Can the FlyLady save me?

A long time ago I wrote a post about how disorganized I am and how I long for an organized mess free home like the one where I grew up. I know my parents would disagree but neatness and the ability to stay organized a definitely nature and not nurture! I was neat when I was younger (sometimes) because I was forced to be neat. Yes I shined the faucets in the shower after I was finished because that is what you did or the DRAGON LADY (aka my mom) would destroy you with her fiery wrath. I enjoyed living in a neat abode- I just never really grasped how to achieve one. You think I would have after living home for a zillion years. However, without a game plan (written down) I kinda just float around not knowing what to do. I am busy- doing what- who the heck knows? Most likely I am starting and not finishing projects. Now I realize neatness is just not part of my programming and being a scatter brained mess is what I know- and now I need to reprogram or else I will be buried under the clutter and no one will find me until something starts to smell.

Way back when someone commented I should check out FlyLady and I tucked it in the back of my head and it has been festering there for quite a while. Earlier this week I decided I was going to get organized once and for all. I googled this FlyLady and she makes a lot of sense. Little by little I have been trying to get myself in order. I have started being much more diligent and things around here are really shaping up. I do miss tossing my dirty cloths on the floor at night but I guess hanging them up will have to work! It is kinda nice to see the bedroom floor. Who knew?

So I am going to give it a go for a month and I'll let you all know how I am doing. I sure hope this FlyLady can help me!

In case your wondering. The flylady's first order of business. Shine Your Sink! Well, what are you waiting for- go get shining!!!!!

So I feel like I haven't been posting much lately and my google reader is filled to the brim. Welocme to the world of blogging. So what do I do? I go and join Twitter so I can spend even more time on the computer. Oh well! If you haven't joined yet- check it out!

Another reason I haven't been on the computer is the nice weather. I like to spend a lot of time strolling with Eliza. I usually try to go for at least 45 minutes. I would love to go for an hour but sometimes I just have no where left to stroll. My princess is spoiled and has been known to go for three walks in one day! That sure is the life. I told Pete we need a sidecar for the stroller so he can push me too!

Thanks to Lori for this awesome award.


I am mourning the loss of Jason Castro from the idol cast. He was my fav. idol for so many reasons. I will miss his dreadlocks. I think he said last week the hardest part of idol was getting his brain to work. The hardest part of being a mom is getting my brain to work ! I hear ya Jason!

You will be missed!
