July 23, 2009

Today was a productive day for us. When I woke up this morning I actually felt like getting Caleb's room completely cleaned. I've been thinking about doing this all summer and have just been putting it off, but haven't done it. Since I actually felt like it today we did it.

I started out the morning changing the sheets on my bed and getting laundry started. Michaela and Caleb started emptying his room while I was doing that. This lasted until lunch time. We took about an hour break at lunch time and then got back to work.

Once the kids had the room pretty much cleaned out, I moved furniture and vacuumed really good in Caleb's room. Then came the tedious part, going through all the stuff. This of course took the rest of the day. We were not finished by supper time, so we stopped for about an hour or so for supper.

After supper I decided to finish up myself. I was in Caleb's room working until almost 8:00 p.m., but it's finished. Actually the closet needs to be tidied, but that's not a big deal. It's so nice to walk past Caleb's room and not cringe. It looks SO MUCH better. I like the furniture the way it is better now, too. Now, I just have to get to the point where I feel like doing Michaela's room. Her room is harder because she has more stuff, even though she keeps her room neater than Caleb keeps his.
