It doesn't have to be an adventure...

I have neglected the blog! Primarily because I have been running a business. I would say that the aspiration of growing up has been in full swing. Running a business has little to do with cleaning, and I admit to missing the days of starting a job, working hard, and ending it. There does not seem to be much definition between the off and on brain mode required of a "boss", a small business owner, responsible for the cleanliness of the good folk of Ames, Iowa; responsible for paychecks staff and their respective families rely on.

I will report that I have the best staff ever! Wonderful caring and respectful people to work with. My loyalty and concern for them and their well being has surprised me. As much as I want to make my clients proud of our service, I want to make our staff proud to be a part of this business.

As far as blogging, socializing, networking go...it has taken a back seat to scheduling, training, communicating and paper working. I am looking forward to tomorrow, when I shall wear my comfy clothes, and participate in two cleanings, some quality checks, and general companionship with my staff in the field.

I will try to do better with my writing. It reminds me of the other facet I enjoy. The rambling creative part of my brain. Not that growing a business is not creative, it is all sides of creative, but a rambling blog post seems gentler, more grounding... and the only person who is looking to me for this post, is me! Goal accomplished, smiles all'round!
