My Birthday Present to Myself

So it's my birthday this week and no I really haven' been excited about turning the big three-O. I convinced Steven to go on the cruise and so therefore I really am not expecting anything else. I just want to handout and feel horrible about turning thirty. But I did think of something a few weeks ago that I decided would make me feel good about myself so I decided for my birthday I was going to get some help cleaning my house. No, no, no, not the bathrooms or the mundane stuff, I mean the really deep cleaning stuff. Walls, baseboards, above cabinets, under beds, through the kitchen cabinets and re-organize all the crap I just threw in my cabinets when I moved it. Washing the bedding,through the old cloths, moving furniture, through the junk draws, under the washer and dryer, behind the fridge and just all the stuff you want to organize and clean but just don't ever do!!
So since I know I would never do this on my own, I enlisted the help of a cleaning women and for four days we went through my entire house. Today was the last day and I have to admit, I didn't want to touch my kitchen cabinets, inside or out, but it was the last thing on the list. There is nothing in my house that has not been re-organized the past few weeks. I broke it up into two days last week and two days this week so I could also do a few things by myself during the week. How do I feel? Great! I will do this again for the 35th birthday!!

I honestly never knew I had so many usable items in this drawer! I just know I would swear when looking for my check book all the time!

I love to bake, but this place was a nightmare! Now everything is even labeled!

My walls and all my baseboards are clean!!

You can come look under anything and everything and it looks like this! (This is under my dresser!)
