They Got the Whole World in Their Hands........

Sometimes in life it just feels like you have a lot on your shoulders. It seems where ever you turn there is more (laundry) things to do. I do not think that there is ever a time when you can just sit down and say, "I have everything finished. There is not a single thing left for me to do." I have instructed help with this. I have been living in my house now for about 2 years and it's a disaster area!! How can one accumulate so many "treasures". My sister has introduced me to Fly Lady. I have started her program and I have accomplished a lot of things. My sink is shinny and my dishwasher, well it still needs unloaded, and I am not wearing my shoes, but I do have a shinny sink!! I think it's kinda neat having a cleaning "coach". It kinda lifts the world off my shoulders.

Or I can just enlist Big Cowpoke to hold it up for me. Wow, that is nice to have someone take on the load once and a while. But as you can see Cowpokes can get distracted. He couldn't hold onto it for too long. Then I must get some stronger shoulders. I am sure glad I have back up!! Back up that puts dirty clothes in the washer, unloads the dishwasher, and puts away the food after dinner so I won't snack on it and go over my calorie limit. I am sure glad I have my back up. Thank you for being there for me!!

There are also times when you just have to forget about holding up the whole world on you shoulders and just go out and have a good time. Which I do often trying to avoid my household duties.

I challenge all of you to stop what you are doing, (not before commenting please) an go out and have some fun!!!

Fun shmun. There is laundry to be folded and dinner to be made and floors to sweep and mop. Fun is for sissies who can't take the heat. Oh wait, that's me!

We're headed to the church's rodeo tonight, and that's a TON of fun.

I like Flylady ok, but that whole "have to wear shoes" thing does her in as far as I am conerned. I don't wear shoes unless I absolutely have to. Nice blog - I will be back to check it out some more!
