Fold My Laundry Please

Today I had intended to spend the day cleaning the house.  I’ve gotten a little bit behind on housework lately and once again the bathrooms are begging me to scrub them and my family is getting dressed out of laundry baskets.  But as I maneuvered my way around boxes this morning (no, we still haven’t finished unpacking) I kind of snapped.  Aside from the fact that if my belly gets much bigger, I’d have to grease up to get around the house, the piles are driving me CRAZY!  Most of the boxes that were left hadn’t been unpacked in 3 moves.  As I opened them up, I tossed out a lot of stuff.  There were tons of old papers that needed to be shredded, speakers from computers that we no longer own, clothes that had been boxed up for donation and had somehow never quite made it to the drop off site, wires, cords, and plugs to things unknown, and a bunch of other unexplicably packed things.  Basically, I did a large purging of stuff which was long overdue.  I also moved furniture around and lifted things I probably shouldn’t have.  My back and belly are telling me I should stop, screaming at me actually, but you know how it is when the cleaning bug hits, you don’t want to stop until you’ve totally exhausted yourself.  I’m always afraid it will sit there half done for another week while I "recover" if I don’t finish it right then.  As it is, I’ve gotten through about 3/4 of what was left.  I still have to go through the kitchen and straighten it all up and make it more usable for me and there are 6 small boxes and three large ones left to unpack.  *sigh*  Perhaps that’s what I’ll spend this weekend doing, because I honestly think that if I don’t stop soon, I won’t be able to move for days.
