Many of you know I run an inhome preschool and after school program. I live in a town that insists on tight regulations on day cares! I like this. Our Health inspector is tough and I like that too. I know....but I have very strong feelings about what children should experience while in daycare of any kind.
So this week was my annual health inspection. This should not freak me out..I am pretty tough on myself about the rules and regs, sanitation and care giving. But..this year the clutter got away from me a bit. I have not been able to get my Fall reorder finished..the clutter has been making me nuts. Not dirty..just lots of stuff ..waiting for a place to be. So this last Sunday...it was all about the reordering of the whole upstairs. You know one of those jobs that you have to make a mess before you can put it back together again!! I don't think I realized how much the clutter was bothering me..stopping me from doing other things like...art..relaxation..being happy!!! Yikes!! I know...I'm kind of anal about the clean thing.
So yesterday he was here and did his inspection. I passed with flying colors, he even said it had been a while since he had not had to offer a single suggestion for improvement!!! Snap! Then he wanted too see my artwork..Looove it!! I feel like a new woman. Not only am I official for the next year..I have my organized house back.. Whooo hoo!! I feel like a new woman!! Whoot!

Sarah, WOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOO! Go girl! Those inspectors do not mess about, and you showed them how it is done! Well done, I am so happy for you! In fact I come bearing a gift, it is over on my blog! ((BIG SQUISHY HUGS!!))
Way to go, Sarah! All that, plus good feng shui now that the clutter is gone!
Yeah! I remember those days! Do you ever get surprise visits. I don't miss those. Teaching was one of my very favorite things. I'm so happy for you I'm doing the happy dance for you! I miss circle time! :)
Sarah!!! Come over here and organize me!! Pa-leeeeeeeeeeez. haha! Congrats on that - you are one busy woman!
Good for you!!! So so awesome.
Congratulations, Sarah! You've shed your last year's dusty energy, and now have new positive charged ones in place, ready to buoy you up, and keep you going!
(I'm sending you directions to my house, under separate cover! What time shall I expect you? lol)
And DARN - I didn't get my TA-DA! Tuesday post up today!
Happy you got through the essential inspection stuff without any hitches and soooooo pleased you were rewarded as well with an interest in your art work. How nice --- BUT....
a post celebrating organization and conquering clutter ought to MANDATORILY include tips for getting there too!
HIGH FIVES!
Bravo! Sometimes those arbitrary, external deadlines help us to do what we wanted to do all along!
Congratulations!!! That is so totally cool and I bet you can relax now! I know exactly how you feel about clutter. I feel the same way with a really dirty house and floors not vacuumed...I just can't seem to focus! Thanks for the inspiration!
You can breathe again, and at the same time look around and see the product of you hard work. I too need to be organized so I can focus and create.
Yay! That is fabulous! Can you come organize my house next? :)
Is the picture part of your home? I'd love to have a setup like that in my studio/office. It would be perfect!
