House cleaner Splurge didn't quite work out :)

Sooooo....my last post I mentioned that I was going to hire someone to clean my house a couple times a month to help me out. Well we were all ready to have her start on Tuesday. She met with us on Sunday afternoon and she seemed really fine and ready to go.. but when Tuesday morning rolled around things got a little strange. You know sometimes when you get a feeling about things? The night before for some reason I had a thought that she might not show up.. I'm not certain why, but it just popped into my head.





She showed up alright...I saw her park her car. We had the front door open and she walked up onto the deck but not quite all the way to the door. She stood there for a moment and I thought that possibly she forgot something so I left her alone. Greg saw her walk up and down the stairs twice and finally I saw her get into her car and drive away. Very strange.





Again, I thought...giving her the benefit of the doubt...that possibly she forgot something at home. But I finally told Greg that I had the feeling that she really didn't want to do the work for us for some reason. I walked to the back of the house and I guess the phone rang and it was her. She told Greg that she had come to the front door and it was closed (untrue), she had rang the doorbell three times (untrue)...and Greg told her that we were here waiting for her.. then she said something like "let's just leave it at that, thank you".. very strange!





I guess I'll be doing my own cleaning for the time being... dang! :) Oh well, I need to just snap to it!!

Looks like I'll be testing for my next belt on September 24th. This will bring me to my Orange/stripe. I've been an Orange belt for about 6 years due to illness and other obstacles so I'm very anxious to move ahead. The next test will be in December which I should test for my Yellow belt and I'm hoping by my next birthday to be a Green belt. To me that would be soooo awesome to be that far along in my training... it would mean so much to me and my health... but just this itty bitty test this next Thursday is a big deal to me. Since it's been so long and I have such stage fright, I just have got to get through this.. cross your fingers for me!
