I am struggling with keeping the house clean, not that this is anything new. Last week at bible study I felt God telling me that I need to get the house under control, not for me but for the love of my family. So for the past few weeks I have been trying to keep the front room picked up and the dishes done. I end up vacuuming every few days because we bought a new Shark vacuum and I LOVE it. Every time I empty it, a small dog comes out.
I am trying to use FlyLady and it goes okay for a few days and then I forget and pick up after a few days. In fact, after I am done I should go and do today and yesterday's mission. This gives me a goal every day. So here are my daily small goals. Let's see if I meet them each day - maybe that's why I'm writing this now. As a way to keep myself accountable. If someone reads it, then I have to get my stuff done. LOL.
Here's my list:
1. Dishes done and kitchen cleaned up
2. Front room straightened
3. Laundry going in all stages - washer, dryer, folding, putting away
The kids each are responsible for putting away their own laundry. Jordyn actually starts her own wash and then I put the dry clothes in a pile on her bed for her to fold and put away.
4. FlyLady zone
5. Pilates for at least 15 minutes.
So let's see how I do. A lot of these are things normal people do, but I have had a very hard time feeling the need and drive to do them. 5 things a day - that's all I have to do. I can do it right? Right!
Today I have laundry going and I have done pilates for 30 minutes. Time to get the front room straightened. OMG - TJ just came in after making himself a jelly only sandwich. He is telling me it is his lunch, but when he is done he will not be ready to take a nap. Oh, you are so wrong Mister Man.
I could go on and on today because this makes me feel like I am talking with an actual person. But alas, I must attend to my duties. Tata for now. Thanks for the ear.
