It has begun...

I am quite embarrassed by my house right now. I decided that in order to sell it, it needs to look nice. That includes cleaning! I'm not a housekeeper, I never have been. Once, when I was a kid, I didn't clean my room for weeks. It was piled with dirty clothes and sheets and it started to smell so I decided to clean it finally. I discovered that a mouse had gotten trapped in my mess and DIED in my dirty sheets! My brother had to come and take care of it for me. Thanks Carl! That was about the time I realized that piles of clothes are a no-no. However, dust is still my arch nemesis. I HATE dust all over everything, but at the same time, I HATE dusting. So, I finally tackled my filthy, nasty, dirty blinds and they look great! It only took me two days! I bothers me that it takes selling my house to do these projects. Next up, the baseboards and walls and windows! If I had more time to plan this move, maybe it wouldn't seem like such a daunting task, but we have to get it listed in the next week or so. Is there anyone out there who just can't get enough of cleaning that wants to come and do this massive project for me? Where is my mommy when I need her?
