Ok, they say third time's a charm...
Now that I'm home and somewhat settled in, I'm BACK on the FLY-wagon. For the love of my sanity, someone please help me make sure I stay there!
I have very definitive goals (besides just staying on the damn wagon this time):
We want to have a birthday cook-out for Ivy on Saturday, September 2. I'm hoping that my dad, sister, brother, etc. can come up. I want my house to be Company Ready.
My church is doing the 4T Prosperity program again this September. I want to take it. I've taken it a few times before, and it *always* helps me. I'm hoping that it will help me solidify my doula business a bit more. The only problem - I don't know where my workbook & cassettes are. They're supposed to be somewhere around here ... I need to find them in time to sign up. *fingers crossed*
Got dressed to the shoes
Did dishes
Did my load of laundry for the day (ok, Mount Washmore isn't all done & they're not all put away, but baby steps)
Shined my sink! For good this time!
Swept the floors
Mopped the floors
Bathed the dog
Washed the tub
Josh even pitched in - he vacuumed and cleaned the bedroom (a feat in itself; that bedroom was getting icky).
I may even do an evening routine, if I get back to being motivated. I hope to at least stay caught up with the daily missions through the email group and going through the daily baby-steps in the welcome letter.
I MUST stick with it this time! Lord knows, this family needs routine. And Ivy's all too quick to get into, well, everything.

What would you define as motivation? An email every day saying 'Hey, can you see the floor?'...or maybe posting a picture of each room in the house every day? My bestest friend wasn't a neat freak like me, so every time i went over i'd end up cleaning stuff...that actually motivated her to do it, as she felt bad when i did it for her! :D
Sounds like a really good day! i can already picture you finding the workbooks and cassettes when you least expect it during a flurry of activity...and i hope all goes well for Ivy's party.
I know I tend to start out all gung-ho and then not stick with it. I'd love to have a partner! lol (FLY lady is awesome even for folks who are BO - Born Organized). Or at least someone who might notice if I stop posting my progress and say, "Hey, how's that FLYing going?" Right now I'm still at the just-starting phase, and I don't even have set routines. I'm still 'baby-stepping' it for now, but I want to add more routines and eventually set up my own Control Journal. For starts, my goal now is to keep my sink shiny, keep up with the daily assignment in our 'Zones', and do at least 15 minutes of cleaning a day. Hopefully I'll do even more than that, but that's the *least* I want to get accomplished every day.
I sure hope you're right about that 4T stuff! I've thought about it, and I think I know where the workbook is, but I have no clue where (all) my cassettes are. I sincerely hope they *are* here somewhere.
:D
:P
David Blaine did it for 7 minutes and 8 seconds.
I'm sure you can top that faker.
I totally dig David Blaine. He kicks ass.
Right now, I'm concentrating on trying to sacralize my material plane responsibilities that I'd just as soon ignore: home making, exercise, cooking, finances. . . I've always lived so much in my head and in the spiritual realm (except for sexuality!) that this stuff all seemed like a waste of time and energy. But now I'm a single parent, and there's no one to do this stuff but me. My daughter helps, but she's too young to be self-starting about it.
Good luck with your goals!
FLYlady actually does a lot of stuff now on exercise/drinking water, cooking, FACEing your finances...she says her supporty group is more like a template, and you should adjust it to fit your needs. You're welcome to join up with me if you think doing it with a partner would help you, too. I think I need one.
But thanks so much for your encouragement!
It's one area of my life where my offline friends (or even my online ones, come to think of it) don't seem to have the same trouble I do.
Yes, let's see if we can help each other.
Thank you!
