Last night I found an article of MumtobeKim in which she talks about the FlyLady. I checked it out and found that it's a website to organize the home. You join the site through yahoo groups so I did and this morning I found a few emails on what I'm supposed to do this morning to be on my way to a clean, organized, less stressful house. It's simply amazing. Today I'm supposed to go through and get rid of paper clutter in one hot spot in the house for 15 minutes. I haven't done this particular task because I think it's something the hubby can do tonight. BUT, that said, I've done a load of laundry, dusted my cabinets (which I haven't done in months!), and cleaned some windows. After my roomba is done sweeping the kitchen floor, I will be mopping it shortly.
This is the most I've done in a one morning and I'm not even stressed out about it. What an amazing feeling. My house is far from being where I want it to be, but at least I'm doing something and I feel good. To top it off, Matthew and I have a great morning together. He helped me gather up the laundry and drop them in the washing machine. After that, I handed him one of my swiffer duster and taught him how to use it. He went around the house dusting EVERYTHING! He dusted his toys, the couch, the dogs.. yes, the dogs! It was so funny!
Well, hopefully I can keep up with the FlyLady. Thanks MumtobeKim! |
