Yesterday (day 1) the goal was to clean the bathroom cabinet and hall closet. I went on to clean out our bedroom and nursery! We took an entire trunk load of stuff to Goodwill, and threw away four or five grocery bags of junk not good enough for Goodwill (mostly expired beauty products)!
Holy cow, good day!
Today so far, I've cleaned out the spare bedroom closet. Which is a pretty huge walk-in. Now, I'm taking a little "me" time to sit here. (E is asleep and A will be awake any second!)
Thursday (which will be Day 4) we're meeting with a realtor in the evening. The guy we're meeting with has 25 years of experience, and sounded very personable and knowledgeable. I like him so far...
I've had a little wrench thrown in my attitude, which is that a relative-who-shall-not-be-named started wanting to "help", and now has sounded like she wants to take over and tell me what I need to do and where furniture needs to go...etc. Making me question the fact that I'm the 31-year-old clean freak/organizer that I am. And the questioning of self makes me lose all my momentum and the drive I've had going so far. She has invited herself over this Saturday to clean and then again next week. I feel the control slipping through my fingers. So, I will try to keep communication open, and keep (nicely) reminding her that I have a system. Her husband will be "helping" mine this Saturday, too. Poor mine. SHE suggested that my J is "laid back" or "slower" than hers and so to remind him not to get offended if her husband takes over a bit.
Just when I was really starting to get excited and make a dent in all this cleaning, I'm starting to now feel completely deflated.
Hence, the break.
Now, the task is two-fold. Clean/organize AND get over these inadequate/never-good-enough feelings. And get over those feelings FAST! I don't have time to be deflated and bummed out.
