Day 6------30 days of Joy

Today my joy is having a clean house, wow, does that ever feel good. I am one of those who can not relax until all the work is done. If i sit down I see a million things that need doing. So if i can reach the point that everything is clean at the sane time then i am in heaven. I have been off work for some time now and I go back on Monday. I have all these goals i want to achieve before i get back into the rat race. You know the ones, clean closets, junk drawers, purge so that i won't wind up on that Hoarder Show on TLC. I also want to get my yard prepared for fall and then, Christmas is just around the corner.

I have always wanted my house to look like a magazine cover, and i have to say it pretty much did, until hurricane Abbie came along. Ok ,what is it about children that they just have to mess up in order to enjoy themselves. She is like the little "PIG PEN" guy on Charlie Brown. Every room she enters she leaves a trail of stuff behind her. She has never been much of a toy child, it's always been paper, pencils, dress up clothes, colors and beads( you know those that you step on in the middle of the night, and wake everybody up with your scream). She is absolutely a walking disaster area. I have been trying to teach her how to organize and pick up after herself , but boy is this a slow never ending process. Any suggestions?????

At any rate my home is clean for the day and hopefully it will stay this way for at least a day. If anyone wants to see it clean you better come over asap cause it won't stay this way long. So today I am full of Joy , cause the maid finally showed up. But I have to tell you she can hardly walk, every muscle is sore and still she feels blessed to be able to sit back and enjoy what she has done, cause no one can do it like I can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
