It's been a weekend of cleaning and clearing at our house.
We're having the carpets shampooed downstairs this morning. Which meant that all weekend long as well as this morning, I've been running around and straightening and clearing off flat surfaces and anything near the floor to facilitate a thorough shampooing.
The good news is that our downstairs looks wonderful at the moment. So being thoroughly pooped is worth it, I'd say.
My goal? Once the carpet is cleaned and dry, we sift through the remaining dross sprinkled here and there upstairs and down and do a wholesale purge of things we neither need nor use.
The thing I've learned from this: It is truly amazing the sheer amount of crapola that one family can cram into the nooks and crannies of their house when they don't do a regular purge. More of this on a regular basis is definitely in order for us, I have to say.
