Being a single lady and a home owner is hard work. I mean it's totally doable, but not always the idealistic image you see portrayed in magazines. The typical photos include her in a casual but stylish outfit usually a sundress or some jeans and nice cashmere sweater. She's lounging in her nice clean home which is perfectly lit by the natural sunshine, there are always fresh flowers in the room. Of course she has time to sit there and read a book, her house is perfect. Whateve! How is that possible?
If I'm home there's hardly ever time for lounging. I feel guilty. There's always cleaning or yard work, cooking or laundry to do. Not to mention taking care of the dog that is always strategically placed in those photos. There's so much to do it's completely overwhelming at times. Don't even get me started on the big projects. The things that pretty much require some dude to come in over charge me to fix things. *Sigh*
Knock on wood...I'm lucky that I don't typically get unexpected guests. Perhaps that because I live in the ghetto. ha ha! Oh well.
I think the solution here is that I need to start eliminating as much stress as possible. I need to reduce the amount of clutter in my home. A yard sale is in my near future. How successful will that be...who knows? It's a start. If I want to literally obtain the freedom I can almost taste I'm going to have to start letting go of some things, physically and figuratively. House cleaning is only the beginning.
