Just about everyday I webcam with my dear cousin, Candice. We sometimes sit and talk, but mostly we do our hosuework together. It keeps us both motivated knowing that the other is doing the same thing.
Sidenote: I love technology. Candice lives in Georgia. We've been fairly close since she had her first daughter, Rochelle, but it hasn't been until recently that we've started hanging out over the webcam. How amazing is that? Two completely different states and we hang out everyday. I love it!
Okay, so Sunday afternoon I made a list of things I wanted to get done the following week and weekend. My husband and I were organizing the basement, and the inspiration and motivation hit me to get more things that I may, or may not, have been putting off. I felt a little twinge of nesting and it felt goooood. Monday morning, after dropping Claire off at school, I got on the webcam with Candice and we immediately started working. I got my kitchen and entry floors vacuumed and mopped, my main floor vacuumed, and a load of laundry started. Not a bad way to start the week considering I've done no housework at all today.
During my chores it dawned on me how much I love my job. I don't necessarily enjoy doing laundry or vacuuming, and I especially hate cleaning my bathrooms, but I love the feeling I get when I can sit down, look around, and say "Wow! My house is clean!" I think I get the highest level of satisfaction with my job than I would ever receive anywhere else. Not only does keeping my house clean feel good, but it also keeps my family healthy and happy (not to mention my level of sanity.)
I was MADE for this job. God knew what He was doing when he made me a 20 year old mother.
