  Today was a bad day. It just was. Nothing went right. Everything was frustrating. I was more tired than usual. Just a bad day. And it wasn’t just me. Everyone seemed to be having trouble today. Everyone seemed a little out of it, frustrated and overwhelmed. I was looking around and I thought “at least my house is clean.” I know that sounds crazy, but I was already using the 3 dinner plan – so I didn’t have to stress about that, and the house is clean and calm. I know I can clean off my desk, take a nice hot shower and get a fresh start tomorrow. When I get up in the morning – everything will be clean and ready to go. No distractions. Hopefully minimial stress. Dinner is planned. Yep, tomorrow will be a better day. I’m ready.

I just stumbled on a great blog filled with ideas for reusing household items. She’s got some good ideas. And since we’re all concerned about saving money, and the environment – I thought I’d pass this on!

One Small Step – Repurposeful

It’s the dead of winter. The temp right now is -1C. It’s too cold to be outside, and who wants to be?

If only it were spring.

The next best thing is to get a little spring fever. This is when I start my spring cleaning. When it does finally get warm, I sure don’t want ot be in the house cleaning.

This is a great time to wash figurines and floral arrangements, and take care of your plants – repotting, wiping the leaves.

Put on some Jimmy Buffet and go for it.

Spring will come. Honest.

The holidays are over, and many of you have made the resolution to get the house cleaned up.

Now, most of you cleaned the house up for the holidays.

The decorations are now put away, or will be shortly.

All you have to do now is keep the house clean. What better starting point? Get yourself a system and just keep it clean.

Where we run into problems is when you let things go until they become unmanagable. But if you have a system that breaks it down into little bitty tasks- it’s a lot easier.

The whole secret to keeping your house clean is to not let it get bad in the first place.

So get yourself on a schedule. When will you dust, vacuum, wash floors? When was the last time you dusted those blinds?

I seriously don’t spend much time cleaning house. I don’t have much time to clean house. So I need to be efficient about it, because if I let it go – it drives me nuts and I can’t concentrate and everything else falls apart because I’m going nuts – Can your relate?

So, make up a system or get my house cleaning system, and keep the house clean. Best time to start is when the house is already clean!

I was surfing around looking for some ways to make some extra money when I stumbled upon this site that has step-by-step plans for making your own solar panels and windmills. It says that you can build one of these portable panels for less than $200, and you can run all of your appliances off of it. That’s weird and interesting. Saving money on your utility bills is always a good thing. My neighbor and I have discussed the possibilty of putting up a windmill between us since the Chipolte Grill opened up locally. They use a windmill to power the restaurant.

I got to thinking that someone who is handy could probably make some cash building this stuff for people. It’s supposed to be the next big thing since money is tight and utilities have gone up so much – and we want to be concerned about the earth and resources too, right?

This could be a lucrative career for the right person.

Save money, make money. If you’re a little handy, and you have someplace where you can work on this stuff – it could be a good idea, you think?

Anyway – here’s the site for building your own solar panels and windmills >>>
