Home Sweet Simple Home

My Challenge today

Today is the last day of Mrs. Wilt’s Anti-procrastination challenge.
Today I have washed 3 sweaters that have been sitting on top of the washing machine for [ahem] a few weeks because I didn’t want to be bothered with the “dry flat” part. Today they are washed and drying flat- but before I could do that I had to clean off the laundry table to make room (and it hasn’t been cleaned off since November because I found a folded stack of autumn towels!).
I will be taking the slip cover off of the sofa later today to wash also. I like to try and do this once a month (unless we have spills . . . .) and I’ve procrastinated on that too!
So after a week of these challenges I have cleaned and organized my buffet- making room for homeschooling supplies, cleaned and de-cluttered by stairway and laundry table, put away a basket of laundry that had been sitting there for over a week(!), went sledding with my family (Mr. Conductor’s first time!), washed blankets and sofa covers, stored gift bags and tissue paper, cleaned out the fridge, put a dinner in the freezer and finally took all the boxes of Christmas decorations to the basement for storage! Whew! What a week!
The family has gotten into the challenge with me and we will all be chipping in to move Sassafras’s bed and do major clean up under it tomorrow (It amazes me what all can be hidden/lost in a 2 inch tall space). We then plan to tackle the girls’ closet on Thursday. Gotta keep the momentum going!
Last week, Mr. Steady got into the challenge and decided to clean out/vacuum all our huge floor registers (besides dust bunnies, bits of paper and foodie items, he also collected 4 marbles, 15 push pins, 3 plastic necklaces, 1 toy car and a few playing cards). That man is so wonderful!!!

Oh my, it has been a busy week hasn't it? Although, it feels so good to have so much accomplished. Congratulations on your long list of TOO DONEs. (as opposed to TO DOs) lol
