Well, as much as I wanted to spend today getting the rest of my stuff ready and priced for my sisters garage/yard sale, doing so just wasn’t in the cards I guess. I got a phone call from my mom last night asking me if I’d come up and help her work today. My mom has owned her own cleaning business since the early 1980’s and on Friday’s my sister in law works with her, but my sister in law is sick and mom really doesn’t want to clean this house by herself today. I can totally understand because it’s a HUGE house (like 6 or 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a total of 3 floors), so I told her yes, I’d help her.
My mom amazes me! She’s been cleaning houses and offices since just a couple of years after my father passed away. She is now 70 years old and still works 5 days a week, sometimes doing 3 or 4 jobs a day. Us kids keep telling her she needs to slow down and even consider retiring, but she won’t, she says her jobs help her keep her mind sharp and her girlish figure without having to rely on weight loss pills. Personally, I think she’s afraid to stop working, but that’s a whole different post!
So I’ll be heading out here in about 15-20 minutes and won’t be home until later this afternoon. If you’re the person that left me a comment on my Boost Mobile Update post, I promise that I will get back with you when I get home today, so bear with me! I’m more than happy to work with you about this situation, I just have a few things I have to take care of this morning (i.e. my mom). Have a great day everyone!
