Ru ~ breathe deeper life has me in stitches

Clean/Declutter (maintain the gumption) (read all 12 entries…)
Zen and the art of broom pushing 4 months ago

I continue to fight the neverending flow of mess that piles up here. The stream of company has helped kick those cleaning frenzies into gear, but frankly I’m feeling exhausted by the constant battle with dishes and laundry and garbage and vacuum pushing and such. I need to rediscover the zen of house cleaning. I need the joy and gumption, not just the feeling of being overwhelmed by fabric softener and rabid dustbunnies.

I’m not convinced fabric softener really works anyway.

Nah, dude, it totally does!

At least the little fabric softener sheets do. I’m not sure about the liquid version. It doesn’t make sense to me that you add it to the clothes in the washer and it gets rinsed away…how does it help? But the sheets, oh yes. I grew up without them, and now that I use them, big big difference. :)

Decluttering today

Believing that Flylady is a place I would like to visit, but not live, I did do a 5min whatchamacallit which ended up more of a 30 minute throw away. I was interrupted by a phone call but I believe that I could have gone on all day. I had a recent entry about finding joy in the mundane. I find a nice get out of the house for an hour helps.

Disney Divas find Zen in brooms

I need to do some deep cleaning today, because I’m having a friend over tomorrow who could give Martha Stewart advise on house keeping. Anyway I will see if I can get my cocker spaniel involved in dancing zenfully with the broom. Here is some mood music.
