Day 57 is so hard to remember that far back. I think JW put Ely down to bed so I cleaned up after dinner.
Day 58 I swept the back door entry.
Day 59 was my most ambitious cleaning day. JW put Ely down to bed so it was my turn to do the dishes and boy, were there dishes! After I left the kitchen sparkling I got my week long wish to mop my floors! I had swept the kitchen almost daily hoping to find the time and strength to mop but kept getting sidetracked. With the kitchen all to myself I finally found the time. I swept and mopped the kitchen, the living room and a sticky patch in Ely's playroom. Once JW got downstairs and saw me he asked if I wanted him to move the couch so I could sweep behind it. I was not even offended. I swept up a big pile of dust and even mopped off some sticky spots. Why in the world would there be sticky spots back there??
Day 60 was another cleaning up the kitchen after dinner day because JW was out, not very interesting…
Today was Day 61 and my cleaning motivation was really suffering. I think I miss my Idiot Cleaning book. I had to return it to the library and my life just hasn’t been the same since. I literally had to ask God for the motivation and energy because I just didn’t have it. This was 4 o clock in the afternoon people! Finally around 6p I got dinner ready for Ely and JW then isolated myself in the playroom. Also know as the bane of my existence. This is why. There are too many toys out of place and no designated place for nearly all the toys. Again I prayed because I am not good at organizing chaos. I can handle putting things back where they go but NOT deciding where they should go.
Notice the baby dolls being put to bed on the floor. How sad!
I got this great toy storage shelf thing a long time ago but as you can I have never figured out how to store toys in it! It is a disaster.
Here is what I came up with. I took out a laundry basket full of toys out of the playroom to store away. Then I put 4 of Ely's many baby dolls and gave them all their own little bed and blanket. Next, I made a Yo Gabba Gabba box, a Unifix cube box, a mini Disney Princess box, a purse accessory box, a musical instrument box, a purses box and a crown and dress up box. I am missing a box so I need to clean it and put it back. It is an act of the Holy Spirit for me to have accomplished this level of organization. Thank you Holy Spirit! Afterwards Ely and I played with the Princesses and practiced putting them back in their place.
Look at the table!! So free of clutter! I even wiped down the slide because it was a bit smudgy. Tomorrow I am going to spot sweep the room.
