    Spring cleaning!

    I know it's a bit early, I am starting to try to get the house in shape. This week, I gave the kitchen and bathroom a needed scrubbing, and this weekend I am going to start on the bedroom. It needs to be organized badly.

    When the weather gets nice enough, I'm going to finally organize the shed! Everything is just tossed in there, from xmas decorations to camping gear to who knows what, you can barely stand in there now, and we might need something in there someday!

    So, what are your spring cleaning projects? Spring is just around the corner!

    I'm waiting for it to get warm enough to take down all of my blinds and take them outside and hose them down. Full of dust and cat hair .... YUCK!

    The thing I always do first (or just about) is the windows, inside and out. Once the sun is bright and warm, I want to SEE it!! So I get all the grime and grit off the outside, and all the kitty nose prints off the inside. After that, the brightness shows what needs to be done.

    The one thing I need to do at my house is not to trash it the minute I walk in it when I get off the boat.. It looks so nice..... then I come home....

    I worked on my bedroom last week. Changed the furniture, vaccumed, finally hung some things on the wall. I almost looks decent now.

    Me too. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable approach to cleaning.

    I must be wierd (well, we KNEW that!) but I never do "spring cleaning." I do "fall cleaning" instead.

    When it starts to get warm in the spring - which isn't going to be for another two months at least here - I know we are not going to be spending very much time in the house. I have so many outside projects that need to be crammed into our short three months of summer, that I pay very little attention to the house.

    But in the fall, when I know it's soon going to be bad weather and I'm going to be stuck in the house for nine months, is when I really clean everything.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    I've been trying to get this house back up to snuff myself . I thoroughly cleaned our bedroom last week, ditto for the bathroom ,from top to bottom.

    I then attacked the messes in my sewing room,as well as the soon to be family room in our basement, and last but not least, I tidied up the exercise room.( I need to visit that room more often).


    I've got to utilize all this pent up energy and I figure,
    if you Spring Clean, It Will Come.

    Oh my goodness if that was the case I would clean today like a madwoman!!

    Actually the only thing that I do that would classify as spring cleaning is window washing. That is a task that gets done only once a year in the spring. Right now I can't even consider it as I look outside onto the layer of ice over everything. When it truly warms up I will venture down to the basement again to continue the never-ending task of whipping that into shape. Of course the lack of cooperation on the part of hubby and son to toss things out makes it more difficult than it needs to be. Also, it is much too cold to be down there these days!

    We have a lovely sunny day today that makes it really look like srping, but somehow I lack the motivation to start cleaning. The sun is making my kitchen window look filthy, and the nose marks are really starting to build up on the sitting room window, but I think I will just clear out a couple of cupboards that need it and see what next week brings.

    Well since i'm just a teenager here I still help around with this, We are starting today as well, since it's actually windy today and nice outside rather than just hot. I mostly start with my room because i haven't been using it or sleeping in there latley, since i want to move in to my brothers room so comfortable and i can actually sleep. So i think i'm moving in there this weekend hopefully. I love cleaning the kitchen and the windows and vaccuming, but when i vaccum the dogs start attacking it.
