keep a clean house

But, in the past almost-year, the rest of the house has stayed pretty well. Certainly, I am living cleaner than I ever did in any of our apartments. I guess if I can spend about 30 minutes a night on my room, it should be clean in a couple weeks. Now, to stay off the wii and clean…

and it’s fairly clean and clutter-free, except for my little room. But that will not be the case for long. I am doing so much better, and I’ve been cleaning in pieces throughout the week instead of thinking I have to do it all in one big day. Makes it easier.

should make it easier to clean, but this place is so small and there is hardly any storage, so it’s not too tidy. However, I am keeping up with the dishes pretty well and cleaning the bathroom regularly, so those are improvements.

But we’re moving again in 2 weeks, so, goodbye studio!

I was just cleaning the tub and there was this mark and I barely scrubbed it, and suddenly a hole appeared! In the tub! I don’t know why that happened, but now I have to tell the landlord. sigh We’re out of here in 4 weeks. I just want to be done with this place, not have more problems!

I’m going to tag this as 2007 resolution. Soon we’ll be living in Ohio, and we’ll be a guest, so I can’t be a slob there. I need to start making good cleaning habits now.
Yesterday I threw away/shredded/re-filed a lot of papers, and today I did a load of dishes and cleaned off the counters and the kitchen sink. There is still more to do, but we’ll be leaving soon for dinner. If I don’t get it perfect by tomorrow, I need to not be hard on myself and just keep going.

Today I got the apartment reasonably clean. It still needs a lot of work in certain areas, but I got the clutter picked up around the TV and the desk, and that stuff has been there for weeks. Tomorrow I should clean up my desk so I have room for my sewing machine.

is an eruption of dusty paper. Gross! But today I have been slowly creating piles and throwing trash away. The key is to get to a clean stopping point, not a lazy stopping point, in which I walk away and three days later, it’s back to nightmare!

I bought some Kaboom and cleaned the dark “ring around the tub” out of the tub. It actually worked! And we’ve had clean dishes all week.

must put things away when done with them… must wash dishes each night… must not let mail pile up around the place… must organize things once and for all and keep them that way… I will be so happy and unstressed if the place looked nice all the time
