Why On Earth Am I Doing It While It Is 90+ Degrees Out?

I asked myself that while I dripped with perspiration at 10 o'clock in the morning. But it's something that I have put off and needs to be done...so heat or no heat, I'm going to tackle it. Yes, today I am going to start tearing apart each room (as energy levels permit) and deep clean the house. I normally try to do this in the Fall as it is much cooler than the Spring to do it, but I am either way behind on Spring or way early on Fall. I am leaning toward it being a mixture of both.

(Phase 1 -- The Living Room)

We recently had to let one of our Rat Terriers in the house as she was not faring well outside with the big dogs. They get along great but one is such a glutton that he eats everyone's food and the Rat Terrier was starving because of him. So now with 2 small-ish dogs in the house along with the 3 cats...you can safely bet that I am not enjoying this at all!!! love my animals but I will say, I enjoy clean more, so it has been an everyday battle with pet hair, cat litter and to my nose...pet odors. Hubby says he can't smell anything but to my nose....GROSS!!! So it's time to take the rugs out and give them a good wash as best I can, wipe down walls and baseboards and just make it as fresh as I can. I doubt I'll get the entire house done this week in between life and other things I need to take care of, but I am going to give it my best to get as much as possible accomplished. So if my postings are a bit scarce this week, you will know why.

**Note to self....hang the rug out on the line before you get it wet....it makes things lighter and much easier to maneuver.
