In all the sorting, organizing, tossing, and packing, things are starting to look like a real disaster around here. That doesn't sound a bit organized, does it? It's just that there are piles of stuff here and piles of stuff there with everything being sorted out - what goes, what gets tossed, what gets donated, etc. Along with all that boxes are starting to stack up and newspapers and packing materials are scattered everywhere. It's quite a change from all that time I kept the house as close to perfect as possible just in case we'd have a showing.
I'm sure I'll need to clean everything up again before we leave. And now I'm trying to figure out when exactly I'll have time for that. Sometime after everything is packed up and out of the house I'll just have to do it. I'm not sure exactly how much cleaning I need to do, but I'll have to at least sweep and vacuum and probably wipe down the bathrooms. It would be a lot easier to just find somewhere I could Click Here and get someone to come in and clean the floors for me, but maybe that's what the buyers will do. I just need to leave it decent. I think. I'm not really sure how much I'm supposed to do.
I remember doing the last-minute cleaning at our old house before I was ready to load the kids, the cat, the dog, and all the last-minute stuff into the car and head to Wisconsin. I wanted to leave everything perfect. And then that night we got to Wisconsin and got to the apartment we were going to be living in for the next several months - and it was a dark, dirty mess. I'm sure the apartment complex was supposed to have someone clean before a new tenant moved in, but they didn't. It was very frustrating going from my nice clean house to that. I'd like to leave the house so that whoever comes in here won't feel like they have to clean before they can touch anything. OK, even if I don't do any cleaning at all, it won't be that bad. But I'll probably do it anyway.
At least one of the guys from the moving companies that came to give us an estimate added my vacuum cleaner to the inventory and included it in the list of items to be moved. Nope, that's not gonna work...
