It IS possible! **faint**

Tink · 01-03-2008, 01:57 PM

I have finally proven a theory that I personally had started to doubt. What an uplifting revelation it is!

I now know it is possible to have every dish in the house clean and accounted for and every item of laundry clean and put away at the same time. Can you imagine that?!?! Up till now, I really couldn't.

For most of my life I've lived with kids... first my siblings, then my own offspring; that's where my doubts came from. I would get to what I thought was the last item, turn around, and there was more! It always felt similar to shoveling during a blizzard. It had to be done but it was never quite DONE.

My faith is restored. My trust is reborn. Finally I see the point of cleaning now that I can actually keep up!

I bet you were frozen in time Tink!!

Now that all those dishes are done, ask to be taken out to dinner.

Who needs more dishes dirtied up anyway?

Tink, what are you going to do with all of your free time? Just think of what all you can do!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

Marilyn · 01-03-2008, 09:05 PM

Tink, this is sooo amazing!!!! So very, very happy for you. You must be feeling extremely liberated!!! Hurray for you!!!

Tink · 01-03-2008, 09:23 PM

Thanks friends. I DO feel liberated, as Marilyn said.
For now I'm doing a thorough cleaning and organizing and rearranging things to suit my own needs. Once that's done I plan to do a bit of redecorating and remodeling.
By then it should be spring and I'll be able to work outside on my flower gardens.

I have accomplished more in the past 3 days than in the past 3 months and I'm able to pace myself and enjoy it. If I run out of things to do, I'll start sewing and crafting again now that I have a place to do it. Maybe I'll have another litter of pups which will also help to keep me busy. I really don't expect to run out of things to occupy my mind, but if I do I'll pick up another new hobby... There are a lot of things I haven't tried yet that could be fun.

Janet · 01-04-2008, 05:42 PM

Wow Tink...it's amazing isn't it to have everything done and in it's place? You are really going to start enjoying life again! I love it when the guys go camping with Scouts. As soon as they walk out the door I clean until time to go to sleep. When I wake up everything looks so nice and shiney and stays that way.....till they come home.....I'll keep my son a few more years hopefully.

Happiness is alive and well in Tink's world these days!

AngieDoogles · 01-08-2008, 09:06 AM

Congrats Tink. That must be such an amazing feeling...and one you've looked forward to for quite a while now. Enjoy it!

DianaB · 01-08-2008, 10:54 AM

Tink, don't forget to take time out to pamper yourself!! Read a book, take a long bubble bath, visit some friends. Now is the time to also do other things besides clean.

Great idea Diana! Tink, you really do need a little time for yourself. You deserve it!

Janet · 01-08-2008, 11:11 AM

So Tink, what cha been doing?

Tink · 01-08-2008, 11:14 AM

Diana, it doesn't take much to keep things done now that I'm here alone.

I have jumped into a new project that I'm really excited about, so am spending a lot of time online researching to figure out how to best go about it. If I can work it out like I plan to, it will keep me busy and having fun for quite some time. LOL

Once I know more I'll post about it and hopefully get some good ideas from all of you on it too. I just don't want to put the cart in front of the horse or it's not likely to get far. I'm just not someone who can sit and twiddle my thumbs... so need projects that I can do at my own pace.

Uh oh, a secret! Can't wait to find out all about your new project Tink.

Janet · 01-08-2008, 11:29 AM

This is so exciting, can't wait to see what you're up to next.
