There are days I live this moto! I just feel like it and I do it, it is cathartic. Try my method trust me it helps.
Yesterday, was just one big rush. So many clients, and I was trying to get the master bed and bath spring cleaned. Of course, I thought it would only take and hour but.... Kim plans God laughs!
I was a running sweaty mess when I got a call that I might have to play prelude for a funeral today. My nails had been through the garden planting and all the yard work the last two weeks. I called a got a 2 o'clock appointment for the shameful hands. Rushed to that rushed home to finish up bedroom, still had not sewed a darn thing and I had a list.
I persevered and finished my quota about 7 p.m. Sissie and Dan up for dinner so I did not cook. Dan did my watering bless him. Sissie stayed the night as she needed my car first thing in the morning for dump runs. My car is an SUV with a hatch back and it can hold a lot of junk, compared to her sedan.
One of my goals after I complete all my savings challenges for the year is to get an old beater pickup. We three sisters need one so badly. But that is down the road...no pun intended.
I went to a funeral today, for a friend who passed from liver failure. She never drank. She was brilliant a true academic. She was very different which was why I was attracted to her. The world is not kind to people who are different. And I am afraid church people are the worst to people who are different. So much for the Saviors teachings. Felt so sorry for her Husband and daughter. It was a lovely service. Now I am home and ready to get to work. I have to pick up Kelsa at 3 today but will need to leave no later than 2:30. That does not give me much time to sew. But I will continue into the evening.
My master bath is so clean it sparkles. I still have to clean the master bedroom windows, and some little monster spilled something in the doorway of the bedroom. So, I will need to borrow Sissies carpet cleaner to get up what I suspect is chocolate milk. Hmmm I wonder who?
Today I have a suit to alter and a dress for a June wedding and also two other dresses to shorten. Then I have a raft of Sherrif bullet proof vests to mend. Holsters tear the crap out of police uniforms. I am constantly patching and mending uniforms where the gun has rubbed a hole in the vest or shirt.
I have a lot to do in the shop right now, so I am hoping it does not derail my spring-cleaning plans. I want to do the family room and front room next. We will see. I just have to fit it in as I can.
Every morning now I have to check on the chickens and fill feeder or fresh water, then I check on the garden for moisture. I have newly planted gras that must be kept moist, so I water twice a day. I just have to put that in a pattern as I am so scatter brained. I really struggle with consistency. I can get a lot done but I spray (like a male cat ( now that is vision)). It is so hard to follow a consistent plan and path for me. I have to really concentrate. It drives Sissie crazy. Too bad!
I am now singing the Broadway tune, I gotta be me!!!!
Okay so what is next on your list to spring cleaning jobs. I need to know so I can compete. I am very competitive, and it will keep me motivated.
I am off to start ripping the sleeves on a suit jacket, maybe I can get this done before I have to leave. Wish me luck!
Have a great and productive day
God is good

lol. Well my new windows and door are to be installed a week from Friday. As far as cleaning goes, you win!!!! lol. Hope Sluggy made it safely to Pennsylvania! Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteWow new windows and door sounds like it will be beautiful. Make sure they clean the windows before they go! :)
DeleteLOL about you have to know our spring cleaning moved so you can compete. Hey, I managed to clean off the broken finch egg on the front porch (that had set up on the concrete) after a long full day. If there's a competition in that one, Kim, I will gladly cede the title to you!
ReplyDeleteI just have to stay motivated and it is so hard.
DeleteSpring cleaning has finally been completed here. Drapes are washed, dried and hung back up. I decided that Harvey can clean his own man cave, but knowing me that will change and I will be sneaking down and doing one or two things each morning before he gets up.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Okay I hail thee the winner!. Now I have to get busy.
DeleteI am glad I am not called different. I prefer to be called delightfully odd. IF you tell people that upfront, they expect it. If that doesn't work I have been known to bribe with chocolate.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I love you.

ReplyDeleteTruth here! Judgment at every turn even though: "Judgment is mine, sayeth the Lord." I feel for all my LGBTQ family and friends in this country and fear for their safety. We married just after 19th birthday and moved away for college. My little hometown was waiting for us to show up with the baby that supposedly caused it all thanks to rumors going around at the church I grew up in. (never did have that baby and at 45years, don't think it's coming).
YAY for sparkling rooms! Maybe if I follow your post-spring-cleaning joy, I could be motivated to do it here? lol
I know it is sad that the most religious are often the most judgy.
