Spray, Scrub, Wipe

I have been cleaning the house while Ross has been painting. This morning he painted around the windows in the living room. Yeah! He's been in the guest room a while working on the trim, windows, and doors in there. I think we will even get the ceiling of our bedroom painted before we leave.

I have been dusting and cleaning, and scrubbing and wiping. It is like the ultimate Spring cleaning event. The major thing that is left is the floors. I have swiffered a bunch, but now we need to sweep (Ross is good at that) and mop. The scooba is on the fritz, so we packed it, and I will go across the street to see if I can buy a cheap mop. We can't put Murphy's oil soap in the scooba anyway, and I want to make the floors look really nice.

Oh, and we have to pack up the last few things that are left. Mostly clothes and bathroom items. And the Singer sewing table accidentally got left behind. Oops. We are going to try and fit that in the subee also.

I Promised

Well, I'm finally done. I promised that after vacation I'd work on the back room. It took me four different sessions and a broken nail, but the office is clean! The before picture doesn't actually show the worst of it. Of course it got worse before it got better. I spent an hour cleaning in there this am and you couldn't even tell! I really hope that we can keep it under control this time. I did dump some things into a box for Ross to go through/put away. The corner still isn't cleaned out. I have two boxes of books back there and stuff I want to get rid of. I need to clear that area out, but everywhere else looks much better. On the list for today is also the living room (minor) and the kitchen (needs a lot of work, I'll do a few specific things today). It's time to put the scooba to work. And I need to take the pizza crust out of the freezer for dinner tonight.I turned two piles of paper into 20 piles of paper...

Oh so clean!
