You gotta get messy to get Clean

An important lesson my mom tried to teach me as a child..... You gotta get messy to get clean.  My mom would say, "go clean your room." Grudgingly I would do just that, now in the process, anything I found while cleaning that I thought: was interesting, I didn't know where it went, or I was too lazy to put in the correct spot, went to one of two places, shoved under the bed, or I put it on me.  By then end of cleaning time I was randomly dressed up. I would run tell my mom I was done and she would come for the inspection. 

The inspection was the worst part because I was so proud of how clean my room was. Unfortunately every time, I was shattered, she would  look under the bed and pull everything out and then she would go to the closet and pull everything out. 

Frustration??? Yes, it was coming out my ears. Now my room was messier than it was when  began. Cleaning days  were so awful. Then Heather came up with the idea to start by pulling everything out to make an island on the floor then piece by piece we would put things away to get rid of the island. It worked and it was fun when we did it together but with her not around I find I have reverted to the stuffing method.

As you know Jordan and I are moving on Monday to Salt Lake, now the problem with moving is this that you have to clean. No the problem with this kind of cleaning is that  when your done it is pretty obvious if you stuffed stuff under the bed or in the closet, So you can't actually do that and get away with it. Therefore, it has to get messy to get clean, and I tell you what our apartment is exactly that.... completely messy, but that means by Monday we should be reaching clean.  What can I say, Happy Easter.
