What a Great Motivator

Just came downstairs to a beautiful, uncluttered and VERY clean house. Now I just have to do the upstairs & basement! lol.

When I got up this morning, I wasn't feeling the cleaning, but after seeing the results from last night's cleaning binge, I am SO ready to continue the efforts. Wish me luck Smile

And as a result of staying home today, it will be a No Spender

Enjoy! Yup, clutter can be very depressing. Right now I'm staring at a pile of homework stuff that one of the kids dumped! Argghh!

I also have a pile of filing that is quite impressive, but thank goodness hidden away in a cabinet. Sort of like the Staten Island garbage dump, with stuff tumbling off and seagulls flying around!

I am dreading returning home from Reno. DH and I are in the middle of a huge declutter and I know the dining room has empty rubbermaid containers and stuff piled around. But we are going home today, so I have all day tomorrow.
