How to be a Domestic Goddess.

Posted in Better Me, Girlie Stuff at 9:11 am by Adriene

Once or twice a year, I seem to get this bug where I feel the incessant need to clean my entire house from top to bottom. I think the obsessive-compulsive part of me really enjoys it - I get to make lists of things to clean, schedules of when to clean them, reorganize closets, get rid of things I don’t use, and, best of all, make use of my handy-dandy label maker.

I look at websites (like OrganizedHome.com) with articles on how to clean more efficiently, how to come up with a cleaning schedule, and even how to (gasp!) make your own cleaning wipes! (How cool is that?)

So, I have forewarned Jeff that a massive cleaning is coming up, and although he’s usually a huge help around the house (he usually has bathroom duty, since I HATE cleaning bathrooms), he knows not to interfere when I do a deep clean. He’ll tidy things for me (like picking up the umpteen billion magazines and newspapers we have laying about), but leave the scrubbing to me!

Anyway, that’s my project for the next couple of weeks before football starts and I have no more free time on the weekends.

(Help me, I’m turning into my mother-in-law.)
