The end of spring cleaning week....finally!

As much as I wanted to quit after the painting debacle, I pressed forward. With a little less enthusiasm and optimism, I finished spring cleaning week. I did not cross everything off my list. Cleaning the attic and scrubbing the oven turned into impossible feats. However, I did cross off enough to feel like I accomplished something big. I feel good. I feel organized. I feel clean. I have learned that for me, spring cleaning is about getting ready for the new season not simply by cleaning the house but by freshening up the house. Some paint, a new picture, a subtle change of the furniture arrangements has made a big difference.


Furthermore, I made it through spring cleaning week with only a few mild fits and a couple (undeserved) complaints tossed my husband's way. So, all in all, I think I did pretty well....for an amateur. Now, to get some ice cream.....
