I have a breaking point when it comes to clutter and mess and I reached it this morning in my kitchen. It has become a heaping pile and needed serious intervention. I also have my two boys home and in and effort to keep them from playing video games all day, I have had to get pretty creative with our little projects. So this morning I decided we were going to overhaul the kitchen and clean it from top to bottom. We took everything off the shelves, cleaned the shelves then moved them to a better location in the kitchen. We worked our way around the wall until all had been rearranged. We even took the blinds down and scrubbed them because I am pretty sure they haven't been cleaned since this house was built 11 years ago! Yuck!
The boys were not thrilled about our little activity this morning and let me know it with every passing minute. I told them they should be thankful they have a mother that teaches them how to clean the blinds in a house. They will have blinds one day and they will need to be cleaned. They weren't overly grateful for the lesson. I am not sure I will get a call one day thanking me for teaching them this particular skill either.
Now that the kitchen is finished, it looks twice as big as before! It is amazing what rearranging will do for a room. Now if I could only make time to finish sewing the last curtain. We have only lived here for 2 years now. I suppose I should finish it. I have so many projects that are 75% finished it is ridiculous! Time to finish them finally.
