In your life, you want to have something solid to stand on while working on the rest of your life. If you have a rickety stool when you start to clean your beams, you can fall.
2. Plan to get dirty.
Life is messy. You should wear clothes that can get dirty, don't use good dish towels for cleaning cloths, wear eye protection and figure that you'll need to clean up later. Dust falls DOWN.. into your eyes, onto your just-swept floor.
3. Keeping your life from becoming a wreck will take constant maintenance.
Once you get one beam polished with your Old English, the wall next to it will show the dust. Once you get that wall done, the door appears drab. Do the door, the floor will require mopping.
4. There will ALWAYS be residue.
If you let an area of life get too dirty, it'll ALWAYS show residue even after it's cleaned up. So will your hands from cleaning it - oil is HARD to get off!
5. Don't expect someone else to clean up your messes.
Especially if they're 14-yr old boys. They miss spots.
6. Don't expect your whole life to be perfect.
You can clean for DAYS (or years) and never have everything perfect at once. You need to enjoy a relatively clean "room" and let the rest go.
"My home is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy!"
Here are some pics from our Rockin' Friday night: Jeff playing harmonica, Ben working on a science project report, Josie sporting her sweet new purple bandana I just sewed, and also Josie peeking through the bars again!
