Ok...ok...ok....everyone is on the declutter bus. Get rid of that, trash that...don't buy two of those....I am still in the process of purging my home of unwanted clutter. It is a daily, weekly, hourly challenge.
Don't print that off the computer...will you really ever read it again, or will it just add to the piles of paper stacked up on the left hand side of my computer desk?
Which brings me to my next question. I know several online cleaning helps, tell you to clean things BEFORE they get dirty. So how often is too often? Are we expected to clean things weekly, bi-monthly? What to do. How often do you scrub your tubs? Weekly, every two weeks? What is normal? And especially in this house...and most homeschooling Mom's barely have time to potty by themselves let alone scrub the whole house before the dh comes home from a hard days work....and we are supposed to look like June Cleaver before he comes home, during our cleaning with pearls on and dress with heels, all the while bent over at the waist scrubbing the ring around the bathtub with bleach, and how do you KEEP bleach off yourself without changing the color of the dress....of course back in June Cleaver's day they only had black and white tv's....so maybe it was harder to see the bleach stains on her dress when it was just black and white and not color.
So all this wondering just makes me wonder....do I clean with bleach before I get showered and dressed to pearls? do I clean WITH THE PEARLS? I do good to get makeup on most days....and now all this stress of when to clean, what day, pearls, no pearls, dress, heels. What is a girl to do.
I am trying to make some changes here at my home. Starting with my house. I am in a 30-day challenge of trying to keep one room clean for one day....then next day clean another room, then that day keep 1st room clean along with 2nd room. Day 3....3rd room, all the while keeping room 1 & 2 looking good.
I have so many piles and somethings in my home don't have "homes" or places they really "go" in the house. It has just been stacked on that particular item for so long, it seems a good place for it. But I know if a cleaning crew came in, that would be the first to move to a "home". You know a place for everything and everything in it's place.....well a few things here at my house, have lost their place, or never had one. I am an out of sight, out of mind person. So once it goes behind a cabinet door, closet door, or drawer, I never think about it again. How does someone like that fit in this new clutter free home world? I often wonder how the old-timers are really getting along in this world today. Are we that much different than our fore-mothers and fathers? Why in this time, are we all hanging onto clutter so much that we have several reality TV shows of purging your homes. There is neat, Mission Organization, just to mention a few, and on the net there is FLY Lady, Oraganized Home, Clean Heart , Clean Home. All of which I am a part.
Anyway, how often do you all clean your home? Weekly, twice a week? Monthly and keep everything else straight?
