One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Stay Open to New Experiences

on
In the movie Love Jones , the male lead says, "romance is about the possibility of the thing." I agree with that. However, I think that the concept is more universal. life--truly living--is about the possibility of the thing. For a while, I was sleep walking through life, doing what was required without truly embracing it. Recent events have caused me to re-evaluate that and to embrace life and all of its limitless possibilities.   And romance, is about love. Over the past year I have become committed to falling back in love with my life. New relationships have made that love affair possible. And, I don't take them for granted. Creating space for new relationships and making new friends as a single, working mom, and creating space is not easy. But it is necessary.

They say that cleanliness is next to Godliness. However, while I am angelic (no comments from my sister Jeryn allowed) and I am close to living my best life I struggle to keep my house clean.  I mean I really struggle.  Anybody who comes over with short notice gets a disclaimer, "You can come over, but it's really messy here..."

It's actually not THAT bad, but I figure that I should under promise and over deliver. That way folks won't complain about the toys on the floor and the dishes in the sink.

Still, I wish I didn't have to issue a disclaimer.  Instead, I wish that there was an "Easy Button" of sorts that made housework go "by by". I haven't found it yet, but this computer trick that I found from Jenni is the next best thing!

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR HOUSE:


1. Open a new file in your PC.

2. Name it 'Housework.'

3. Send it to the RECYCLE BIN.

4. Empty the RECYCLE BIN.

5. Your PC will ask you, 'Are you sure you want to delete Housework permanently?'

6. Calmly answer, 'Yes' and press mouse button firmly

Don't we wish that it could be that easy?!  Now, if only I could find an "Easy Button" for picking winning Lottery Numbers!!!
