Cleaning House
My wife has been on a cleaning kick. I think her nesting instincts have kicked in to over drive and she is cleaning the house top to bottom. Or in our case bottom to top. Everyday she picks a new room and cleans it. And we are talking about lifting furniture, scrubbing walls, shampooing carpet, dusting, organizing the whole nine yards. Some rooms have taken a few days, depending on the complexity. She has also taken the time to do all the seasonal clothing exchanges getting out warm weather clothing and putting away some of the winter wear.
The moment i finish work for the day I am drafted into helping. I get to do whatever she can not. Through this process I am amused at a few things.
1) Exactly how dirty a house can get.
2) How much dust can collect under or behind a piece of unmoved furniture.
3) The amount of energy my wife has to dedicate to this, considering her condition.
4) How quickly our kids can destroy our efforts.
Ok, enough for now. Gotta go clean.
