My first 'showdown' was the kitchen counters - declutter them. Then, she was being so good today I actually organized our dining room closet AND cleaned off the top of the fridge! I feel so much better when my house is clean. Now, if I can get dh to finish cleaning his office (which I asked for for Mother's day).TroxelTribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333221560911681108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-15130930688764761182008-05-15T12:55:00.000-06:002008-05-15T12:55:00.000-06:00Seriously, I have a closet that is horrible.

The next thing I know, he cleaned the whole thing out. He organized, dejunked, and cleaned. Yeah for me. However, I will find a different problem area to tackle. Heaven knows we have plenty. Maybe Matt will clean it for me too!KAMBRIA and MATThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04661427713233984163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-25782000995736724132008-05-15T11:46:00.000-06:002008-05-15T11:46:00.000-06:00Ok, remember that waffle iron I mentioned earlier?...Ok, remember that waffle iron I mentioned earlier?

Yesterday after reading your blog I took the challenge. I tackled the kitchen junk drawer. It is nice and organized now. We moved in about 2 years ago and hadn't done a thing with it until yesterday. Thank you for the challenge and the fun forum. Also, I went back and read the first challenge and I will take that on too.

I am a self proclaimed clean freak bordering OCD, but there is one room in my house that does NOT reflect my inner clean freak and that is under our air hockey table in the boys play room. Josh (the pack rat) has stored all his cassettes yes cassettes, and VHS movies and electronic JUNK and its so unorganized looking and I can't stand it. So yesterday I litterally had a "moment" (and by moment, I went crazy and was cursing my husband's name for even keeping this crap!!!)then I attacked!! I boxed everything up and I mean everything and put it in storage. Now my play room looks organized and my psycho brain can finally rest!! My house is complete and Camille I have you to thank for it!!

Either our bed, which we have not slept in for 3 months due to it's doubling role as a closet (we have a guest room we've been sleeping) or the closet that once was a laundry room. I think I'm going to have to do both in order for them to stay functional for a while. If I do only one I know the clothes in the neglected 'closet' will slowly creep back and reoccupy it's old territory. Here goes challenge of the clothes!Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455273617094413253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-11128933451835761142008-05-12T21:27:00.000-06:002008-05-12T21:27:00.000-06:00I am new to the blog, but I am up for the challeng...I am new to the blog, but I am up for the challenge.

My husband and sons made me waffles for lunch (our power was out so we slept in and didn't get it as breakfast) after church, and uh... that batter has been soaking under a moist cloth all night and all morning today and it's still not budging. I was gonna leave it in hopes that my husband would get to it eventually, but after this challenge, I guess I shall go do it. In a minute. (Or ten). :)<BR/>Other than that, I had been meaning to convert my younger son's bedroom into a Guest Room/Solitary Confinement for those nasty tantrums (you probably read about one lately on my blog) and have him share a room with my older son, and I did finally get that done this morning. Way to motivate me!
