Hobson House Cleaning

Isn't it amazing how much different you feel when you take time to clean and organize in your home?

Last fall (after studying a little feng shui) I did an all out clean out/throw out. It took a week but it was SO great to have everything so in place and organized! Then last week I decided no more splattered cabinets, these things were going to get CLEANED. Each time I walked into the kitchen for the next few days I glowed:) (see how white---->)!

I have to admit I haven't always been the best house-cleaner, nor the most efficient.

I distinctly remember that Saturday, I was just admiring the perfectly straight books on my bookshelf, each one was in order according to its size, when my Mother walked in. She was less than happy with the state of the room and told me so. Apparently the bookshelf project had taken me longer then she felt was wise, considering the other things "to do" in my room. Another housecleaning memory was in my teens. I had graduated from sharing a room with my older sister for years. I had also graduated to having a double bed instead of a single bed. Since I was just one person I often heard a complaint from my Mother, "Why don't you clean up that pile of stuff on the end of your bed"?

I really couldn't understand why it bothered her so much. The rest of my room, and even my closet floor stayed clean.

I have pondered this lately because we are in a transition in our home. My husband will be leaving his full-time job. His goal is to take over most of the house cleaning so I can have more time to dedicate to serving my clients. I say "YIPEE". You see I still have that same philosophy that I expressed as a child. I'll take on the big projects that REALLY thrill me, but the small tasks seem to take too much of my time. My husband, however, is like a speed demon when it comes to getting the day-to-day cleaning tasks done and ignores the big tasks. So I'm "hiring" him to take care of the details that are so easy and quick for him and I'll focus on the big things, like cleaning out the refrigerator, cleaning the cabinets, and organizing the kids toys and bookshelves. It's going to be really exciting.

We also had a family "team" meeting and came up with a new plan for how the kids will do their housecleaning and get paid. Two weeks in and we're enjoying a lot less shouting and a much cleaner bathroom!

Finding Joy,
