I'm Flying!!

Well, I'm doing it again! I'm "TRYING" to FLY again! Ever heard of FlyLady? It's actually a really good site and they have lots of great info for getting your house in order and KEEPING IT THAT WAY! Of course the initial getting it in order part is hard enough. But I've decided that I've got to do something.

Since we moved into this house in May I've kind of had a hard time keeping up. Not with major stuff. I mean the house is "clean enough". I wouldn't be embarrassed to have someone drop by for a visit. Unless they decided to check out the corners and found all of those pesky little cobwebs. Or if they decided to check in my bathroom and found how my towels seem to leave a purple fuzz over the entire room, or that half of my hair ends up on the floor every darn day!!!

But overall, it's clean- well, except for my desk which it appears can only be clean for a maximum of 10 minutes before papers start multiplying again! It's actually rather scary!

I signed up for FlyLady twice before. Once when my kids were much smaller and life in general was overwhelming. Trying to keep up with which Zone I was supposed to be cleaning which week just became a bit too much. The other time, well let's just say that I did more crashing than flying!

So this time I am determined to get it in gear and keep up with everything. Right now I'm still just getting my feet wet again and trying to get my daily and weekly schedules set. I want to start trying to sell Ebay from my home for others so I know I've got to get organized and get my act together before I can even think about starting that adventure.

If you want to find out more about FlyLady take a buzz over to her website and read about it. But be warned, if you sign up you'll receive a TON and I do mean a TON of e-mails (reminders, information about what you should be doing that week, tesitmonials, etc). That's why I set up a completely seperate e-mail account just for FlyLady.

Time to go shine my sink! If you go to the website you'll understand!!! LOL

I am a Domestic Goddess

Yes, I am a domestic goddess- just ask my dear husband! ok, maybe that isn't such a good idea- but I did get so much accomplished yesterday that I feel like a domestic goddess!

I painted the downstairs bathroom- now listen - to you that might not seem like much but I am SO not a painter (btw I'll show before and afters on Tackle it Tuesday of next week).

I also washed and folded 3 loads of laundry, cleaned off my desk (ok, I dumped everything from my desk into the clean clothes hamper but tonight I'm sorting through all of that!)

And I actually COOKED dinner- and nothing was cooked in the microwave either! We had meatloafball muffins, real mashed potatoes and green beans with a touch of liquid smoke - yummy!!!

Then I cleaned the kitchen and went upstairs and soaked in the tub while I read Harry Potter and sipped a glass of wine- what a perfect way to treat myself after my hard days work!

Ok, ok, I know many of you are saying- oh big deal is that all you did! But for me it was a day full of accomplishment.

So now I'm gonna start my own Domestic Goddess award(I hope this hasn't been done already)! I'm gonna nominate two fellow bloggers that I feel deserve the Domestic Goddess award for various reasons! Here are my nominations:

Beth F. over at I Should be Folding Laundry because the woman actually mopped her floor after eating too much pizza!!!

Boomamma- what other person can take a trip to the doctor to get her ears cleaned out and turn it into a reason to clean her house!!

So ladies! Chose the next two Domestic Goddesses!!!
