As much success as I've been having with the whole Flylady thing, I haven't been able to share any of it with Hubby. I know it's partially because I'm a bit hyper-sensitive right now, what with the hormones and all, but he's also a pretty merciless teaser and poor in the self-editting department. He has teased me about my "nesting", about "OCD", ( Read more... )

It's really sort of interesting how my habits and my control journal just seem to be naturally evolving. Previously, my kitchen was in such a mess that I couldn't cook. My fridge was a rotten wasteland of well-intentioned but neglected leftovers and half eaten then forgotten take-out. Now that I've been baby-stepping it, my cupboards are full of ( Read more... )

In my enthusiasm to take advantage of Tuesday night and my overall feeling of being able to do nearly anything - and very close to having both the laundry and the dishes conquered - I've kinda overdone it this evening. It's only 8:15 and I really haven't sat down to relax just yet, having been home nearly 2 hours. I've gotten a ton accomplished ( Read more... )

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

Hubby finally got to the cat boxes yesterday. This is one of those uber simple tasks that we both just absolutely hate. With me being pregnant, I'm banned from doing it, but Hubby loathes it with an equal passion and is just as good about ignoring it as I was. HOWEVER, it may just be that all of my recent flying has been a subtle influence, or ( Read more... )

I can't believe how well I did with my flying this weekend. I got up both Saturday and Sunday mornings and was up and dressed and doing things in minutes. On both days, I did dishes and laundry and made breakfast before wakling out the door. I still have dishes to do, but the laundry is again almost completely done. I even did a refrigerator ( Read more... )

I think the whole flylady thing is pretty cool. I've been trying to keep to basic morning and evening routines as much as possible. Morning - feed and water cats, brush my teeth, make the bed. Evening, make lunch, prep for breakfast, feed cats, set out clothes for the next day. I haven't been so great on the food (for me) stuff the last few ( Read more... )

So there I was, sitting at the computer, working on a paper for school when Hubby called me to ask me to print out a copy of his proof of insurance cards off the net. Not a problem ( Read more... )

Following up on this post made in the flylady community, I have to say that I've apparently caught at least part of the bug. The very fact that I'm sort of resisting over doing it on the cleaning seems to be moving me forward to do more. My it-doesn't-have-to-be-perfect-to-make-a-positive-change attitude is leading me to more and more enthusiasm for get ( Read more... )

Last night I got home and was almost excited about the prospects of cleaning up. I didn't do too much over the weekend so I wasn't burnt out and was ready to keep the momentum. In order to keep up the same momentum, I made sure not to do too much last night either. I did two loads of laundry and set the timer for 2 15-minute sessions at the sink ( Read more... )
