So, today I got over my "I'm not worthy" attitude - and got to work! I didn't even get up at 4 a.m. like my "perfect" friend Lori - ha!! And I appreciate the little pep talks I got to remind me of what is truly important.
My guests next week will be staying in my son's room - and since the room was overrun with Lego's, Army men, and books, I tackled it first. I couldn't have my son have a clean room & not do the same for my daughter - so I cleaned hers too. When I say "clean," I mean clean out - get rid of stuff, organize, and clear off a few cluttered surfaces.
AND best of all, I ended up with 2 big bags of garbage ... and lots more stuff to take to Goodwill:

The result was a cleaned out closet with a few EMPTY PLACES ... and a basketball hoop on it in case the guests want to shoot a few baskets!!

My daughter's closet wasn't so easy to empty out ... she has SO MUCH stuff that I can't bear to throw away, especially now that I know we are probably having another girl. Thankfully, I also found a rubbermaid container of my FAVORITE baby outfits that I saved - and there were a few girl things - yeah!

Speaking of a baby girl ... I finally broke down & bought a little sleeper I found at our Goodwill. My first baby purchase. Even if it is not a girl, I only spent $0.70! :)
Tomorrow I go back to work - and in the evenings, I will continue to work on my other elephants - and I will NOT be stressed out any longer. :)

LOL! Well...next time, try bouncing out of bed at 4:00 a.m. like I do. :) (NOT!) boy, you got a lot accomplished!! Good for you. Doesn't it just make ya feel so good to get stuff like that tackled?? I plan to do some deep down and dirty cleaning before school starts again too.
You're getting some of that 2nd trimester energy now, aren't ya!? Use it for all it's worth. :)
Now you're making me jealous of your clean house!!
