Rest assured that I�m alive and well. I�ve just been having a lot of fun cleaning my house. Yes, cleaning my house. I know, I never thought that I�d hear those words from myself, but there they are, in black and white. Or whatever colors my template is now.
I�ve always had this streak that pops up, every once in a while, that takes great delight in scrubbing something until it shines, but this is different. I discovered this Yah00! Group, at FlyLady.net, and I�m hooked. Cleaning is, dare I say it, fun. I can focus for 15 minutes at a time, and then quit, knowing that eventually, I�ll get it all done. I don�t feel overwhelmed by �How the hell will I ever get this pit the way I want it?� The place is cleaner than it�s ever been, and somehow I still have more time for the kids, and for myself, than I�ve had in longer than I can remember. I don�t have to write housework on my to-do list, or try to remember it, because the group sends out email reminders. Then there�s the perfectly lovely energy that flows through a clean, uncluttered house. It�s wonderful, and I�m really starting to like my job as a�ahem�domestic engineer. It�s so weird, even to me, but the peace I�m now feeling is undeniable. By the way, I don�t get any kickbacks for this raving review; it�s a free thing, anyhow. I just find myself wanting to tell every person I know who runs a household, because I know I�m not the only mom who ever felt stressed out and overworked. Share the love, I always say.
