Between blogging, consulting, creating digital courses, expanding my Chocolate empire (yes, my CHOCOLATE empire here), conducting website reviews – the last thing I want to do is clean. But I have to admit, that everyone in the house is calmer when it’s clean. Including me. There is something about everything sparkling and being organized that helps me live and work from my home so much better.
I was really excited to hire a cleaning crew to do a nice big deep clean of our home. Especially with our 2 huge dogs that take over . . . and the wood. Yes, we have wood everywhere, which I really really love except when its time to clean it.
Case in point, I’ll let you look inside my house . . . do you see any wood? 😉
Its around the microwave, in the halls, in the kitchen, everywhere you look, there it is.
The thought of removing every book, every little tchotchke is overwhelming.
So I have to find ways to get the job done AND still have time to do the things I love. My first thought was, its time to hire someone to a deep clean, I deserve it and its a good use of funds.
But then something happened . . . . .
A CRAZY HAIL STORM!!! The worst I have ever, ever heard in Plano. I was sound asleep when I heard hail crashing into the house and skylights, then the siren went off, dogs barking, the man on the siren was saying something but I couldn’t quite understand so I forced everyone into the closet ASAP.
To make a long story short, every single neighbor now has a roof/skylights to replace. And this is a common sign in every front yard. Ugh. So if you are reading this and you are in Collin County, you might also officially be on a tight budget. Adulting can really stink sometimes.
Now that we have a huge chunk of money coming out of our pockets for a roof, my dreams of hiring someone to clean for me have been dashed. Le sigh. So instead of spending the money on a deep cleaning, I’ll be doing it myself, room by room.
I guess I’ll just treat it like a workout.

I love lists so I decided to put together a checklist to help me and of course, share with y’all too!
Yay for cleaning (with a side of coffee of course)
