The Cleaning Diva.....

Well I'm back... I have been Flybaby-ing it now for weeks, and am LOVING how it not only makes my housework so much more manageable, and YES even dare I say fun, but also how it makes me feel so much more competant as a wife and mother to provide the organized and less stressful life my family deserves. I am feeling very confident, and actually have MORE free time to do the other things that I love to do, such as read, sew, and scrapbook with out feeling guilty that I am selfishly letting my house go to meet my "me time" needs. It is in a word WONDERFUL, and my husband arrives home to a relaxed atmosphere and I am almost always in a great mood, because I am not feeling the stress of "trying to do it all" with no plan on how to do it... Our relationship has taken on a new dynamic, because instead of me stressing about having to do...(fill in the blank), I actually have time and energy to carry on an adult conversation with him about whatever. He is so loving the new me and my new attitude, that without any prompting from me, has begun to take notice when things are out of place, and put them back. He said it was because he never noticed (fill in the blank) before I cleaned it, and now it looks so good, he wants to help keep it that way. So... suddenly instead of feeling all panicky and depressed about how out of control my home is, I am feeling like I could conquer the world one room at a time! I still have a lot to do, but it is not so overwhelming now that I have a plan of action.
So that is what is new with me, and everything else seems to be falling into place and running smoothly here on the homefront... but that's just me...
