This weekend, the kids are having their first sleep over at my parents’ house by themselves.
And Mark and I?
Are going to get sweaty.
And dirty.
There’s going to be a lot of heavy breathing.
Yep, that’s right. We’re cleaning the house.
More specifically, we’re tackling the basement (a.k.a. the 3000 sq. ft. rubbish bin), sorting things into keep/toss/donate piles, and doing a whole lot of de-cluttering.
With the hope and intention that we’ll be a lot closer to putting it on the market. And we may even be ready to get some help with general cleaning before we list (I couldn’t get a cleaner if I wanted to right now – there’s too much crap everywhere).
I know it’s no romantic weekend away, but I am really, really grateful that we have this opportunity. I suppose we might be able to fit in a nice meal on Saturday night. But, we’ve got a million and one things to do, and we’ll be focusing on tackling a least a few of them.
(sorry, I generally stay out of the gutter around here – usually)

Not safe for work (sometimes found in the title as a warning before you open a Bloggess or Craftastrophe post!)

Wow. 3000 square foot basement?! Yep, you’re going to need to get rid of A LOT to fit into any Toronto home. Good luck!

Thankfully the basement is mostly only a repository for junk and not actual space we’ve filled. That’s sort of one of the points in moving (for me) – we don’t need all that space. We are currently in a ranch bungalow with a walk out basement, but we only live on one floor.

Hopefully Toronto. The market is scary, though. If not, then Mississauga? Bit farther west? Need to be closer in, but more importantly, more urban. Rural driving me mental. Logistically difficult in so, so many ways.
