Cleaning Day and then some....

So today I cleaned two houses. My first client had been rearranging furniture and remodeling a portion of her home so things were a mess. She gave me extra to clean because of not only what I mentioned before but because she had 5 people staying in her house. It did take me a lot of time but when I was done it looked awesome! Another thing that happened was when I initially started to vacuum her house her vacuum quit. So she ran out to the store and bought a Dyson for pet hair. Now this is the client that raises pugs that shed hair like no dog I have ever seen. This Dyson picked up so much pet hair and left not one anywhere to be found! I was in awe. Call me weird but when I can leave a house that clean I get quite excited. After that house I had to go get the boys from their Dad's house and three other kids I had been asked to watch today. Poor Emma had been in a playpen for the last four hours and I still had another house to clean. I brought all 6 kids with me to the second house and was quite thankful for my IPOD because I could drown out all their noise with my music. That way I do not get distracted and can quickly get that house clean. It was an easy clean and only took me about an hour. Needless to say I am tired and OH SO HOT.. It is 106 outside and the AC in our house can't keep up with the temperature. I had the AC repair man out the other day and he said that it is just too hot for the AC to keep the house any cooler than 85-90 degrees. So I sit in front of a fan and wait for it to cool down outside so I can turn on the Attic fan and cool things down. Tonight I have my weekly paper route to do and I am looking forward to being out in the cool night air and having sometime to myself. I will miss these times when I am no longer working there. ANYWAYS, I am going to take a shower and figure out what would work best for dinner. BYE!

What hurts the most.......
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

I'm Home

Tayler and I arrived home from Colorado about 12:30 today. It was a eye opening trip that I will elaborate more on later. I am still trying to cope with the events of the trip and put a positive note on the memory of it. When I have achieved that I will tell you more about our trip. So....We got off the plane and went straight to my school to get my books for the semester starting in 29 days. I can't wait! I love getting my books and spending the evening thumbing through them.
I have three houses to clean over the next couple of days and I need to get some rest I haven't slept well in the last couple of nights. It has been a long time since I had panic attacks! Phew they are as yucky as yucky gets!!!! I am hoping that now that I am home I will be able to sleep.
Jonathan will have his last day of school on Thursday so I am going to try to take the kids to the river on Friday. Tayler is jazzed that he learned how to cast a line so I am going to get the boys some poles and take them down to "fish" if that is what you call it!
Emma was really happy to see me today. That felt really good. I missed my family like crazy. Patrick is working overtime this week so we are flying solo for dinner. I am hungry for some good BBQ so I might do that tonight. Okay I am off to the store. I hope this finds you all well. Those of you that have my number call me while I am not chained to my books and schedule!
