Today is Feb 22, 2008

It has been 9 months today since Jonathan was killed.
His birthday was last week, mine was this past Sunday, both have passed uneventfully. For that I am glad.
I wish that Jonathan had not of gotten killed but he did. So now I just have to trust God allowed that to happen for some kind of reason.

Anyway, I don't want to dwell on that too much, so I will talk about what needs to be done this weekend.
First I need to reclean the bathroom completely. I found a video on youtube that shows how to clean the toilet, so I added that to this blog. Maybe I will email it to the kids or my husband. LOL (That would be sorta funny, maybe they would get the hint that I would rather someone else clean the bathroom this time.)

Okay, so enough of that, it is very late and I need to go to bed.

But since your up at the moment I will give you some ideas to help you as you get your home organized and decluttered. Usually the smallest room in anyone's home is the bathroom.

So this is a good place to start with your cleaning and organizing. Remove everything from the bathroom that you do not intend to keep in the bathroom all the time. (even if you will need to put stuff in a box or basket, then set in another room or outside).

Next you will want to clean everything. I would suggest starting with the toilet and floor around toilet. Clean all parts of the toilet, and the floor all around the toilet, and the walls around the toilet.

Next clean and dry trashcan that sets beside toilet. wash, rinse and dry completely. Then put a fresh bag in the trashcan, set back net to the cleaned toilet.

Next check see if need to put more toilet paper on holder if needed place fresh roll on toilet paper holder.

Okay after the toilet the next place to steralize and clean well is the bathtub, clean it completely.Then dry it with a towel.

Remember to toss any empty shampoo bottles, or other containers. Also discard all used disposable razors.

When tub is clean and dry. Make sure that if you keep shampoo, soaps or body wash in the tub that you have restocked any that were empty.

After doing that close the shower curtain if you have shower curtains.

Next dust down any cobwebs that may be in any corners or along edge of ceiling. Then sweep the floor or vacuum it.

Next clean the countertop, any mirrors and sinks. Then mop and dry floor.

Finally make sure towels and washclothes are clean dry and put away neatly. Also make sure that any personal hygiene items are all stocked.

When all above done bathroom is done. So you can close that door and start on next area.

Note, remember to put nothing in bathroom that will not have its home in the bathroom. Only bathroom supplies stay in bathroom. Not toys, books, dishes, stereo's etc. (the bathroom is too small to safely use as a storage room in most homes in my opinion.)

Well now its late and I need to go to bed.

Hope this has been helpful, remember start with getting the bathrooms totally done and then maintain that. Go on to the next area as soon as you have finished the first project.

Be back again soon.
