And how exactly can I get my room clean?

Let me share a little story...

When I was sixteen my room was spotless. My bed was made before I started the day. All of my knick knacks were dusted, my desk was organized with my school books in there special place. My dolls graced the top of my bed while their heads rested on my throw pillows. My blinds were up my curtains were tied to the sides. My carpet was ALWAYS vacuumed. My shoes were organized by season under my bed. My make up was displayed with much class on my dresser.

I for one was proud of how I kept my room. After a long day of high school at home I would curl up on my bed with a good novel and could enjoy it more knowing I was in the presence of a clean bedroom. My clean bedroom.

Now, if you don't mind lets fast forward quite a bit to the present.

...teacher...

...big sister to 11 month old...

...maid of honor (for Carole)...

...preparing for this school year...

...trips...

...etc...

And where does that leave my bedroom?

Well, I can clear it up in two words.

STORAGE ROOM

My bedroom is no longer my sanctuary it's my drop off room. I run upstairs throw a sweater on the bed run back out come back hours later drop shopping bags down go back out and this cycle is impossible to break.

And my question is....

How do I get back to that clean room?

I clean for a day and it doesn't look much better so I give up and then by the next week it looks worse! How can I win?

Well, I am going to try to win today. I am going to put this laptop (distraction) away and I am going to tackle my bedroom.



Cheer me on fellow bloggers I need all the encouraging I can get.


Until next time,
