Cleaning...cleaning...cleaning!

All went well yesterday with training the new girl. She listened to my instructions and did a good job. The second job I cleaned yesterday was an empty house the owners needed to move in the next day. It ended up taking 2 hours longer than I'd estimated, but I was able to finish it. Today I woke up with a headache, and realized I'd had a mild one off and on all day yesterday. Thankfully it's already going away without medicine. Because of the headache I'm starting a little later on my... Sign in to see full entry.

Help with Cleaning

Last night one of our part-time employees texted me to say she was able to get a baby sitter, but my husband had already scheduled someone to help him with the job she was going to do with him. I asked her if she'd like to help me clean a house and she said yes. Even with the extra time it will take to train her, it should save me at least an hour. I hope she's able to listen to instructions and do it the way I ask. She seems to like to do things her way on the other jobs. I hope we can work... Sign in to see full entry.

News of the Day

Today a lady called me and her parents are moving into a new house and it needs a deep-clean. I caved in and am going to do it.

I need it. Other happenings... Sign in to see full entry.

Road trip?

I looked at my planner and may be able to free up some time to take a couple of short trips. The first one would be to see my daughter who is turning 18. One of my other daughters and I are trying to get a book together for her for her friends to add pages to. We started so late, that I hope it's not a flop! This visit would be for a few days. The 2nd one, I could actually take 2 weeks, if my husband can do without me that long. First to go to a wedding of my close friends' daughter. After that... Sign in to see full entry.

Should I make a 10 year goal?

I know I don't work a 40 hour week, but it feels like 60 sometimes. I've been thinking a lot about the next 10 years. The last 10 have gone by so fast! I'm not old yet, but I know it will creep up on me. Staying healthy is a top priority. In some ways working keeps me strong, and if I didn't I would be tempted to sit around all day and could easily gain 10 pounds. I know the next 10 years will also go by fast. I am constantly in prayer about what we should be doing. Should we move closer to our... Sign in to see full entry.
