I need a new challenge, something that will really get me going. I am going to de-clutter this house if it kills me! I am going to take my life back one day at a time! I am going to take my kids lives back for them too!!!
I want to have my house in order so that I can do what matters most to me: be the "Susie-homemaker mom"! I have so many projects that I really want to do, and the only thing keeping me from doing that is all the cleaning that I have to do everyday. I love to quilt and bake and cook, even hang out with my kids.......crazy, I know, but when I don't have to worry about the mess I am surrounded by, I really enjoy my family. Clutter has taken over our home. Toys at every corner. All I ever say is clean, clean, clean. There has got to be a better way. A way where really it stays clean for the most part! I need to get rid of all that is standing in our way from a peaceful life where we can enjoy each other. I think that even means eliminating the tv........yes, I said it! For the most part I mean. Occasional television isn't the enemy, it is the sucked in, glued to the tube kind of stuff that needs to go away......my kids are like zombies when the tv is on, I'd rather just not have one at all. Although I do like a good laugh with my husband at the end of a long day!
Step 1: I signed up for "flylady" an on-line website that helps you retrain your way of thinking about cleaning.
Step 2: Start the routine.
I am going to push myself to do this. Let's see it is August 29th 2010........I want to have the inside of my house "set up" and de-cluttered in one month. The garage is a month within itself! Ha! So I have 30 days and counting to get my whole house in ship shape order.
Week one will be taking back my kitchen, front entry, and living room. My biggest challenge: The Laundry room.......DUHHHHH DUNNNNNN DUHHHHH!!!!!!! I swear I have a mud monster in there secretly finding all the clean clothes and licking them.......ugh!
30 Days to a whole new house is going to be rough since my monkeys, I mean......kids can wreck a clean room in 15 minutes flat!
well let's do this,
Cause after-all.......There is NO cure for Crazy!
