The War is On

There is a war waging in Apartment 17. And right now I am losing. Big time. But all that is about to change...

I have a Spring Break Battle Plan. I've broken down each room of my house into a to-do list. If each item is completed, my house should be CLEAN. Not just clean, CLEAN.

Now I am not one of those women who gets all torn up over the state of my house. I want people to feel comfortable when they come over, not as if they are afraid to get something dirty. And most days I choose time with my husband sitting in front of the tv than cleaning up something that will just get dirty again. And most of the time I don't even feel too guilty about it. But with a baby on the way, I feel as though some things may have to change. For one, the time will come quicker than I realize when I will have an almost-toddler in the house. A boy who will crawl all over the place and put anything and everything in his mouth. For two, I will probably have frequent visitors for a while. And no one wants visitors if their house looks like mine does right now!

So wish me luck on my massive to-do list. (It actually does fit in two columns all on one page. And when I make a list, I like to feel successful by marking things off so some of the items will be marked off fairly easily.) Updates to come!
