I'm going to give myself a deadline of Halloween to get this house decluttered, cleaned underneath, and some odd jobs done.   Then it'll be ready for the holidays.  Hard to think about that now but I'm sure that they'll be here before we know it.  That will be 13 total weeks so I can spread it out to do a little each week and have it done painlessly (hopefully).  I'm just copying and pasting my previous lists below - some things will probably need to be tweaked as I'm sure my house is set up differently now than it was last November, the last time I got real heavy cleaning done (can't believe it's been so long!).
