At the Mallory's This Week

Well this week turned out to be a pretty busy week for me at home. I am devoting this month to Winter Cleaning. I know most people do it in the Spring but I like to spend my time outdoors during that season so I choose Winter and the month of January to do it. So far this month I have cleaned out my kitchen cabinets, pantry, laundry room, boys bedrooms, bathrooms, my bedroom, desk and file cabinet. I still need to clean the blinds, shampoo the carpet and clean out our closets. It has been fun doing this actually because I find things that I thought I had lost or gotten rid of. I found Jesse's imunization records and our birth certificates, which I thought was lost in the move 3 or 4 years ago. I found the paint that Jesse had stored above the refrigerator. I had been looking for this for some time. The good thing about cleaning like this is you get to where everything is organized and in its place and it makes you feel so peaceful, or atleast it does that for me because I love my organization.....love it! Without it I would be lost and just a little crazy.....the eye twitching kind of crazy. So all is almost right in my world and after that I can kick up my feet and delve into the next Nora Roberts book I stumble upon. Hope everyone had a happy holiday!

P.S. Robin if you are reading this, that was me that honked at you the other night when you guys were having a bonfire :)

I was wondering if we knew the honker or if it was just a random drive by!
I wish I had your energy and drive to clean and organize my house. I did do my cabinets and it felt great but I've yet to do every room in my house in one month! Mabye if I wasn't on the computer at 1:45 am I'd have the energy to do so! With that being said...good night!

I really need to do some serious cleaning too. I like the winter clean instead of the spring clean, that's a good idea. I might have to adopt that one.
