Now there are just times, that a fun song takes all the pain out of cleaning house. My hubby isn't "Mr Mom", even if he is at home, so as I trade one work hat for another, I am also juggling my household chores. So please call before you come...it might not look too good around here. Isn't that how it always goes? The plumber never has his own plumbing fixed and this house cleaner/educator/interior decorator/child care worker....well just guess what you won't see around here right now.
So this song popped into my head and I smiled to myself while I cleaned the pot and mopped the floors and put on the lunch, before heading out the door to another job. Come on....there are just times it is fun to celebrate our own achievements, even if we are exaggerating a little.
After an appointments with a new clients for decorating, I had a friend treat me to a pedicure. Now I am not one of those who has the joy of a pedicure on a regular basis...I have had two in my 50-plus-years, but the best part by far was the foot massage. When you have been pounding the pavement in prayer, those feet were in need of some relaxation.
Now when I look down at my toes I giggle to myself and think..................wow!!! I even had a pedicure during this season of multiple wearing hats.
Another giggle is that I am now down two jean sizes!!! I know it seems funny, but being a little smaller puts a bounce in my step and ego.
Have a good week. I am off to class with my live tadpoles and one baby frog. Now don't you wish you were a fly on the wall of my classroom?
You're a busy girl! Yay for pedicures! They are a sweet encouragement, I agree.
ReplyDeleteThere is always a lot to do and thank you, Jesus, that we can do it.
Have a lovely week, lovely friend!

ReplyDeleteWell, I have finally learned the secret to getting skinny, I must get myself busy, as this winter has caused me to go up two sizes, I can't figure out why, I am always picking up other girl's pounds when they lose them. lol Dh says a busy person is a happy person, and I sure heard a lot of happy in this post! I think of you and Benjamin so often, though I am very seldom here in blogland. I am so busy with the farm and getting ready for company coming in May. Every week is going to be filled to the brim with family, they all decided to come before the heat came. ~smile~
ReplyDeleteMuch love to both of you,
Sue
So much is happening in your life, and congrats on dropping two sizes. You sound so busy juggling all this, but happy as well! Keep looking up!
ReplyDeleteLove that song. It was much encouragement for me tonight. Just what I needed.
ReplyDeleteLove to hear of the pep in your step, Janette!! What color did you choose for polish? It has been so very long since I've had a pedicure... you are almost making me want to go have one! Congratulations on two sizes down... it is pretty amazing how much better we feel with the excess baggage (no matter how it shows up in life) gone. I need to let go of a few pounds myself. blessings and hugs ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteHi dear friend
ReplyDeleteI've not been around other blogs much these past months... but that doesn't mean I have forgotten you. So today, since I'm in the neighborhood, I decided to drop by and say "Hello..." And also to find out what has been happening in your life.
This post was such a delight to read. Wow, you're two sizes down... your positive attitude has always lifted up my spirits, and today, reading this post was such a booster for me.
Happy Spring... and I'll be visiting again one of these days!
Love
Lidia
Wow, Jeanette. First congratulations on the new size jeans, and then, thanks for sharing the song and your sweet self with us. You are an inspiration and encouragement to the rest of us. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Janette, you are a "working wonder" as they used to say. And now you are a skinny working wonder. Good for you!
ReplyDeletehow about a photo of your 'woman-ness!'
ReplyDeletealways inspiring, janette! don't know how
you do it. might have something to do
with your great sense of humor!
Wow! Congratulations on your new pant size! There ARE some up-sides to the down-times, aren't there? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to be so very, very late to this W-O-M-A-N party. True confession: I have never had a pedicure in my life. Lord knows it would be an improvement, but I am so ashamed of my ugly feet. Plus, they are ticklish.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed every moment of your foot massage and pedicure. Personally, I think it was a wonderful treat and came at just the right time.
After all, you are stepping out all over the place. You might as well do it with pretty feet.
And now, I'm clicking the link.
I so understand the path you are on right now and so glad to be sharing it with you!
