Spring Cleaning!

I guess you could say the cleaning bug has bitten me!!! I am just in the mood to clean and get rid of stuff...which is not very normal for me because I am a pack rat! I really do think that I am becoming more tidy with age, which I am sure pleases my mother and sister a lot! So these are a few tasks I have accomplished recently..I finally finished going through and organizing ALL of the boys clothes, shoes, hats, and toys!! You have no idea how much clothing can pile up when you nanny for triplets, and it is all shoved into a room and nothing is ever given away! Oh my..I have been working on this for a long time. But each time I would begin to make progress, I would have to put it all away since I was organizing it in the game room. So a few weeks ago, I worked very hard and got it all done. And let me tell you, it feels GREAT! So now I am going to venture to do Alyssa's stuff..and that girl has a lot of stuff! So we shall see how it goes. 

Last week I went through my clothes and got rid of two bags full. I feel like I should make myself do it again and get rid of even more. I also finally went through all my mail, organized it and threw away all the junk mail. I finally put all my clean laundry away. Which in it's self feels like a huge accomplishment seeing as after I do laundry it will sit in nicely folded piles  on the couch that is in my room. That couch is a curse!!! This week it is my goal to put all clothing away before I go to bed each night, I really need to get into that habbit! 

Yesterday at work I organized all of the coloring stuff. And oh my gosh, there were soooo many coloring books....holy cow. I recycled a ton of those and I am pretty sure there are still it least 15. I got rid of all of the papers that Little Miss has colored on and just silly stuff that has been kept around. So now it is beautifully organized and I know it won't stay that way for long- but it will be nice for a while. 

And it does not stop there...oh no! Last night I went to a store in Tigard and got some little organizers for my bathroom drawer. And I also got some for the drawer that my lovely cousins keep all their hair things in. So I came home and cleaned out my bathroom drawer and it looks great! I got the perfect amount of little organizers and it is so nice when I go to get something, I don't have to dig for it! I also organized the girls drawer and I hope they noticed and are grateful! If not, that is ok. I know it was done and that makes me happy!! 

Thursday is my day off and I plan to be a cleaning maniac!! So we will see how it goes!! Sorry you all just had to sit here and read through my blogging about cleaning. But it feels good to get these things done, so I thought I would share!
