fold/hang, put away

*Deep cleaned bathroom, shower.

*Mopped floors

*Washed stair walls, baseboards & handrail

*vacummed stairs

*Directed the twins with their room (they washed walls, baseboards, cleaned out drawers, dusted and vacuumed)

Tuesday:

*Rob took a personal day to help get the worst room in the house organized. Muscleman!!

*We went to Starbuck's for coffee, registered the twins in High School and went to Great Harvest Bread Co. to pick up a loaf and get a free loaf.  YUM!

*Rob and I moved everything out of the craft/office room.  

*Decided we needed to buy a storage unit from IKEA

*Went to IKEA to buy the unit and a table top desk that attaches to it.

*Went to Sweet Tomatoes for lunch

*Came home to put it together

* I washed the walls and baseboards in the room

*Had the boys bring up a bookcase from the basement

*Had the boys bring in all the heavy plastic tubs full of books from the garage

*Organized books

*Went through the many boxes that were once in the craft/office room.

*Did more laundry

*I went to sleep very easily.  I think I even fell asleep before Rob did!  

Wednesday:

*Made my younger two Cinnamon Burst french toast with the GHB we bought yeserday.

*My back is hurting today.  It feels tight and now that the boys are home they can walk on me.  

*Currently I have 1 more load of laundry (whites) to wash and 3 more to dry.

*Finished sorting DVD's and VCR tapes

*Mopped the dance floor, washed the dance room walls & baseboards.

*Went to Panda for lunch 

*Organized all the little stuff in the basement.  

*Simplifying!!!!!!!!!!  

*Went through more boxes from the craft/office room

*I need to take the boys to youth when the elementary kids get home from school.

*I might stop at IKEA to pick up 2 boxes.  I got an idea from the STORAGE magazine I was thumbing through last night. 

Currently we are organizing all the big boxes into little boxes. 

*Bathroom articles

*Office supplies

*To be filed

*Irish Dance

*Tools

Once we finish all of that it will be easy to take the box where it needs to go and begin organizing it from there.  

Later this evening I will be finishing up the craft/office room and hopefully clean the bathroom and maybe the front room (where I am sitting right now).  

Thursday the kids have half day off school, so I am going to start bright and early with the kitchen.  It should go pretty fast because I just cleaned it a few weeks ago (even the fridge).  I'll have to pull it out to sweep and mop behind it, but it's been done twice already since August 2008.  Easy-peasy!!  I'll let the oven self clean while I empty all the drawers onto the *covered* kitchen table and organize from there.  The pantry was cleaned out a few weeks ago, too, but I'll go back over it.   Once I'm done with the kitchen I will finish the front room and move on to the Master Bedroom and closet.  If you've been reading my blog for any amount of time you'll remember that I just cleaned and organized this bedroom & closet not too long ago.  Again...this will be Easy-Peasy!!  

To Be Continued.......
