Got a Wild Hair Up My Butt

You know how sometimes an idea pops in your head and you start doing before you think-well that is what I did. We have a den that use to a garage (before we moved in). The room is useless to us and I had enough. It is the biggest room in the house and it's only purpose is holding furniture and junk mail. It is the room you walk in from the outside and it looks awful. When I first looked at the house to possibly buy the owner had it as his man cave. After I moved in (I was single at the time) it became a wasted space. The tv and the couch was in the living room. I put my treadmill in there, a bench, and a chair. Basically it became a catch-all. After my man moved in we made one wall a chalkboard wall and put up a dartboard and then added a folding table. Now that we have Jack and we no longer played darts the room needed a purpose. I decided we would make this room into a playroom for Jack/office. Saturday morning (while everyone was still asleep) I moved out the furniture and started pulling up the carpet. Thankfully when my husband woke up and after saying "what the hell are you doing" he started helping. Here are some pics.

Did you know you can get mistinted paint at Sherwin Williams for $5 (you just gotta ask to see it in the back)

Pulling up the carpet

It started with me doing this

We were able to take the carpet up and remove the strips around the wall and we also were able to finish painting the room. Our next step is putting down new molding and finding vinyl to put down. Eventually this will make a great playroom/office!

All Over the Place

What kind of cleaner are you?

Do you have a schedule or do you clean sporadically?

I'm a "to-doer" on so many levels but when it comes to cleaning I'm just all over the place.

I've made the family cleaning schedule (several times I might add).

Ever so often a blogger will post about their cleaning schedule and will even include the printable.

 I'll print that bad boy out and get excited about our new cleaning schedule that I WILL stick to this time.

It works-for a freaking day or two-and then it gets dropped. 

My diets work about the same way but that's a whole different story. 

When I saw this funny I recognized it as me pretty quickly.

I hate this about myself. 

I wish I could stick to a cleaning schedule. 

I clean every day. 

It is just never a scheduled clean. 

Sometimes I do laundry before work.

Sometimes I don't do laundry for days.

That system really doesn't work.

I'll tell myself that I will no longer go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink and by golly for 2 whole mornings I'll wake up with a clean sink.

Then it will be a long day and I will just wanna go to bed so I tell myself I'll just leave them just this once and then the next morning I'm bummed about my dirty kitchen.

I'll come home from work and have to cook supper and then it is too much to clean now that you are all full from the great meal you just cooked. 

That will last until I've had a enough or we run out of cups and then "I am going to stop going to bed with dirty dishes" starts again.

Vicious cycle people. 

What do I plan on doing about this problem?

1. Yell at my husband that he needs to help me out more with the cleaning.

2. Stick to that cleaning schedule on my fridge.

3. Run around cleaning like a mad woman and then stop because now I have to clean out the closets.

Probably 1 and 3 because sticking to a cleaning schedule just doesn't work for me even as much as I wished it did. 

I can't help it I have ADCD!

I would like to know....how do you clean?
