be a flylady

I have an outline for the CJ now, but I’m not sure on joining fly lady. Maybe I’m just too young, Maybe I’m just too organized already, Maybe I’m just too European… I don’t know but something about it seems obsessive and I don’t want to be that way.. Maybe I should figure out my own way of being a fly lady…? We’ll see for now I’ll sleep on it.

week routine mind map.

Weekly Home Blessing Hour means: (put it in CJ somewhere when I figure out where…)
Cull/toss old magazines.
Change sheets.
Empty all the trash.
Vacuum all rooms.
Mop kitchen and bath.
Clean mirrors and doors.

morning routine. DONE!
I do realize that flylady is about keeping you house clean and everything, but really ‘Swish the toilet and wipe down the counters’ of the bathroom everyday? I live alone and I’m studying and I have a life…

before bed time routine – Done
minus plastic sheets as I’m using a notebook… will this be a problem?

is basically getting something to write in. DONE! I’ll use my notebook with the Chinese cloth on in…(it’s really pretty and I’ve been saving it for something special)

I want to be a flylady, and in the spirits of babysteps I want to start by making a control journal (I tend to like every thing named control!)... even though I don’t really know what it is yet…

I would love to be a flylady. But I realize that as long as I work these 12 hour shifts I am never going to be one. All my housework is pretty much done during one half of the week and I really just get the basics done on the days I work. Oh well, one day maybe… I am still keeping this on the list for now.

I really am going to do this, I was just getting frustrated with myself because I wasnt doing well. In fact wasnt starting at all. But I now realize thats its ok because I am still getting things done, its just that I have to finish moving in first before I can actually get into my routine!

A little difficulty getting started on this. I work 12 hour shifts, which means on the days that I do work I really dont have a lot of time for much more than a quick clean up and load of laundry. After dinner, supervising homework, and the miscellaneous stuff that comes along I havent had a chance yet to get started on this project. I want to get an organizer made first, with a calendar for the family. I am not going to beat myself up about this yet, I still am feeling motivated and will make this work for my schedule. I do have 4 days off one week and then 3 days off the next so I can get a lot done on those days. Its just frustrating that I havent even finished getting out things moved into this house yet. I have to keep in mine that this was a crazy time to movve, with back to school, etc and that I have time still.

Fresh new house, fresh new start. I am planning on getting started right and will be doing flylady from the beginning.
