Welcome to my mess (pics!) SEMI FINAL UPDATE 8/13 NEW PICS!

[pgkcb13]

You could get real ghetto if you just want to get the quilt off the floor for now... binder clips and push pins, lol.

Put the printer up.

You're making great progress, and the rest of your house looks good!

[5PrincessMommy]

good news! USPS will take the boxes back LOL. So, those will go tomorrow. of course after I talked about the printer I needed it. We made book bags for the library, so I printed the girls name in color on those iron on sheets to go on the bags lol. But I don't think I'll need it for a while now, so I think I am going to put it up.

Other than that, i haven't made any more progress! I was out all day yesterday b/c I met up with a DS mama! However, it is my goal to finish it up this week, and then next week the little girls room. That will be harder because my 6 y/o wants to keep everything. My 2 y/o won't care.

Oh, and bonus..I got enough off the floor that dh was able to clean the carpets in here!

Wait. Hold the phone. Your DH cleans carpets? You are a lucky lady!

Great progress, Mama!

[5PrincessMommy]

Hehe, yep, he cleans the carpets once a week, but my room has been neglected because I had too much on the floor, lol. We have 5 kids, including a messy toddler and a baby with reflux, needless to say, the carpet is disgusting if we don't clean it once a week. And the baby started crawling, so her puke isn't contained to a blanket anymore lol

My husband vacuumed recently. We got a new vacuum (the Dyson Digital Slim, which is awesome). He got all excited and took it on a jaunt through the whole house. Then he got over the apparent excitement and hasn't done it again. Bah humbug.

It's looking great!!! Carpets clean once a week? When we had a steam cleaner it only got done about 2-3 times a year!! We usually did the living and entry area 3 and the rest of the house twice a year! WOW if they got done weekly we'd be broke in cleaning solution lol

[5PrincessMommy]

dude, I know, the cleaning solution is not cheap, but the baby seriously throws up constantly, and now that she's crawling around, it ends up all over the floor. Which then tracks dirt, etc. Plus my toddler is super messy. She climbs into cabinets and gets food out and crayons and markers, and oh boy. She has figured out all of my hiding spots too. It just makes our whole house look bad when the carpets are dirty, and then I get grumpy lol.

haha, funny thing is he doesn't vacuum. I vacuum daily or every other day at most, and he always has me vacuum right before he cleans the carpets on Saturdays. He cleans a lot. Way more than me. I do laundry and vacuum. I also do the deep cleaning stuff like baseboards and walls. He does all the daily stuff of dishes and trash. I think he does way more than me But, like I said, he doesn't do any deep cleaning stuff. In my defense, I usually have a baby nursing though.
