Downstairs

I’m venturing downstairs today with trash bags in hand and every cleaner I own for the BIG CLEAN before school starts. Time to de-junk the kids rooms of all the things that may have accumulated there over the summer, organize closets, wash bedding, and dust the day away.

Honestly, having my kids bedrooms in the basement is a curse and a blessing. It’s way too easy for me to pretend nothing beyond the stairs exists. Blissful ignorance…

how did it go, you are braver than I am. I am not up to it emotionally right now! I will throw away too much! I am in a purging mood and the kids would hate me afterwards!

Well, it's done (one huge sigh of relief). I'm pretty sure Caleb is one step away from being considered a hoarder. I think his future wife is going to have something to say about all of his scout, uh, memorabilia. LOL. His idea of "clean" is how much floor shows and for as smart as he is, he has no idea how to organize things into like categories.
There were no bad words said the whole day and for the moment, everything is clean and organized.
