Cleaning

A wise woman once told me "time spent cleaning is time spent away from your kids." First let it be known that this woman can completely look past a huge mess and disorder where with me I hear "alert! alert!" and must straighten everything. The last time I was at her house it took everything I had not to organize her home office. I do agree with her but I work 15 hrs a week (thanks James) and get to spend a lot of time with my kids. Yesterday it was essential to literally spend time away from my kids to get some cleaning done. James (my husband) has owned a taekwondo (TKD) school since 1997. I do everything I can (other than nag) to help him with this business. I know his areas of need and thankfully those are my strengths. He has an after-school program and I am pretty sure they are all clones of the same kid from Charlie Brown (Pig Pen). My goodness. Where does trash go? On the floor, naturally. Sigh. I will always disagree with the idea that I have OCD but I do love order and cleanliness. Cleaning and organizing are the same task for me and his school needs it! We had to plan to have a babysitter (sister-in-law) watch the kids so we could actually be productive. This brings me to Craigslist. I LOVE CRAIGSLIST! I will update you on recent purchases and sales as our relationship continues. Although I sell way more than I buy, an ideal bookshelf/storage unit is a perfect purchase from Craigslist (CL). I good wipe down with the strongest chemicals I can put my hands on and *poof* new bookshelf for a fraction of the price. I am constantly amazed by what people buy off of CL- things I never would but to each their own. I've been selling stuff since 2004 and it's so easy! If you have junk laying around put it on CL even if you think nobody would want it. Take a picture. All my searches are done with the image box checked.
