We Have a Lot of Balls in the Air

Clever Title (Low on Creativity)

We’re in the bathroom this week with FlyLady.  If you sign up for the gazillion emails you get hourly, in one of them you will have a Mission, if you choose to accept it.  These arrive daily.  Hourly.  Minutely.  Secondly.  I really have to stay on top of the emails or they build up and [...]

FlyLady is still my co-pilot…

I’ve still been implementing the FlyLady program.  Although my house has been in a slight state of CHAOS due to the new bathroom and carpet, I have been able to keep up my routines.  I’m feeling the stirrings of renewed motivation. It’s either that or the breakfast burrito I had this morning…But the weather is starting to change [...]

Gong! The bathroom cabinets are cleansed!

I apologize for my small pictures. I haven’t figured out how to make them easier to view except for clicking on them to make them larger. I have my IT/Photography staff looking into it and will remedy the situation as soon as possible. So, please bear with me…or is it bare with me? Are we [...]

The post where I mention crap piles…

I opened my FlyLady emails after being on vacation and almost cried.  There were 75 emails.  75.  Instead of curling up in a ball or worse…quitting, I put on my big girl pants and I just deleted all but today’s reminders.  See how much I’ve grown? 
So this week we are to work on the bathroom [...]

FlyLady Report

I decided to go ahead and follow the plan FlyLady suggests after some great advice Kristen left in my comments yesterday.  So, I scrubbed my counters and I organized my storage containers in my kitchen.  It took me all of 10 minutes.  FlyLady said that in the beginning.  The tasks she assigns should only take 10 minutes.  You [...]

OK! OK! I know!

We’re back in business today, friends!  Our FlyLady zone this week is supposed to be the kitchen, but my goal is to finish my schoolroom.  I’m afraid of my kitchen, to be honest.  Very afraid.  My refrigerator most of all.  You know the little guy that lives in it?  The one that turns the light off [...]

After and Before of My Schoolroom

I know it’s backwards, but that’s kinda how I roll…

Before
There is a difference here…really there is.  There has to be because I spent hours going through crap books and other educational materials that aid me in educating my villagers. Can’t tell a difference?  It may be subtle, but it’s there.  Let’s take a closer look…

FlyLady BabySteps and Control Journal

I’m combining Day 11 and Day 12 here.  I added an inspirational page to my control journal for well, inspiration.  I’ve also deleted some superfluous emails.  FlyLady says they will come around again, so there’s no need to hang on to ‘em.  Am I right?  It wasn’t that big of a task for I’ve been [...]

Day 10

Use a timer to do a task for 15 minutes.  This is going to be a tough one for me.  When and if I get started on a task, I have a hard time stopping before it’s finished because unfinished projects affect my self-esteem.  It’s why my house is in this condition.  If I can’t do it [...]

Days 8 and 9

We went to the beach yesterday, so I’m a bit behind, but it’s OK. FlyLady says so!  Quit judging me. 
Day 8 Beginner BabySteps are:
Review your new habits.        
Also, find a three-ring binder.  Put your morning and before bed routines on a piece of paper and put it in the binder.  This will be your Control Journal.  Doesn’t that [...]

Day 7…and a book suggestion

Day 7!  I did the mission for today from the emails and even a 27-Fling Boogie.  Yes, that’s it’s actual name.  It’s not nearly as sexy as it sounds, but it did feel good to ”fling” things.  I’m not sure about the boogie…I took a garbage bag and went through the drawers of both of our nightstands and [...]

Hot Spot Update…

We went from this:

To this:

I started on my desk, but I’m just not emotionally ready to talk about it.  Tomorrow is another day and this is all about BabySteps.  Right?  Anyone?
