I love spring cleaning, I’ll admit it. That’s partly ‘cause I’m a neat freak, partly ‘cause I really hate winter, and partly the whole starting over new aspect of it. This is a three pronged approach for me.
My spring cleaning has already started outside. I’ve cleaned out the front and one back flower bed. I’m tackling the sides this weekend and a second bed in the back. I also have got quite a bit planted. Mostly veggies, but also pansies and some new roses. This is work I like to do and I realized last weekend, I really slacked off over the winter. I was so sore after just one weekend! It’s a good workout at least right? That’s what I keep telling myself anyway lol!
My husband plans on tackling the inside of the house while I work outside this weekend. Yeah. I had the same reaction. I’ll keep the camera handy so we can immortalize any accidental work lol. g I’ll probably get most of what I want done over the next couple of days while I have the house to myself and leave the floors for him to take care of.
And lastly, writing. And editing, and promoing, etc. I’ll have a look at my unfinished projects soon. Decide what I think is or isn’t worth pursuing and make decisions about what to work on the next few months. Thankfully, so far at least, all my edits for the year are done. So now it’s a matter of revising, writing, revising, submitting, etc.
So this is what spring cleaning looks like in my life. A total reordering lol! How about y’all? Anyone else go nuts when spring rolls around?
This year I’m feeling the urge to clean and purge. My roommate (my oldest daughter) and I moved into a new apartment a year ago and I still have boxes to unpack. And my youngest daughter moved into an apartment down the street from us so some of it I can send to her house.
Plus Brie’s thinking about buying a house, so we’ll be moving again.
So I really need to get cleaning
I’m with Joan Rivers – ‘If God had meant me to scrub floors he’d have left the diamonds on the surface’.
There have been certain times when I get the urge to organize and clean out closets, etc.
I just wish that urge would hit me right now!
