Today was spent cleaning. A clean sweep, if you will, through the house. The upstairs was completely overhauled, and I took pictures because I knew it wouldn't last long. What is not pictured: the six loads of laundry I managed to stay on top of - wash, dry, fold, AND put away - while doing everything else listed.

Jillian and Karigan's room.

Laundry, laundry, laundry, and even more laundry needed to be put away - about two weeks worth. Laundry seems to be a theme in our house - there is always a load to do, always. I don't mind laundry, per say, I can wash, dry, and fold but when it comes to putting it away - oh the effort it takes!

Brendan's room is kinda, sorta what started the mad dash at cleaning. He had been doing an exceptional job of keeping his room clean. Unfortunately, his efforts came toppling over (out of the closet, that is) at 1 AM yesterday morning. So it was time to start over. Everything was reorganized and put in its place.

The full bathrooms - the half will have to wait until tomorrow. And boy, could I have given Mike Rowe (of Dirty Jobs fame) a run for his money. I finally managed to clean out the slow goin' sink drain in the kid's bathroom. Let. me. tell. you. It was almost more than I could stomach. Brendan did gag - sissy ;)

And then the kitchen. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the kitchen before it was all dirty again - trust me, it doesn't take long. So this is not my kitchen, but boy it does look dreamy. Speaking of dreams - right now our bed looks better than ever! Good night.
