How
clean is your house right now?
Not
at all!!! I have become a terrible
housewife. Cleaning is super low on my
list of to do's for the day. I would
love to blame that on my autoimmune diseases, but I have been this way for a
very long time. I believe there are more
important things in life then a clean house.
My writing comes before cleaning.
Doing things with friends and family comes before cleaning. Really, everything, including my need to rest,
all comes before cleaning. Now, if
people are coming over or if the house gets too bad, I do clean like
crazy. And I do try to do things
throughout the week. However, things
come up.
Take
yesterday for example. I planned to
spend the entire day finishing the last two to three thousand words of my new
novel to finish it and then hit the editing hard. I also planned to spend some time working on
a talk I have to give later next month for a women's church retreat that I plan
to attend. I planned to rest. I planned to watch a little television in the
quiet of my house. THEN, I planned to do
some cleaning. Didn't happen. Why?
Jerry
and Madelle asked me to come with them to Bozeman for the barbecue
competition. Madelle caught a cold from
her brother, and she is nervous that she won't have enough energy to help
Jerry. Also last night, they planned to
sell food. She was nervous her social
anxiety would cause her problems leaving her dad without help. So, instead of staying home, I drove to
Bozeman. Yep, the house is still
messy.
And
I don't see it getting much better in the coming week. I have a deadline to send my new book that
still needs the last two scenes to be written and the entire book to be edited
by the thirtieth of August. Friday! Oh, my.
Yep, cleaning house is not a priority.
