Trials of a Messy Chick!

Well hello children!

So what's going on in this brain today?
CLEANING!!!

MESS!!!

MY ROOM!


That's right folks, I am one messy chick.
I don't enjoy cleaning. Never have and probably never will.
There are a few reasons for people like me to actually bother cleaning:

  1.  Moving - I have no current plans to move at this time.
  2. Guests - While I have a no going in my room policy when people come to the house, there was the possibility that my niece was going to stay in my room with me!
  3. Guilt - The parents actually going up to your room for some innocuous thing like fixing a running toilet and having a small freak at the state of my room.
For the record, I do feel guilty, but I had already planned to start cleaning up said disaster area!

Is it ironic that my friend Liane and I had a conversation about the same thing a couple of days prior? Maybe. But that conversation was one part of the picture as to why I started to clean again. She had seen one of those cleaning shows that said start by doing 10-15 minutes a day of cleaning, then it seems manageable.
                              I have spent the 5 days of the last week doing 15 - 20 minutes of cleaning. Progress is starting to show! But I have the biggest section left to go. Maybe by next weekend!

Prior to the conversation with Liane came a challenge from my Slytherin group on Ravelry. Specifically Cattiekins (one of my Rav/FB friends also known as Tracy!). She started a get organized month before the crafting game we do gets started. The pictures you see are before shots of the yarn areas only.

So I had actually started organization. Trips to the Dollar store to get containers.

Yesterday I bought more cleaning products, swiffer sheets, garbage and recycling bags.

It is still a work in progress. As I guess my life is still a work in progress. 
Its funny that I have guilt about this. 
Well then why don't I fix it? 
I have no answer at this point. I may never be able to put the connections and issues together. But I think 6 months to my 40th birthday, I would like to keep it clean. I know its a promise I've made before. But I truly want to continue towards clean!

Maybe now that I've outed myself, I can keep it going!

I will show the progress as it comes!
