Homemakers Essential: Delegation

 This is the hardest skill a homemaker must learn. We aren’t just homemakers we are moms (or dads). Also, we are spouses. Usually, the homemaking is on us and we take it on willingly. However, there comes a time when we have to delegate tasks to other members of our house. I have had to do this while I have been trying to kick this COVID-19. Which by the way, I still have. That means I have had to delegate more tasks to my 18-year daughter which has zero experience in homemaking. 


This is difficult. Why? Because no matter how they try, the other loving members of our home won’t do things the way we do. They haven’t taken the time to develop the routines that we have. We have a system or method to our madness. What am I talking about? Okay, I have a pet peeve: dirty dishes in the sink when I get up in the morning. (That is a long and very personal story.) My daughter doesn’t do dishes at the end of the night all the time. Sometimes she is too tired to stand. We don’t have a dishwasher in our apartment. I don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink till the next morning. I hate it. She knows that and will have them done before I get up. So to delegate this task to her is very hard. 


We have to let go of control when we delegate tasks out to members of our home. We have to trust that the daily tasks like dishes will be taken care of. Even if it’s not the way we would do it. When the homemaker is sick, we need to let the members of our home take care of us and the home the best way they can. This is also why we need to share information about our system. A family that homemakers together will always know how to get things done even if it’s not the way we would do it.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
