I am out of cleaning mode now, kinda like “off the clock” lol
I finished the one load of laundry, it’s washed, dried and put away.
I cleaned out both fridges (I have a big American one and a small, very small German one). I actually wiped them all down nice on the inside, threw away the “science experiments” aka leftovers, washed the containers, dried them, put them away and cleaned out the sink. It’s shiny again and there is NOTHING in or around it! It’s amazing how a clean kitchen sink can actually make you feel good.
Trash has been put out.
Moved a cabinet from living room to dining room to finally take my bubble gum machine off the floor (it’s been there since I unpacked it 6 months ago!), and put said machine ON the cabinet.
Cleaned up the cat stuff, moved her dishes where they won’t get kicked anymore by the kids.
Planned dinner and sent shopping list to Kevin so he can get what I need. We’ve been down to one car this week, so I haven’t been shopping yet for real…but now there’s room in the fridge for when I do go
When I did the flylady thing before, her emails annoyed me, they really did. But NOW since I am hours ahead of flylady, when I get the emails, I say to myself “check” because I’ve already done them
I don’t get the reminders starting first thing in the morning. I have downloaded the flylady toolbar, which has a cool button that says “Remind” and when it drops down, it tells me what to do for the day.
I’m not doing her morning routine exactly, but I think her point is to get a routine that works for us. I am not about to get out of bed at 5 am before my family every morning, it’s just not going to happen. The small changes are helping a LOT …
Did I tell you it’s not sunny today? NO, it’s cold and rainy again, dark and cloudy, but it’s ok, because the house feels cleaner, and my dining room makes me smile. It’s not decluttered 100% but there are some pretty purple tulips in the middle of the table, so all is well.
