One room is NOT a complete failure.....that is a HUGE accomplishment!!!!

I would say maybe you could do one small thing each day while you are working next week but I know how difficult that is & when I try to even do a small thing, it looks like I haven't done anything.


At least you don't have spider filled cupboards in your kitchen you need to clean out. I was actually doing some cleaning in my master bathroom (the one I use all the time). I lifted up the table cloth that I had laying over a little cabinet.....& there under it was a HUGE wolf spider. I screamed & ran out of the bathroom, trying to find my bug spray. I am so bad with bug spray....I can stray the whole container on one bug just to try & make sure it dies....dang...I might as well squish it but that grosses me out too.

It takes too much time to have to clean everything so thoroughly & it's exhausting.......I got 4 loads of laundry done....I do down to the basement & it's covered in spider webs because I hadn't gone down to do laundry for quite awhile....& there were baby spiders climbing down the webs.....I spray & spray & the next week.....they are all back......I'm doubting that I will ever get ahead since I have gotten so far behind.....so I understand your :sad:.......it can be sooooooo frustrating IMO & then I get discouraged.......& just hope the health department doesn't find out how bad things are before I get most of it straightened up. I only have 2 rooms that I would call acceptable.....the little room I moved into for my bedroom when I moved out of the master bedroom when I had the new linoleum installed.....(trying to get it organized back into a craft & working room for ironing & sewing).....but forget the rest of the house......want to get the family room somewhat cleaned up as it has the plants that I brought in last winter that ended up dying because some issues came up & depression hit & watering plants wasn't even on my priority list. My dog & I walked into the family room a few months ago & there was a huge lizard. I don't know where he got away to....but figured if it knew how to get in, it would know how to get out.....tried to catch the little lizard that I found in the master bedroom the other day but it got away before I could catch it.......I love country living.....all except for the bugs.....my other hate are the millipedes .....all bugs bite me if they get on me.....so I have a real thing about getting into areas that I can't see & don't know are safe.....too many dangerous spiders around here that I know people have been bit by & I don't want to be one of those people......so in my over cautious way.....I procrastinate doing anything.
