My girls couldn't believe how clean their house was, and how white their walls were. S was like, "Mom they have white paint! And it's not even dirty!" So I said, "See, others do like a clean home and it's possible! We only have 6 in the house, so what's the deal?"
Speaking of white paint. We are painting our kitchen this week. We had to use two coats of primer to cover up the green paint in our kitchen. Today we paint it white, with a semi-gloss washable paint. I have to be able to clean the walls often. Since for some reason (kids?) , our walls always get grimey. Here comes the turbo part. We have a list of to do's that have to be done before this Saturday. On Sunday our French exchange student arrives. Here's the list, and you'll see why it's a turbo Spring cleaning.
- Paint Kitchen
- Paint pantry
- Paint bathroom cupboards
- Replace cupboard hinges
- Lay vinyl by front entrance

And so the list grows. Can I do it? Can we get this much accomplished in 6 days?
Stay tuned to find out if we're overly optimistic or just plain insane. Maybe both.
