Workin' Hard

I'm not sure what it is - second trimester bliss, nesting, or just in the mood for spring cleaning, but I'm sure that I have never felt this energetic in my life!! Despite having intense pelvic pain again this pregnancy, and feeling like my tailbone is about ready to fall off, I am getting tons accomplished. So far this week I have cleaned out the car, cleaned the garage, including organizing the outside toys, cleaned out all my laundry room cabinets (which is one whole wall), cleaned out most of the kitchen drawers and cabinets, cleaned out my closet, dresser, and even the dreaded, dusty under the bed area, washed, ironed, and hung back up some of my curtains, and I will not stop until I've cleaned out every closet/ cupboard / drawer in this house! So far I have thrown away about 6 garbage bags of junk, and sacked up 3 big bags of stuff to donate to our church rummage sale in June. I feel like I need to make more room before the baby comes, and I'm hoping, in my haste, I didn't get rid of too many of my clothes just because they don't fit me right now! I got rid of a huge black garbage bag of clothes! In addition to that I'm finding myself doing things that I normally do once a week, like scrubbing the floors, about every other day. I just can't get my floors clean enough, people!! I can't even stand having dirty clothes in the hamper right now, and am finding myself washing one shirt at a time as soon as I take it off, what a waste, somebody stop me!! This is so not me, usually I seem to let the laundry pile up, or think the floors can go just one more day (or two, or three) before being scrubbed. Anyway, I better get back to work, the hallway closet is next, as well as washing windows outside. And I'll leave you with a few pictures. I'm not the only one tidying up around here, Isabella has been "helping" me clean inside, as well as helping Daddy get the yard in tip top shape.

They got a few things planted in the garden.

Resting on the porch afterward.
