The order of things

I am home now when I usually am at the office at this time. I am taking a leap of faith and resigning in a week. It's time to pursue what's closest to my heart--that of being the voice for children. First things first though, I need to get my household in order. I haven't really had time to orient my yaya and inform her of our expectations. This I intend to do before the end of the day. I believe this is what is stopping the magic once more.
There seems to be so much detail involved in keeping house. And my house consists of one room and a bathroom since we live with the rest of the family. How does one straddle the middle ground--being kind but firm--to the people who help us raise our children. I guess like any relationship, it's all in communication.
Thank goodness for the book Keep it Together before chaos by Frannie S. Daez...it is helping me get my act together...starting today.
