Spring Cleaning- Oh, I mean, Spring Break is Upon Us Again!

Natalie and Rylie played while I worked upstairs. A win-win situation for all of us!

I LOVE this time of year almost as much as my children dread it. I always get a little extra energy to redo the parts of the house that bug me the most. For the last several months it has been in my mind to reorganize my closet and bathroom. This came as a big relief for the kids... until they found out that I expected them to pull the weeds in the back yard. Some of them were as big as regular bushes! Drew followed the girls around and followed me around throughout the day.
As for my closet and bathroom, though, I redo those things on my own. (Kent's office is on my list, but with the recent acquisition of our new bed our old king size bed got moved to his office, and I can't do anything now!) It always looks worse before it looks better. Currently my bathroom is a maze through which I have to carefully maneuver. Everything is out from under Kent's sink, tons of stuff is out from our closet, and after my lunch break I have to get everything out from under my sink. I hope no one comes in while I'm working! Here's a little bit of the mess after I started decluttering.
I have found a lot of Kent's clothes that lost their hangers somehow. I also found various computer and electronic cables and components. I have vacuumed shelves and floors, and decided that since we no longer have a cassette player that I can throw away the cassette tapes. I reorganized all the towels and sheets again. It seems that I am forever doing those things only to have them undone within a matter of days. It's a good thing I enjoy organizing! Did I mention I would love to be a professional organizer? Dream job! I should take a picture of what it looks like, but I'm afraid what people would think. Ah, nice and organized now. I'm still trying to get Kent to work in his office to get it all cleaned.
