Whew, just look at those giant bags!

We have been really busy over here for the last week-and-a-half. My hubby had some vacation time, and I was feeling pretty overwhelmed by the state of our house. Every single spot that you looked was clutter. Finally we said enough, and we went and grabbed the 55 gallon contractor bags, and got to work.

We cleaned the Utility Room, the Dining Room, the Kitchen, the Office, and we barely started on the upstairs closets, and we came up with 10 bags filled with clutter. We also came up with a ton of goodies for a garage sale too.

Today the last of the bags were hauled off, and the house is looking great. We still have a long way to go. We have the entire upstairs to de-clutter, and then there is the living room, it is the main source of messiness in this house, but we are getting there.

I’ve also noticed that I’m not as stressed out as I was. I was feeling really down about the house, but I didn’t have enough energy to tackle the big mess on my own. Having my hubby to help out really was great, and I’m a much happier camper now. We even have some plans to get back to painting the house, now that the mess is all gone.

I am so happy to see those 10 bags out of here!
