Re: Spring Cleaning 2019 (Fall Cleaning for those Down Under!)
We got the screened in porch cleaned up fairly well. Unfortunately, we are emptying out the POD into it, so it still isn't back to normal.

Re: Spring Cleaning 2019 (Fall Cleaning for those Down Under!)
I empathize, TT. I'm almost finished cleaning out the garage, but then I want to set a table up in there so I can continue to bring clutter out of the house for processing. It almost seems counterproductive, but I suppose it isn't much different than cleaning the counter to make dinner (and a new mess).
The last of our patio furniture arrived yesterday. I just need to do a bit of spot cleaning where birds have left their marks, and then get into the habit of using chair covers on the chat set. My dh has been sitting outside almost every day after work. New patio furniture was a great idea. I hired someone to help me with the garage on Thursday. We got about half of it done in 2.5 hours, and then yesterday I did a bit more. Today I will finish. I have posted a lot of things for sale and took a load to the thrift store. I have a box of items set aside for delivering to people. I filled about two of those wheeled garbage cans full of garbage. I knew it was bad, but I didn't expect to be throwing away so many shoes and old sports equipment! I'm getting over the flu, so I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself today. Finishing the garage will be it. Hopefully the lady who helped me (she has a cleaning and personal organizing business) will have time again to help me this week. I asked her to keep my on her fill-in list for Thursdays. She was a big help. I was afraid of being overwhelmed but we worked well together.

I have a slow week this week and I hope to actually get some things out of the house!

All I have left are 2 closets. I hate doing closets.
Lots of stuff leaving the house! |

Re: Spring Cleaning 2019 (Fall Cleaning for those Down Under!)
Jodi, your list is almost identical to mine! I'm so unmotivated though.
Tomorrow I'm going to Costco, then planning to finish cleaning the homeschool stuff, list items for sale, and take stuff to donate. If I get that done, it'll be more than I've done in weeks. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I believe I’m delegating. And may pay the youngest to clean out my own personal homeschool cupboard since she’s going to be starting high school and it will be all about her after ds graduates |

Re: Spring Cleaning 2019 (Fall Cleaning for those Down Under!)
Well the garage clean out has been derailed by so many things. We have gone through quite a few boxes though and got them organized. And hauled off one large load to charity. It doesn't hardly make a dent though. Maybe we'll get more chances during the summer. I hope so.

My husband moved his "office" from our kitchen table to our school room table and I still haven't really organized that space well. I can't even wrap my brain around it. Maybe if I clear stuff out tomorrow, organizing the rest won't seem so hard.

Re: Spring Cleaning 2019 (Fall Cleaning for those Down Under!)
I am trying to be very diligent about having biweekly trips to get rid of things and scrutinizing everything that comes in to the house. The people in my knitting group were laughing at me when I didn't automatically take the free pattern offered bit wanted to look at it and see if it was something I would actually knit first. After moving I don't want to have all that extra stuff and I don't have the room.
After getting in my add meds again I am once again making progress on the house. I got all the picters hung up. Today the goal is to start organizing the book shelfs one a day. I have to sit down and plan school because there are things I need buy things next month. I would really like to start in August to give us a month of our own scedule before coop starts Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Re: Spring Cleaning 2019 (Fall Cleaning for those Down Under!)
Today I helped DS #1 go through his room and sort through the MOUNTAINS of books he has! He kept some, gave some away to family, sent some to the church library and some to the local op shop (I think in the US its Goodwill??)
He feels good about starting to sort things out.....now the rest of us have to get started
