clean up the house

Of course I’ll want to keep it up, but right now the office is clear (except for my kid, who came home for the holidays!), the floors washed, the coffee table clean and the clutter is at least hiding. I’ll make a new goal for 2007.

eventually I have to do this. My home is a priority; my house, less so. This year I painted only one room and rearranged the furniture. I did set up my office but it is a mess now. I haven’t made my bed in a week and the holidays are coming.

So, before this year ends I will clean up the office/guest room, thoroughly clean both bathrooms, give away or sell the unnecessary stuff that clutters up my life, and try to make a habit of clearing the living room coffee table of my books, papers, etc. at the end of each evening. It really bothers my poor mom and it is a simple thing for me to do.

And I want to get back to making my bed every day. I did that when I worked, I don’t know why I’ve let it slide. It is so much more inviting in the evening that the rumpled blankets I’ve left the last few weeks.

So, no big promises, just general hygiene, a little courtesy, and forethought.
