Happy Cleaning

Let’s just say that I am not the neatest person in the world. I would do the "everyday" pick up that has to be done with kids and then call it quits. I hated doing laundry, notice how that is past tense? I didn't like to sweep, mop or vacuum. But now, now that I have kept up on the house cleaning, call it nesting or whatever you want, but for me I call it "happy cleaning". Happy cleaning because there is a huge difference in my attitude and in the attitude of Jake and the kids. We are much more organized, cheerful and relaxed. It’s hard to relax when there are things that need to be done. There is no more looking through four different laundry baskets just to find a pair of socks. I now fold and put away the laundry as it comes out of the dryer. I love it. I would wash laundry every day, but never would I fold it and put it away on the same day. Then when it got to be so bad I would fold all of it in one day and that would take hours, now it just take minutes. Thanks to my mom and yes Jake who all along has said, "If you just do it and keep up on it, it will save you time, energy and stress". So now I have a happy home all to "happy cleaning". And if you are ever in the neighborhood and stop to say hi I will invite you in, because my home is a happy clean home.
