I'm going in. To my bedroom. To clean. It has been a long time. My clothes have taken over since I am still doing the "nothing fits" dance that comes after you gain weight, resolve to lose it, and don't. I'm not willing to part with the stuff I like that doesn't fit. I plan to fit back into it all. And then there is the winter clothes which should have been rotated out of the room months ago.
My ceiling fan must be male since the stubble beard of dust is crawling from the top over the sides. I tell myself that I have sunk this low because I'm paying attention to my kids and other important things in my life. I know that when I get this room tamed that it will bring me peace. So why the hell am I blogging instead of DOING IT? Maybe it is that damn dust allergy... I fear how this activity will make me feel after. Wish me luck -- I'M GOING IN!!!!!!!

You read my mind, I did this last night (ceiling fan and all). It DID feel good to have the pile of clean clothes (that had taken up residence on the chest at the foot of my bed) finally put away. Aaaaaaah! Enjoy the after-cleaning glow!

I have two ceiling fans.
What will the poor spiders do if I clean them?
Okay, you've motivated me. Time to clean here as well. With all this postpartum hair-loss going on, my tile bathroom is starting to sprout a rug!
It is so satisfying to tackle a major cleaning project. It's so cut and dry, scrub it and the dirt goes away. So much else in life is so damn complicated. But who has the energy to clean and organize clothes etc. I was just realizing last night that I have missed three dental cleanings and and other important doc appointments because I have not thought about my own needs either. i know how you feel. It's important to take care of you too (did that sound convincing like I am someone who totally has that down for myself?)

carrie -- funny how great minds think alike!
pamela -- now I'm feeling guilty about homeless spiders! Too funny!
susan -- maybe put the hair rug on ebay? People have made money on less creative things.
lisa -- sure, I'm convinced! I'm guilty too on the skipping of dr. appointments. Sometimes you just are not up for taking care of YOU. Oh well. It it is bad enough I'll be forced to face it! :)
