cleaning ... bah

so....I am trying to do a "major clean" on my house this summer. my motivation is pretty much non-existent at the moment.

we have started in the living room as we got new blinds after nearly 17 years of the same sheers and valance (we won't talk about the amount of dust on the valance....). They are Levelor S curve vertical blinds in Spiced Apple. Very gorgeous.

so we had to move furniture to get to the huge picture window and that has just snowballed the need to clean, throw out, recycle. it seemed that a lot was done in the living room, but then again, there is still so much more to do.

then there is the dining room which has boxes from the golf team, boxes from my office at work, and other "stuff".

the kitchen needs cleaning and sorting, the hall closet and my bedroom. not touching the kid's rooms, that is their problem.

this is gonna take forever....wish I had a magic wand.......
