A Clean House...

I decided yesterday that I was going to spend today (Saturday) cleaning my house every available minute. My house has been so DIRTY and I have been struggling to find the time to really get serious about cleaning it. So today was the day! I only had to stop to take Sam to a birthday party at 2pm and to go back and pick him up at 4pm. I mopped, I cleaned my bathrooms, I washed my rugs, washed my sheets, I even cleaned upstairs! I usually only either clean downstairs or upstairs (time is most often the reason I can't do both). I cleaned from 9am this morning until 5pm this afternoon. I am finishing up my last load of laundry as I type this. It is the most satisfying feeling to sit down in the evening and know that my house is clean. Now, I know that in just a few hours my children will find a way to un-do the work I've done today, but for right now...this second... I feel great.
