Clean up...clean up...everything has a special place!

Good afternoon readers! I hope each of you have had a super day. I have, I feel so accomplished. After a week of feeling the winter crud and sinus infection blues. I actually got up and cleaned today. My Mom decided to keep the kids to give me a break yesterday and boy did I need it. Thank you Mommy. After getting some much needed rest and down time I realized that the house did not have a down time. The clutter, dust, dishes, and crumbs kept piling up without apologies. I decided that I couldn't possibly get everything done so I focused on the kitchen, dusting, sweeping, and mopping. I feel pretty happy sitting here with my sweet I-cleaned-all-day Pinesol smell blowing through my house. My TV is all shiny from the fresh dusting and my dishwasher is finishing up my days work for me. I just had to come share my Pinesol euphoria. Don't you love how a good cleaning of your house is like having your cake and eating it too?

Clutter Fairy Victim #12,345,678,910

I've been targeted by the illusive Clutter Fairy folks. This trick has treated me pretty horribly. That photo above is my basement. Pick your jaws up okay! That's the cleanest part of my basement right now. Two and half years of chemotherapy, doctor visits, seemingly endless puke buckets, and weeks of isolation hasn't been good to my basement. When my daughter was diagnosed we lived in the hospital and our stuff was brought here in boxes and there it has stayed. We pretty much started all over due to immunity restrictions. She couldn't be around alot of dust or bacteria. We were afraid to really get into organizing it and making her sick. But now she is all done with treatment and the basement is coming upstairs pleading with us to clean it. My husband is organizing things right now. He's determined but I'm just not motivated. I don't know where to start really. So I come to my new group of followers and loyal readers to ask. What do I do about my basement? I want links, tips, videos, blog posts, any and everything you can bring me. I need your guidance. My basement needs you, my garage needs you and the Clutter Fairy needs to be laid off. Help. me. PLEASE!
