What is it about spring that has me looking around and it's like the blinders are off and all I can think is, "Holy crap. We've been living in this filth!"
It's not just blinds being taken down for scrubbing. Blankets are washed and vents are vacuumed.
And outside, our yard is.....a wasteland. It's like an abandoned piece of property that has harbored wild animals who hoard every scrap that blows through.
I just took a walk around the house and have decided some of the junk just has to go. I don't care if a project pile can be salvaged into a working whatever. Right now we are two steps from the worst yard on the block.
I think the Christmas tree on the front porch has got to be the first to go!
I don't know what it's called, spring bug, spring fever, I don't know. Whatever it is, it has bitten/gotten/reached me too.
ReplyDeleteLast night I went through my closet and took out a bag of clothes I'll never wear. And I fear I'll do it again soon, because there's more stuff in there that just has to go!
Spring fever hasn't hit me yet . . . maybe I'm just afraid to take inventory of what needs to be done! haha
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas tree is pretty bad, but have you seen our backyard? Shoes, kids cups, broken pieces of wood, dog toys - it almost looks like a Carlson yard! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! This morning I donated two oversized boxes filled to overflowing to a local charity. Closets are being purged, windows are being scrubbed, even the dog got a bath. We definitely have spring fever.

ReplyDeleteI don't even want to talk or think about the mess in my house and in my yard. I'm going to have my boy help me tackle the yard next week when he's on spring break (when the baby is sleeping.) Then we are going to spring clean the house over the weekend. I'm not doing it myself!
ReplyDeleteI took this week off work and posts like this are making me feel guilty for not paying more attention to the spring cleaning I really meant to get done. We don't have our Christmas tree on our porch, but the branches Hubby trimmed off of it getting it into the house ARE still on the back porch.
