a housekeeper!
Since she learned of the changes we've been making with Kelly, she wanted to do something to help. She lives too far from us to come over and cook or clean for me, so she decided to do the next best thing- hire someone to come in and clean for me!
I never knew how wonderful it would feel to have someone do that for me. I really think it's the best gift I've ever received. I feel so loved and bolstered, I can't even tell you. I feel like I can take on the world now!
Truly, it has lightened my load so much physically, but I think even more so emotionally and mentally, as I don't have the burden of what I'm not getting done hanging over my head anymore, nor do I have to fight the feeling of irritation looking around at a dirty house. Now I just look around and sigh and smile. Plus, the light housekeeping I'll do in between the housekeeper's visits is now a pleasure to do because it's not so overwhelming. And last but not least, all this is so wonderful because it allows me to focus on the most important things: Kelly and my precious family.
Mom, you are gold, pure gold. I can't thank you enough for this most wonderful gift you have given me. My cup overflows!
