my house...

Just a quick light hearted blog I thought I'd share. My house is infamous for clutter! I'm sure some of you can relate. It's a 3bedroom, 1 bathroom home with 3 people (1 being a tween) living in it and a 13 year old living in it too during the summer. Well, hubby is a PACKRAT! That's right, I'm using caps! He saves EVERYTHING! Things u know he'll NEVER need again~~Receipts from 2011, cheese knives (I have no idea where they came from), car parts he has long since replaced, just STUFF. Well, we finally had it out. His stuff was beginning to overrun the house! We had the infamous "blowout" that I'm sure many of u wives out there have had before. Girlfriends, wives, hubbies, u know what I'm talking about~~the "THAT'S IT--I'M THROWING IT ALL OUT" blow out. Well, he actually let me clean up his clutter yesterday! How nice of him, right, to let me clean up the clutter~! So, yesterday, for 3 hours, I dusted, cleaned, threw out, and organized every corner, closet, and room in my house. Yep, 3 hours of hard labor. I do have a bad back so the tough parts (lifting, high shelves) he and his son did. I burned over 500 cals by the time I was done. My house is now CLUTTER FREE! I had 6 bags of trash and 8 bags of donated clothes and shoes! We got rid of all that too so it's not sitting in a corner "waiting to be thrown out"~~I made him get rid of it right then! Everything now has a home. My bathroom is almost completely redone. On a funny note, apparently I used to be a big Pointer Sisters fan back in the 80s because the plumber found a Pointer Sisters poster from 1986 behind the drawers in my bathroom. How embarrasing! You should have seen the hair and makeup! Lol..

So, yep, that's my story. Thought I'd share how happy I am now that my home is completely clean and organized. It's a big step for hubby, you could almost feel the panic when I started throwing away the cheese knives...
