Spring Cleaning



Ahhhhh......Spring Break! Instead of laying on the beach in some tropical place that I cannot pronounce sipping on a fruity drink I am in Portland tackling my spring cleaning! But I have to tell you I really don't mind! There comes a point when I have to re-organize my clutter in order to feel sane especially since most of my down time is devoted to my grad schoolwork or to sleeping (my favorite hobby these days).


My first job was to take care of Russell's terrible closet. I use the word terrible in a nice way because if you saw the before pictures you would be truly horrified. I love my husband very much and he does soooo many wonderful things for me, however, ladies beware they do resort back to the little boy status. The little boy status I refer to are behaviors they still do even though they are working, professional "men"-

1. Leaving their clothes: EVERYWHERE!

2. Forgetting whether the dishwasher is dirty or clean.

3. Leaving muddy items on nice clean floors.

4. And my true favorite: the toliet seat they forget to put down!

Well, I survived reorganizing Russell's closet! There was a silver lining to this joyous event, I was able to throw out his very obnoxious ORANGE Hawaiian shirt! We have been having discussions about that shirt for years! I tell you years, there is no joking about the orange shirt! I am hoping that he will not notice this has happened. So please help me keep this secret!


Back to that lovely chore of Spring Cleaning! I think everyone should try it because it feels so good when you finish. For my teacher friends I feel that I can survive the rest of the school year without screaming out in frustration about my house's messiness, well at least until April:) So I am attaching pictures of my accomplishment!


A little bit of news before I stop, Russ and I go to the doctor on Wed., March 26th to find out what our little one will be! How exciting!!! We will keep you updated!
