Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning!!!!

I have been cleaning almost non-stop for days now! The entire house smells like bleach and my washing machine has not stopped running in four days.

Basically I am doing Spring cleaning in the fall. In an effort to get Jude's allergies under control everything in the house is is getting washed, scrubbed, dusted, bleached, etc.. I even had Jerry bring over his Dyson vacuum. Even after just vacuuming with my vacuum, the Dyson still swept up THREE canisters full for dust/dirt!! I really think a Dyson vacuum needs to move up the list from a "someday luxury" to a "necessity", especially with Jude's allergies.

After today the entire upstairs will have been scrubbed completely! That includes windows washed, curtains washed, everything dusted-including baseboards, furniture moved and swept under, beds completely stripped and washed, etc. The curtains in Jude's room will not go back up.

I still need to rent a carpet shampooer and shampoo all the carpets. We will also be removing the carpet in Jude's room and replacing it with hardwood flooring.
