Today we had massive storms come screw everything up for a lot of people. I don't know what the death toll is right now, but somewhere around nine. There hasn't been any crazy damage or death in Nashville, only a bit of flooding. I think the casualties were mostly in other states, but Smithville, TN was just hit not long ago. Prayers for these people are needed. What a horrible way to remember Leap Day. In elementary school there was a girl named Emily and she was the only one who had a birthday on Leap Day. She turned "2" in the second or third grade. We all went in and sang happy birthday to her. I don' t think she wanted us to.
So what do I do all day beside think of weird things and how to be three or more places at once? I clean. I clean my house, I clean the houses of others. I make art. I improve life. I'm not going to be shy about it. That is what I do. I come in and I make it better. I don't mean to sound braggy or full of myself. None of it would be possible without the blessings that God chooses to bestow me with. I believe He wants me to spend my time this way. I hope He wants me to spend time getting my degree....sooner or later it is happening. (please.)
Cleaning is not a cheap business. I have to laugh when I see people on craigslist who want to pay a professional cleaner $10 an hour to deep clean, do dishes, laundry and babysitting. HA. 'Scuse? I don't really do baby-sitting unless it's on the side and separate from cleaning. I really haven't done it in years. Kids are cool, I just haven't had the notion.... Yeah, I get that someday I'll be a mom and no one will pay me to clean my house. That is a-okay because when that time comes, I'll be a different person in many ways.
Cleaning is good for the soul. Or mine at least. I know it can seem overwhelming, daunting, tedious, awful. It can be difficult if you've never been taught or don't have a working system to manage it. So, since I clean like a beast I'm putting together some lists, tips and tricks to share with my readers. Feel free to post a link to it whenever I post it. ( I love when you share.)
I'm going to try and make cardboard frames tonight for the Southeast Regional Prom that my church hosts. If that goes well, maybe I'll post a tutorial. I've never done one of those before. ^_^ Should be fun. We have to cut and paint them ourselves. Love me some crafts. I need to do more of it. I'm shooting for the goal of one per week. For my sanity.
