Good Morning my friends! Hope all is well on this beautiful Tuesday morning. It’s a bright sunny day and I’m awake. I wouldn’t be but I went in to work for a little bit this morning.
So to do a little catching up.... We have a new resident. He came from that other group home that I told you about where I was used as a human punching bag. The guy is the one who is VERY affectionate to female staff. So one male staff needs to be there at all times. I lucked out. Not sure if it is weight and height that keep his hands off of me or the fact I have already proven I can take a punch, but he is cool with me. But still the rule applies even with me. Our group home is much more laid back and our residents are older then the other home he came from so it could make a huge difference in his behavior. Not to mention more overtime until we get staff. Since the staff has to be male it could take a bit of time. $$$
Home is pretty good. All my furry children are doing well. They love that I spend more time at home. I love I get to spend more time at home with them. I took a picture of my house prespring cleaning and I’ll post that for you when I get up to Mom’s house. I’m cleaning a little at a time. Got the stove cleaned and looking sparkly, the dishes are staying done up for the most part and today I’m cleaning the fridge inside and out. Then if I have any energy and the fridge cootie monsters don’t kill my ass I’m going to tackle my bedroom. I’ll take a picture of that before and after to so you can praise me for my effort. Especially since I HATE house cleaning and I HATE that it ever got that messy in the first place. That and praise is the next best thing to you all sending me chocolate as a reward. Should I get a reward for cleaning my house? Hell yeah and for staying married so long and for staying out of jail and for being so damn cute even if I am too damn fluffy! I think we all deserve rewards for what we do everyday! Chocolate for EVERYONE! Okay maybe not for me. I think I have reached my sugar limit!!
Okay I have to go get busy. Tell me what everyday thing do you do that you wish you would get more praise for?

God my list would be huge....But i guess i would love a little more praise from my husband on everything that i can accomplish in a day. He has said a few times that he would hate to be me on some days. And i wish i got a little more praise at work, since i feel that i am the only manager that gets things done. Sometimes i’m just glad that “I” know what i can do!

A reward for cleaning your own house? probably not.
The major effect would be that people have a better opinion of your abilities and come visit more often.
My guys say Thank You so often that I get embarassed.
I’m just a worker bee, and I like things done ‘just-so’ which makes my effort seem more pronounced. Very high expectations, so my guys have to tell me when to take it easy, not give me more praise.

Having visitors isn’t an incentive for me. It used to be, but it’s not anymore. I used to keep a clean house when I first got married but when I became the only person trying it got away from me and then I just quit caring. I take care of my furries and I have clean clothes that is all I need.
