Good luck on the laundry thing! That's a hard one but would be awesome if you get it done. I'm usually pretty good about only having a load or two to be washed but there's usually mine and Scott's clothes to put away and the kids' shirts to hang (I wait 'til a couple of weeks' worth build up and hang them all at once - they sit on a laundry room shelf until then). At least I fold as they come out but it would be cool to get everything always put away. Not happening here though lol.
My current plan is to start over with Flylady. For real - no hidden agendas with big routines in the back of my mind. Obviously I'd like to do more than shine my sink but right now a shiny sink and a made bed are it. Just our bed, not the kids'. If our bed isn't made, because the "good" comforter goes in the floor while we sleep along with 6 decorative pillows, the extra bedding fills the floor and then the bedroom gets to be a mess. With it made, there's less overall mess in there. I guess chaos just breeds more chaos. Not to mention walking over all that bedding in the floor (small bedroom) makes it harder to put stuff away so we end up leaving stuff in the bedroom that should be taken out.
So right now my sink is shiny. There are dishes all over the counter around it but the sink is staying clean. So that's something anyway. And the bed makes me feel better. I should write out my monthly goals for the year but for now I just want to focus on the end of January and February (I started this a week or so ago).
Gonna go to the other thread
