Last week, after I picked up the house in preparation for the cleaning lady to get there, I thought to myself, "I really miss my old cleaning lady. She did such a better job!" So, with that, I let my cleaning lady go, and I hired my old cleaning lady - me! :-) The first thing I did was scrub my kitchen floor. I was so disgusted by what I saw in my bucket after I got done that I continued to clean the living room and entrance way floors as well. Wow! Did I feel amazing after that!!
Many of you that know me know that I had incorporated FlyLady into my life when I lived back in Troy. When I first moved out here, I didn't use FlyLady, but I really didn't even have time to think for myself because of trying to survive work and school (hence the hiring of the cleaning lady). Well, I am back at it full steam, and I can't even tell you how much my life has already changed since I started back at it. I love her daily routines, her zone cleaning, and her tools. She is a God sent!! My house looks, feels, and smells clean again...plus, my house is getting cleaned deeper than it has in a very long, long time. If you have never heard of FlyLady, I strongly encourage you to try it out, go to FlyLady.net. Even if you can't do it all, she teaches to jump in where you are, babysteps, progress not perfection! I am excited to see how the system will work once the kids get here. The kids, though, are so helpful. I hardly ever have to ask them twice to do anything. Their rooms are usually quite tidy, and the "family areas," as we call them, are always spotless. We have an agreement in our house that I respect their areas (their rooms) if they respect the other parts of the home...so I don't really harp on them too much about how messy their rooms are. Well, except for the clothes. They know that is the only real thing that gets me in a tizzy, LOL. But I have come up with a system for keeping that at bay as well, so all is really good.
Matt and I have been making some great progress on our eating journey. We bought a dehydrator this past week and are now experimenting with "living on live food." Currently, we are in the process of making sweet potato chips, banana chips and bread...all raw. We are juicing 2 to 3 times a day now, and have almost removed the animal protein from our diet. I am feeling really really good. I know that we have a long way to go, but knowing my husband and how diligent he has become with this food regimen, we will be on a very steady course soon.
On that note, love one another. God is Love...and that is exactly what he wants us to be.
Good night friends.
