when you marry someone who hates cleaning as much as you do (or maybe more)!!!!
I have to say that I am quite embarrassed to show everyone the "before" pictures, but I am more proud to show the "after" pictures of our kitchen that I spent today cleaning, and I mean cleaning. Scrubbing walls, scrubbing the floor. It wasn't fun, but I feel very accomplished and HOPEFULLY I can keep it as clean as it is now!!!
Here are the "before" shots:
This is a shot of the kitchen from the living room entrance.. disgusting isn't it!
The sink and stove full of dishes... Just how many dishes you ask?
Our cabinets were completely empty... That's how many!!!
The desk full of crap that we had no where else to put, and it became the "catch all" for anything and everything!
And now for the "after" pics!!!!!!!!!!
From the living room entrance... Quite a difference isn't it?!?!
Why yes we do have dishes, and quite a few, see how full the cabinets get? You can only imagine having to do all those dishes!!!
We really do have a sink, a small counter and a stove!!!!
A shot from the laundry room entrance. The bad thing about the kitchen is that there is NO counter space, so appliances end up making a home on the table. But hey at least you can tell there is a table now!
Here's one of the laundry room with the new washer and dryer!!! It is a very small room, so I couldn't get that great of a picture. But you can see I decided to use that desk to put the cats food on rather than what we had been using! It really worked out well!!!
And so that is what I have been working on all day!! Like I said, I am very proud of myself!!! Now I am going to take a short nap and relax for a bit before I begin the...
LIVING ROOM!!!!!!!!
It's really not as bad as it looks. Most of the stuff sitting around was moved in there from the kitchen so it's just the going through and organizing. Then dusting and all that stuff. It should not take long. Hopefully I can get it done before Josh gets home (he's working late tonight) and REALLY surprise him!!!!!!

That is AWESOME!!!!! I would call you, but you are going to take a nap so I will call you later. Love, Jen
It looks great!!! :)
wow, i did not know you got a new desk, i spent so much time organizing the old one.... sniff sniff
oh I know the feeling of having to wash allll of those dishes all too well. My husband and I both HATE cleaning. Our house often looks like a disaster. Just recently I really started getting into it. I hope it stays! LOL You did an awesome job tho. you must have been exhausted afterwards! I know how hard it is with both of you working too tho. When I was working I didn't want to do much of anything when I got home let alone cleaning, that is for sure.
