Nesting much?

People keep telling me that when I get the overwhelming urge to make sure that everything in my house is clean and organized, that Evie Grace could be on her way! Well, for the past several weeks, and probably couple of months, Alan and I have worked hard to get everything ready for her arrival. This has included a lot of reorganization in our house, as it is smaller so we must utilize every inch effectively. He has done a great job b/c he is much more organized than I am! Trust me! ;) When it's time to go through things to get rid of them, organize them, etc, I consider it a time of reminiscing, thus never getting the task accomplished!

The one thing about our house, though, is that b/c it is older, it is so very dusty! So, I had resolved that closer to May I would Murphy all the furniture and Murphy all the hardwood floors, which is the whole house, excluding the kitchen and bathroom. Now floors take a long time for anyone to do b/c we all know you can't simply mop them... first, you have to vacuum or sweep them, however you get decide to get the dust and dirt off the floor. THEN, you can mop them! So on Saturday while Alan was at work, I did this large task (much more difficult and exhausting at 38 weeks pregnant!), and I bleached the bathrooms.

Last night (Tuesday), while cleaning the kitchen, I noticed that that floor was exceptionally disgusting (I mean, honestly, how does one keep white linoleum flooring clean?!!! I feel as if that's an oxymoron!). So, I first vacuumed it, and then began to Swiffer mop it... NOPE... that wasn't doing it for me! Time to break out my good friend, BLEACH (I mean, who doesn't LOVE that smell! So clean! and no I am NOT inhaling it, as I understand it can cause harm! I just use enough for cleaning.), grab a cleaning rag, and get on all floors! It was Cinderella time! :) Now the kitchen floor is super clean (I even did the baseboards while I was down there), and I am much happier!

At this point, I thought, Why stop now? The furniture needs to be Murphied! That's when Alan said, "Does this really have to be done right now?" "Yes, honey, it really does." So he began helping me by moving things off of furniture. I have to admit though... by the time I got to our bedroom, I just dusted around things... I was much too exhausted after Cinderella-time and Murphying the furniture in the dining and living room to move everything!

So now, really, I just want to catch up on laundry and maintain the sterilized house! :)

The house is ready for you, baby girl! :)
