How fast does life go by? Do you ever ask yourself this question?
Day to day life gets busy, you wake, get everyone out of the house, work, come home, feed everyone then go back to sleep and start over. Yes, there are times when you get a day off, or two or maybe a whole week but the kids get older, friends’ part ways, some pass.

I just found the lyrics to this song by Jo Dee Messina (what a great name too) words to reflex on.


I don't want to be the one who's old before their time,
And lose the wonder that I felt as a child.
I can't run this race believing I might lose;
There's still so much to see, and so much left to do.
Yes, I'll fall before I fly,But no one can say I never tried.

Oh, we just get one ride around the sun,In this dream of time.
It goes so fast that one day we look back,And we ask: was that my life?
I close my eyes and think how lucky I have been,
To hold the ones I love and share my dreams with them.
All those sunny days and all those starry skies:
Good morning kisses and sweet goodnights.
Oh, I can't tell them enough,Just how much that they are loved.

Oh, you just get one ride around the sun,In this dream of time.
It goes so fast that one day we look back,
And we ask: was that my life?
We just get one ride around the sun,In this dream of time.
It goes so fast that one day we look back,
And we ask: oh, was that my life?
Ooh, was that my life rollin' on by?
Oooh, rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on by.
Was that my life?Ooooh, was that my life?

House Keeper or No House Keeper?

YES a HOUSE KEEPER!

For years over endless years I did my own house cleaning. Then I found ….. paid for housekeeping! How can I? Would I? Let a stranger in the house? To touch and clean my things? Stuff? How?

Get over it! And you will very quickly. Having a house keeper (especially a really good one) is PRICELESS!

Do you have to clean prior to the house keeping? Yes and No. No you don’t have to clean BUT you do have to organize. And having a house keeper forces you to be even more organized.
1) You have to pick up all of that mail and paper stuff and either file it or throw it out. Hello “Identity Theft”
2) You have to put clean sheets out or wash them. When was the last time you did this? A month ago?
3) You have to throw out the OLD food from your fridge – good cleaners clean your fridge for you. Not throw out food but actually wipe down shelves and spills. With a clean fridge you can now go grocery shopping.
4) Ah – yes you need to pick up all of your dirty and clean clothes. You will either fold the cleans and put them away and/or dump the dirties in the hamper.
5) You need to find a place for your stuff so that the House Keeper can clean under the pile of stuff.

When you get home (maybe it was a bad day for you?) you get:
Clean smelling home
All trash taken out
Dust Free and vacuumed environment
Clean Kitchens and Bathrooms
And the best, clean bed made up with clean crisp sheets!

Try it you will be addicted and LOVE IT! How did I clean my home by myself all those years?

Home Remodel
Exciting - Yes! Stressful - Yes! Job for the weak - "maybe" if you have endless funds.

Let The Good Times Roll!
