Good Morning! It's Monday! Come on in and have a cup of coffee with me. We'll have to wake up and talk about things....
Do you have certain days that you set aside to clean? Are you one of the organized people that have everything in order and scheduled down to the minute?
No I'm not, sadly. The funny thing is that in a way that is what I did for a living. I have, in no matter what job I held, organized things; be it paperwork in different offices, people out in the field, or an entire stores merchandise. Yet I don't do it at home. How can that be, you may ask? I am asking that same question.
Maybe it's like that phrase "The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes."
Origin unknown; however the essence of this phrase is used to describe
the phenomenon where certain 'professionals' in any given area are so
busy with work for their clients and their teams that they neglect using
their professional skills to help themselves or those closest to them.
For example - the painter & decorator who never decorates his own
house, the web designer that hasn't finished their website, or the
accountant who is late in submitting his own tax return!(credit)
There I've admitted it I have no organization in my own home! I'd rather be sewing instead of mopping, painting something instead of cleaning the bathroom, gardening instead of vacuuming. Cooking instead of doing the dishes. Maybe I need a maid, or maybe I need to get myself organized. "Naw" it's doubtful but I'll give it a try...
Do you see that apron? I need to put one on and get to work. Do you know what I'm thinking? That is cute I need to take that fabric that is on the ironing board and get to cutting out new aprons! I do have dolly's designs you know.
Can you imagine that I'm neat as a pin. Look at her and look at that laundry she must have one of those folding forms that we had in retail to fold it so nicely. Mine is laying on top of the freezer at this very moment and the dryer just buzzed Again!
Pardon me I had to go crease and hang Chuck's uniform pants and hang his shirts neatly. He is the neat one in the family. He does like to look neat in his uniform. I'm proud of him.
Yes that will be me today at the clothesline. (Not) We can pretend though can't we? Get real heels to hang out the laundry...
I'd rather be out shopping
I just took out a Boston Butt to thaw. Chuck is going to make some Bar-B-Que...I love that! You know I love to cook but sometimes a girl needs a break. He made his spaghetti last night! It was delicious!
I do cook a lot though, that I do and if you follow you know I have a cooking blog. Dolly is Cooking.
Stop by and check out some of the recipes.

Tell me, "What are you doing today?"
Have a great Monday and week!
I was thinking about this yesterday (as I was cleaning). When I was working I used to stay up all night long (just about) and clean the house from top to bottom. I did that so that I could have my Saturdays "free". I am quite organized but don't have a specific cleaning day anymore...and I make MyHero clean his own shower! lol I do everything else but that is on him!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day cleaning out the "hoarding shed". It is tough to do, isn't it? lol It is good to have a decision maker there to help you. xo Diana
Thanks for the encouragement Diana. I'm thinking the older I get the more relaxed I want my schedule to be...maybe even throw it out the window..lol...
DeleteGood to hear from you!
