Fly Lady

I just found out about this website last night called flylady.com. It is a website dedicated to teaching you how to get in a routine of cleaning and de-cluttering your house or any space. It takes you through baby steps to making a new habit in your life. I started following the steps tonight. It is my attempt to get more organized at home and get rid of things in our tiny house that don't need to be hanging out here anymore. We are so busy, especially during the week, that by the time the weekend comes, our house looks like a tornado hit. (Tornado Mia!) But we work so hard during the week, it sure does stink to have to spend our whole weekend cleaning. So I am determined to get this place organized and on a schedule so I can breathe a sigh of relief every morning when I leave for work, knowing that I am leaving my house in good status for the day. I wish I could be more of a morning person so I could take care of a lot of these items before work. But you all know how I cherish my morning sleep time!!!

I will let you know how flylady.com is helping me as I go. Check out the site if you are interested in de-cluttering your life as well!!

Idle Thoughts...

Well, you can tell we have not been really doing much of anything lately. I have no new :out and about: pictures. Just some shots from around the house. We have been homebodies for the most part. With the exception of being at The Riverwalk for two weekends in a row! Work is just really busy and my brain goes into idle status from the second I hit home. About another month or two and we might be able to say we are at a steady status again. Year end is always so busy. Then we roll right into January and then we have two back to back audits. I do need to find myself a Wonder Woman coffee mug. Because sometimes I feel a lot like that is who people expect me to be! I did have Wonder Woman Under Roos when I was little. Maybe my Mom knew what my life had in store for me!

I am sure everyone feels like this. So please don't pity me. That certainly is not what I want. But if you are along with me in this crazy boat. Isn't it so fun?! Don't get me wrong, work is very rewarding when I feel like I am making a difference. One thing that would be nice is if I were a bit better at organizing at home and getting my fam on a better schedule. I am really a schedule person. If everything had a schedule, I would really breathe better! :O)

My office at work could sure use a cleaning as well. Maybe tomorrow morning I will go in super early and clean it before I get my day started. Or maybe I will just sleep a little longer and clean it later. Yep, that sounds good. Sure wish I were a morning person!

Slow Down Sunday

Today was a very relaxing Sunday. We got a lot done around the house. Including lots of laundry. Mia finally got some rest to recover from her sleep over on Friday night! The dogs lounged around all day as well. This picture was taken after I moved the chairs out from the table to wash the floors. Hannah somehow managed to get her favorite things all situated under the table. She has her bed, her dog bowl and her favorite squeaky duck. I thought it was hilarious. At one point she had the bed out on the deck, but all of the sudden there it was under the table, with all of her faves safely tucked inside.

I still have some work to do tonight. But feel good that we got some work done today around here. :O)

Mia's Chores

Thank goodness for a little help with Mia's weekly plethora of dirty
clothes!
Maybe she will feel the pain from the magnitude of all of the clothes
she wears! I wonder if she will be this excited every Sunday!
