My girls have clean rooms! It took the better part of a day, but they are clean. Now, we just need them to stay clean long enough that I have the energy to go through the drawers and closet. They definitely need some weeding out. Too many things!

My oldest declared this morning that she really likes it when her room is clean. So, I'm hoping that perhaps it will stay that way (although, confession, I am not holding my breath!).

Even my room is fairly clean. My sister and I are challenging each other in weight loss and house cleaning. My eating goal for the week is not drinking pop. (It's my serious downfall, and I'd probably lose 50 pounds just cutting that out, sigh.) My house cleaning goal is to be sure my bed is made everyday. I did well at this for awhile, but lately, it seems I wake up before my husband and then the bed doesn't get made.

But, I feel we have victory and some peace. Now I just need to keep it moving through all the rooms of the house.
