This blog is really off subject from my usual blogs….well kinda…okay, yeah it really is but I’m going to share anyway.
Do you ever just get a wild hair and strong desire to change things?! I think we all do. And I don’t know about you but it’s not exactly easy to rearrange big, heavy furniture so I typically change things with decoration, accents, etc. However, today that was not the case.
While cleaning my bedroom this morning, I became overwhelmed with a STRONG desire to rearrange my bedroom. As I stood there looking at the room and creating my new arrangements in my head, the thought did occur to me that it was going to be REALLY difficult to move my dresser and bed. But then I thought, hey I’ve been working out and have muscles like I’ve never had, I can do this! HAHA….yeah, not what I was saying as I was on the floor trying to move the dresser across the room. It was a mixture of pulling, starting out in a squatted position and using ALL of my core muscles and arms to slide this big humongous dresser--that suddenly felt 100 pounds heavier than it really is. Then, when I’d pulled all I could pull, I’d get on the other side and either use a heavy piece of furniture or the wall to plant my feet and push with all my might. I’m telling ya, no workout was needed for today.
Okay, that’s probably not true, but I’d be curious to see how many calories I burned while moving all this furniture. Hmmmm…that’s another good reason why I need to get a bodybugg. Those things are really cool! Okay, total sidetrack.
Anyway, so this is all something that we should do often but if you’re anything like me it doesn’t get done enough…..cleaning under and behind furniture. Oh my stars, it was DISGUSTING!! But as I’d move something and unveil carpet that doesn’t ever get vacuumed, I’d vacuum and seriously y’all I had to dust the walls! I swear we have one of the dustiest houses EVER, but this was SUPER gross!!
Whew, it’s definitely a process rearranging a room (I’m seriously becoming fatigued all over again just talking about it) but after working my butt off all morning heaving and ho’ing our furniture from one side of the room to another, the gratification of the results are magnificent!! I am admiring it’s new beauty as I sit here typing this blog and it’s wonderful. LOVE it!!
I’m not sure what freshness does for the brain but it has to have something to do with the super high I’m feeling this afternoon! Hmmm….perhaps I’ll go do some research and share the results!
So tell me, how do you keep things fresh around your house…or just with life in general?

ReplyDeleteI always get the itch to change things and move furniture around. I probably do it weekly if the BF wasn't around to stop me. Our house gets dusty too. I think it's all houses. Sometimes we just need to really take a day to move the furniture around to clean and dust and vaccum. I know I don't do it enough and I am sure we are not alone. I was hoping to see pics of your newly re-arranged bedroom. =( That's okay I'm sure you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteCome see my Halloween Spooktacular I'm having on blog today. You have 5 boys, bless you. I can barely handle the one wild child I have. You are my hero!!
There only seems to be so many ways you can arrange it in a small room. It's fun though...and then you get to clear ou all the toys from under the couch! BONUS! :)
