So it's a late night tonight. I've been cleaning and organizing almost all day. Some times it takes getting the kids out of the house to get the major cleaning and organizing done that has been put off. Or for that matter has never been done after say like a move. If you don't get it organized and cleaned it wears on the family and cause "a disturbance in the force" of the structure and well being of the family. This disturbance can cause sickness, agitation, and can create even problems with the outside world. Things can't be found so the family is not on time, hygiene is affected, headache and muscle pain are exhibited due to stress.
So does that mean you take a vacation and hire a maid. No. The best solution is to let the kids visit a family member for the weekend or a close friend. That way their somewhere safe and you can stay in communication. Next have a plan. If it's going room to room. Or maybe gathering all clothes, then papers, making beds...and so on. Papers and clothes should be gone through last. If you find your self with a stack of paper wait till you have everything clean, same goes for clothes. If your unsure if clothes fit you or your kids now is not the time to pick threw them or have a fashion show.
Remember you want to get as much done as passible. An I know its easy to throw something up in a closet when the bag is right there and say I'll put it together when I get there. Just do it then. It makes it easier. Its cleaning and making the house or apartment clean and safe for your kids and you to live in. Also don't forget to clean out vents in air conditioners and fans...dust collectors!!! Whether you have allergies or not its not healthy to breath in all that dust and dirt. Well off to have a cup of coffee and get to cleaning and organizing. Hopefully finish what I started yesterday :)
