PURGE!

WOW! I got TONS done yesterday! I didn't take a break once during the day! The exterminator showed up an hour earlier than the scheduled appointment (yikes!) but fortunately, I was 90% done going through our Master Bathroom tossing stuff right and left. He started on the outside first, treating for fire ants (every Texan's nightmare!) while I finished up inside. I like the guy who does our service because he's a Christian and a Godly conversation can be a real "pick me up!" After he left, I finished our bathroom and went through my closet.

Underneath my sink.


I'm not usually anal but there are some things that have to be "just right" and my drawers are one of them!




When we had new carpet laid 2+ years ago, I overhauled my closet and came up with a system that has worked really well for me. Yesterday I switched out my winter clothes for my summer things. Except for Christmas, when I needed to store gifts out of sight, my system has worked and my closet has remained neat and tidy! All of my winter stuff is now packed up in their containers and stored on the shelf. All that remains to do in my closet is going through my purses and wallets.

All of my shoes are in clear boxes with a label on them. I moved the shoes that I would typically wear more in the Winter (brown, suede clogs, for example) to the far right and moved my sandals more to the forefront.



I organized the kids bathroom and cleaned in there really well. I had been holding off ever since Laura got married and moved out. I wanted to store the guest towels in there and I moved the humidifier and foot spa from our bathroom in there as well. I also used the vacuum attachment and cleaned out the register vents on the floor.

I quit around 3 PM and started focusing on dinner. I grilled some chicken breasts I had marinated and Dave had some Hot Links that I threw on as well. His softball game last night was canceled because the fields were still too bad from last weeks rain.

Today I am tackling the kitchen cabinets and pantry. If I was amazed at how much I got rid of yesterday from the bathrooms, I'll be down right shocked today! I suppose in all fairness, I should take some "before" pictures of how awful my pantry looks! The joys of Spring cleaning!
