6 hours!!!

That's how long it took to clean my house.

I started with putting away clean clothes for all four of us. Then I moved to the bathroom, which included washing down the walls. Next was the kitchen!!! The kitchen took me three hours, but it was a full on clean. Clear the counters and wash them down, scrub certain parts of the floor by hand, clean other small areas with a toothbrush and the stove got a good scrub too.

Both floors of my house are vacuumed and other areas swept and washed as well.

Glenn got our mirror and cabinet installed in the bathroom (our bathroom reno is now complete - it only took a year and a half!!!). He also got the shelves installed in the boys rooms as well.

I still have some small stuff sitting on my dining room table, but for the most part, everything we received for the boys has a home.

I usually do two really good cleaning binges a year and I missed the one in the fall due to being pregnant and being on partial bedrest.

Some people suggested I just put my feet up and read a good book, but I still would have had to clean this place. In the end I feel good, and feel like I really used the time I had to accomplish what needed to get done.

I do miss my babies, but there is NO WAY I would have gotten any of this done if they were here.

Now it's time for me to scrub myself up to a shine as my hubby and I are going to head out for dinner.
