The first week of Operation: Clean House went excellent. It felt really good to take care of the daily things. I could feel my stress level drop. I was much more fun to be around.
This is Week 2. We added on the once-a-week chores on top of the daily chores. Monday, I came home from a 12 hour day and we happily swept and vacummed the downstairs, cooked dinner, ate and cleaned the kitchen. Tuesday, I came home from another 12 hour workday, and I happily cleaned all 3 toilets while Bean cleaned the sinks and shower downstairs.
That's right, he cleaned the shower a day early!
Wednesday was not as good. We didn't do anything. I don't know why.
Thursday, Bean did take out (some) of the trash. I did not move the recycling to the big bin because it was raining. But he did teach me how to do his billing for work so I can help relieve some of his stress.
Today, I swept/vacummed upstairs, straightened up the office and took out the trash from up here. I have confidence that we can stay on top of this cleaning issue. Except for the pan we left in the sink last night and the shirt that was left on a table downstairs. Why is there a shirt on a table downstairs?!
I guess it's a work in progress, and we did pretty well so far, so I won't sweat the small stuff.
Last weekend we also made some improvements to the house including 2 large pieces of artwork and a new table for the entryway. I am so excited to come home at the end of the day now because it's now a place to relax, not a place to stress out about cleaning to be done.
Except for the garage... now that's a different story.
