    Default Weekend flinging

    Well not really "flinging", but I had Alexandra's playpen filled with toys here in the computer room. It has just been sitting here as a toy box for months. We emptied it out and put it in the attic.

    We're cleaning carpets today too. We have the diningroom done and are starting the livingroom. It looks so much better already.

    Great job Sara.

    Yesterday I did 9 loads of laundry. All put away too. I swept and cleaned our entryway and vacumned and dusted the living room. I even cleaned the ceiling fan in the living room and cleaned off the dining room table.

    I decluttered a paper grocery bag full of stuff to put in my yard sale. I also cleaned out the camera drawer. No need for a black and white only camera that takes 126 film cartridges anymore. Why do I keep this stuff? Getting rid of junk is so cleansing.

    I'm so far behind I have a 2 page list of things to do in each room. Not sure what I'll get to today but I took some before pics of the computer room so when I get it cleaned up I can show you all what a mess it was. Maybe I better work on it today as it is really bothering me.

    Way to go! Isn't it interesting how these things that are totally made for another purpose wind up holding our clutter? I have the same situations sometimes.

    Great job! You know, I've been so tempted to by another used playpen and turn it upside down to corral my cats in. Those little buggers have been hauling socks and all kinds of little things all over the house. You would not believe all of their "goodies" that I found under the couch yesterday.
