Dirt and Dust can wait for Tomorrow

August 9, 2011 By Gail


Ive been working on a college paper with a frenzy equal to chocolate cravings during my period. Its not pretty, and my husband has learned to keep a safe distance. During this paper-writing mania I have barely lifted a finger to clean the house. I hate a dirty house, but the cobwebs are actually rather decorative, and Halloween is only a short distance down the calendar.
I was up way past my bedtime last night, but finished my rough draft. Now that I had some momentary downtime, I thought Id finally tackle the housework. I brought down the cleaning cloths, and assembled the cleaning solutions. Then I stared at broom and dust pan. Somewhere in my why-dont-I-ever-think-I deserve-a-break mind, I realized I didnt want to clean the house on the first afternoon in weeks I havent been glued to the computer. I left the rags pouting on the table and spent the next hour reading a book. I almost managed not to feel guilty. Almost. And it was the best part of my day.

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.

    Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
