Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

House Work for the birds?

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!!!

Oh wouldn't that make life so much easier?! Everyone gets a disclaimer if they decide to drop by our house!

That would be perfect! I always give the messy house disclaimer too, only it really IS that bad. :)
