Memory Verse for the week (Feb 21-27):
Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.1 Samuel 12:24
Spring Cleaning, Week 1 - The Bathroom (and Hallway Closet)
Do to the quirky British custom of having a toilet in one room and a sink and bathtub in another, my bathroom cleaning plan might sound a little funny at times. Without further ado and in an order that will NOT be strictly adhered to, I give you THE CHECKLIST:
- Dust ceiling and walls of both rooms
- Sort through bathroom cabinet and toss excess
- Clean cabinet inside and out (and on top)
- Organize and clean both window ledges
- Sort through bathroom literature and recycle outdated magazines
- Organize and clean toiletry hanger in the shower
- Clean shower and tub
- Wash shower curtain
- Clean sink
- Clean toilet
- Clean ledges behind toilet and sink
- Wash rug
- Restock toilet paper in basket
- Replace old hand towel with a clean one
- Take out trash and put in new trash bags
- Vacuum the floors
The more things on my list, the more I get to check off. I feel like singing the Count Dracula's counting song on Sesame Street.
- Take all linens out of closet
- Wipe down shelves
- Vacuum the dust bunnies out of hidden spaces
- Sort through linens and eliminate excess
- Replace everything in a sensible order
- Stand back and survey the work
- Sigh with relief - and try not to dread the work that the kitchen will require
