For the last couple of months, my cleaning business has been running me ragged. I live in a very rural area. However, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, this place is hopping! We go from just above ghost town activity to that of a concert arena in the blink of an eye.
Last summer, I worked seven days a week. Weekdays, Monday through Friday, I worked in construction; and weekends, Saturdays and Sundays, I cleaned with a friend of mine who has her own cleaning business. Last year, we cleaned on Chincoteague Island, Virginia every weekend. It was rough and the pay sucked. So, I vowed that this summer I would not be working for peanuts on that island! Instead, I already had a couple of full-time clients whose higher-end homes I clean either bi-weekly or monthly. During the off-season, that gives me one week of cleaning gigs with the next week being online work and everything that I need to catch up on at home. With the season in full swing, I don’t get days off, let alone weeks. So, here I am playing catch up after two months of steady cleaning…
So, to go inline with my title, today is our Sunday (even though it’s actually Tuesday) in the Powell and Mason house. When you can’t get a Sunday off, it’s always important to make sure you make another day your Sunday. We haven’t had a Sunday for months now. So, I’m making this one count! 🙂
My middle son, Emory Reuben, and my youngest daughter, Sarah Drucilla, just had birthdays. Emory turned 19 on May 28th, and Sarah turned 18 on June 11th. Typically, we do their dinners and cakes separately; but we’re going BIG this year ? We’re having a combined party to include the celebration of Sarah’s high school graduation this year! Even though I’ve been working hard, I’ve also had a lot to celebrate lately ? So, here we go…
The turkey is in the oven. Laundry is going, (Because I’ve had to either wear clothes that I really don’t like or recycle clothes the last two days due to not having the time and/or strength left at the end of the day to do laundry.)
I’m about to hop in the shower and head off to the grocery store. Next up is the making of two yummy cheesecakes! ? The house will be full for dinner and dessert at 5 🙂
I want to wish everyone an AMAZING day, with the reminder to make sure you schedule a Sunday, every week, on whatever day, on your own terms 😉
With Love, Light, & HUGE Hugs,

I usually book Sunday for myself and my family. We are already too little together.
Yes! That’s why I make any day that I have off into a Sunday because I’m never certain which day of the week I will have off…
Family is a blessing for us… It’s always nice to be with them.
Yes, it is <3 Always a blessing to watch them grow! 🙂
Yes, I think it’s always good to just take any day to be Sunday, as long as you can take a good rest and enjoy yourself! Hope you are doing good in your cleaning business. 🙂
Definitely 🙂 We have to take what days we have 😉 Cleaning business is hectic, but I guess that’s good, most days 🙂 I hope all is well with you! <3
Enjoy the moments…
Always, Dear Branka 🙂 <3 I'll be back in a bit… Going to go chase the sunset 😉 Many Blessings to you! <3
I was thinking of the 80s rock band The Smiths hit song “Every Day Is Like Sunday”…
Awww; you have two Gemini’s. I’m curious how much they mirror each other, plus being brother and sister.
They are best friends <3 <3 😀 Exactly one year and two weeks apart…
You are right and you are so blessed to have your family. Enjoy the moments.
Thank you <3 I enjoy every second I get… They're getting stingy in their older years lol
I am sure, so many changes they go through or so I’m told.
Yes, they really do… Some days they’re mad at you for little to nothing and others they cling to you. We just never know from one day to the next…
Wow you rock hardworking woman! You’re an inspiration
Thank you <3 I hope so 🙂 We all need a little inspiration from time to time 🙂
I totally agree with you. Bad stuff is everywhere nowadays, we need people who are more compassionate, kind, and loving to make a difference in this world.
Your positivism is always contagious! I am glad to see you back!
Thank you, Ellie! <3 🙂 I'm glad to be back! I've missed everyone here!
