Ugh.

I hate the early stages of cleaning up a big mess that's grown over a month or so.  It always seems to make things worse, at first.  It's going to take a few days' constant work (and finding places for things) before my kitchen is presentable.  Probably the same for the living room and the hall bathroom. 

I hope I can get it done in the three weeks of four hour child-free time blocs.
