Clearing the air

Ugh. I spent the majority of my evening cleaning house because tomorrow the new counselor is coming to see everyone.  I started out just to do a quick clean but then I got disturbed by the amount of dirty I was finding, particularly in that bathroom the kids use, and it turned into more of a marathon muttering "disgusting" cleaning.
.
I marched the kids straight to bed without their normal routine this evening after the 2nd time they hurt each other in 5 min. Their teeth may rot out because I didn't stop the marching for cleaning.  There may have been crying involved once I left the room, but I had no sympathy.
.
It's a good thing my friend reminded me she thinks I am not cut out for this for always.
.
I was astonished to notice that almost all of my neighbor's trees in her backyard disappeared while I was gone today. It made me nervous that it was done by the city and they had taken mine too. One of my kids ran to see.  I still have mine so far at least!
.
My parents backyard is being trampled through because the city is installing a new sewer line. Praying the manhole goes elsewhere.
.
I had a wonderful laughter filled lunch with an old coworker today. I have never felt more blessed to be gone than I did today. We have decided we definitely need more lunches just for the fun of it.
.
Some of my very best friends are supposed to be in town this weekend. Praying they make it safe and that we can find time to visit.
.
I love my little house.  Next big project is tiling the bathroom floors and replacing cabinetry. Hmmm. Sounds like I'll need to hire somebody!
.
My chiropractor is going to be able to get a golden table just from my visits lately. I can't seem to keep my back where it is supposed to be.
.
Sigh. Enjoyed taking the teens for snowcones yesterday. It was entertaining.
.
Serious questions make me laugh now.
.
Thank God tomorrow is Friday.

Honest AND Trustworthy?

I had an interesting conversation with a coworker of mine today. He was thinking aloud about a specific situation in the office and said, "There's a difference between being honest and being trustworthy, isn't there?" He was referencing a situation where he had been honest but he had not been trustworthy because he had broken a promise not to share. He was bothered by the fact until we discussed that someone else had shared the information prior to his confirmation of the facts. It relieved his mind to know he hadn't been the one to initially break confidence, but I wonder if he really thinks it excuses him from the promise if the other party already knows? What are your thoughts? Is he really trustworthy? Does it excuse him?
