LADIES! There's something to this cleaning/organizing thing....! I was in the kitchen a minute ago, putting the last few touches on the crockpot meal I made this moring (like a carne asada, but with deer meat), and I emptied the tall trash can in the pantry. Husband RUSHED to take it outside for... Sign in to see full entry.

When it rains it pours. One step closer, two steps back, and all of that. I should have opened my large stack of mail sooner. It was bills; and I couldn't pay them, so what was the point. But within that stack was the lovely court order to have our child support diminished. There goes Christmas....... Sign in to see full entry.
So my FlyLady Assignments are done for the day. And the offspring, having been informed Saturday of their new thing called 'chores' have sticky notes on the end of the long table in the kitchen. There are no names on them; first to do them gets first pick. Sis knew she was going to a friend's house... Sign in to see full entry.
So FlyLady says that Today's Mission is to get the cobwebs off the ceilings and to clean the fan vent grill in the main bathroom. No biggie, I think....I'm pretty sure I did this not too long ago. The kids' bathroom always makes me angry to go into, because they are true slobs. But I know they... Sign in to see full entry.
So far, the 'nothing's as bad as you think' is ringing true. The party last night was actually really nice. I found myself, in preparing for it, not going all-out like I usually do. I put out fewer snacks. I didn't decorate to the nth degree, etc. I'd been doing FlyLady's plan for about two weeks... Sign in to see full entry.

One last post and then I'll quit for the weekend. I take Sundays off. Still on the high from getting so much done today. I did not finish with the porch railings, but I will be able to finish it up on Monday. I studied Art History for an hour while I worked out on the treadmill. The endorphins,...

You will not believe what I did today....after cleaning up the 'range hood' that wasn't a range hood after all, I sprayed oven cleaner into the microwave, warning my daughter who was the only one home, not to use it until it had been wiped out. We left the chemicals to soak in and went to CostCo to... Sign in to see full entry.
I have the urge to LAUGH like a madwoman!....The range hood? WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ONE! No wonder I couldn't exactly remember....the ugly large range hood was at my LAST house....! This one just has a microwave over top, with fans, etc. It was basically a flat surface with some filters that I took... Sign in to see full entry.
I got all excited because I was sure the FlyLady took the weekend off...and, she does...but then I noticed she has this little area at the top of her page called, "FlySpots"...additional assignments for you to do throughout the week. You would not believe what this week's is.... The range hood. Ick.... Sign in to see full entry.
Why on earth am I up at 2:41 a.m.? Usually I am such a sleeper; can't get enough. Husband will be getting up to go hunting in a couple of hours. After spending too long tossing and turning, I decided to give him a break. It's no fun for anyone when I'm doing flip flops in the bed...so I woke up and... Sign in to see full entry.
