Throw Out Thursday

I've begun to realize that when I have what I consider to be a messy house, it's usually just a house with clutter. I also acknowledge that a cluttered house puts me in a bad mood. Seriously. A clean, uncluttered house helps keep me in a great mood. :)

So, today I started in the kitchen. I cleaned out EVERY cabinet. I started with the cabinet under the sink...the one that holds all of my cleaning supplies. The cleaning supplies needed cleaning. Then I continued through the rest of the kitchen.

I'm glad I have a clean kitchen. But I must admit that I'm really surprised at how long this project took. Most of my day. I'm glad I did it, but I never thought it would take so long. I thought after the kitchen I would proceed to the laundry room. That didn't happen.

Maybe the laundry room will be tomorrow. And I would really like to tackle the storage closet on Saturday. I would love to do all of the kids' rooms too, but realistically I don't think it's all going to happen.

And truth be told, I have to wonder if it's worth all the time. Is it worth the time to spend all day sorting and cleaning out my children's rooms when I know in a month they'll probably look the same way they do right now.
