When we first moved into our new house, it was a mess.  We weren’t finished with the remodel and we hadn’t unpacked much.  Since then, we’ve made a lot of progress.  My goal has been to keep our home clean.  Isn’t that always the goal?  I’ve tried my best to find a place for everything.  This process is a long one.  There is still a bunch of stuff in our messy garage and our closet downstairs is also a bit of a mess.  Besides those things (and a couple of others) I have felt like we have kept the house pretty organized.  In fact, London’s room stayed cleaner for a longer period of time than it ever has.  But in the last week, I haven’t been very on top of things.  Other things have kept me busy, not giving me the time I need to keep my home organized.  As it got worse, I had less and less motivation to clean it because it seemed like such a huge job.  Today I had the time (not really the energy) and the endorphins from my run this morning, that I got to work.  I started with London’s room and moved on from there.  We got rid of some toys and consolidated the rest.  I was afraid to tackle the kitchen, but once I got started, it wasn’t as bad as it seemed.  Now I feel so much better!  Sure, I’m not finished cleaning the whole place yet, but having clean carpets and a clean kitchen sure make a difference.  Hopefully I can keep it up better this week.
