This is one of the houses I clean. Since starting to work there several months ago, I have had a weird sense of not being alone there. Toys start making noises on their own, doors slam shut or open on their own, a shadow will pass by me…
I discovered two stairways behind doors I thought were closets. They are part of the original house which was a log cabin built over a hundred years ago. Different families have built the house up and around this log cabin over the years, leaving the original structure within.
I’m pretty sure this place is haunted.
This is my beautiful and talented daughter, Nichole. Today is her birthday. I am so blessed to have such an awesome daughter! Happy Birthday Missy!
Oh hey it’s just me and another self portrait that I am completely unhappy with. Uploading for the sake of uploading. Happy New Years weekend!!!
I live in a small town. Local businesses fought the coming of Walmart for years. Walmart won.
I have a love/hate relationship with Walmart. A couple years ago they decided to do away with the craft department. I was so upset that I did my own little mini boycott. It lasted 9 months. Now I’m back in there sometimes twice a week. And so are the local, small business owners that were so against this town-killing beast.
I guess we don’t have a problem supporting the man when he promises us we can “Save Money, Live Better”. And we wonder why “Main Street USA” looks like a ghost town.
Besides owning a cleaning business, I am also a singer. The first time I sang in a bar I was 10 years old. Then I started singing professionally in bands when I was 17. I love to sing. I am so thankful to be gifted with a somewhat decent voice. I never thought when I was 10 years old that I would still be getting on that stage at 46. I’ve never gotten used to the feeling of being onstage. I still get nervous when people stare at me while I’m singing.
This is my cleaning business. I run it out of the back of my 1998, pushing 200,000 miles, Infinity SUV. This is the one thing in my life that stands between my little apartment and homelessness. I started the business last October when I woke up one morning and realized that I was 45 years old and had to do something to stay alive on this earth.
I’ve never done anything on my own before and I have never been alone.
It wasn’t always this way. I once had the perfect life. Husband, kids, house, dog… Then it was all gone. I lived in a perfect little cocoon, protected and taken care of by someone who loved me. Somewhere along the way I lost my security blanket.
This is now my security blanket.
Maybe I need to read this everyday. Maybe I need to read this a few times a day…
