Bleach....

I've been on a major cleaning spree here. I am still trying to purge this place of unnecessary stuff. I really must say that I was somewhat traumatized by the whole experience with my neighbor's house. (even thought that was EXTREME, and I know I am being a bit redundant here) In any event, I continue to rid our house of any clutter. I just can't stand it, but I have a way to go. In my quest to simplify my life, I think this is very necessary.

With Christmas coming, I am thinking about all the new stuff that my boys will get. Though we try to keep it simple, inevitably they get more than they need. Hence, we definitely have to get rid of some toys before the holidays. I really don't want to be anxious about too much stuff and not enough space. Rather I want to enjoy all the fun times that Christmas brings; it really is my most favorite Holiday. In fact, I love the entire season.

With that being said. I am off to go fill another trash bag. Oh and I almost forgot.... Getting back to my post title. John had his friend over today and after they both went in the bathroom to wash their hands before lunch, John says, "mom why does this bathroom smell like the YMCA pool?" (at least he didn't compare it to the YMCA bathrooms. Oh that could be another post!)

Well that would be, because I bleached it down to clean it. By the look on his face, you would have thought it was a bad thing or something. (usually I bleach at night when they go to bed) Oh well!
