"Spring" Cleaning

So as soon as the presents are unwrapped and the ball has dropped,
I start itching to de-clutter, purge, and reorganize. There is just something about the New Year that makes me want to start fresh. Well, that and the fact that it usually looks like Santa dumped out his sleigh and ran out of our house. (And just maybe my OCD has a little something to do with it.)

This week began my mission to regain some organization...a necessary evil with 4 kids. My biggest project is our bonus/playroom. Unfortunately, this room has to serve too many purposes (office, sewing/craft room, fitness room...just in case I ever find time for that elliptical again, playroom for a 3 year old, and a playroom for soon-to-be mobile triplets). So making it functional for all involved is a huge challenge. I find that the bonus room is evolutional...it's always being "upgraded" or revamped. I imagine that will continue as long as my children live here and I'm OCD. So it's not going to stop anytime soon.

I'm thinking that if I start now, I'll actually be done with my Spring cleaning by Spring. There just aren't enough hours in the day...or weekend for that matter! So far the girls have been pretty tolerant of my craziness...and lucky for me Madilin loves a Swiffer duster (I imagine that in 10 years it won't be near as much fun)!

Sometimes I'm not sure how Matt puts up with me. Stay tuned for pics of how it all comes together...for a few months anyway!

One thing is for sure...I will never be featured on TLC's Hoarding: Buried Alive.
