Not a goodbye, but a see you later

Isn't it funny when we become "grown ups" the toys we want are things that make our housekeeping easier? I so badly wanted a Shark steam mop, not jewelry, flowers, or chocolates, but a MOP!! For Mother's day last year my wonderful husband got me one, let me tell you mopping was no longer a chore!! I could get all my mopping done in about 10 minutes. I love this mop so much I even took it over to my friends house and did her kitchen for her.

Last Tuesday I was blessed with new flooring in my kitchen. I was so excited to be getting nice wood floors laid until half way through the guys told me I can NOT use my steam mop on these kind of wood flooring. I was pretty upset about it for a little while because the kitchen is the largest floor space I have to mop and I waited so long to get my new toy. But then I stopped and thought about it, I was so happy to have this beautiful floor being put in my kitchen, who cares if it's going to take me a little longer and be a little more work to go back to old school mopping. I am blessed to be able to rent this house from my church and to be able to help them remodel the house so it will be worth more when we build our new church and sell the house and church.

So I have put away my steam mop and still smile every time I walk into this beautiful kitchen. One day (hopefully soon) we will own a house of our own and I will make sure I have floors I can steam mop. So until we meet again, I will miss you steam mop we had a great year together :)
