No make-up needed! <br /><br />I have tried to follow FlyLady's ways for years but get stuck on the "rules" too. Although I have managed to make getting dress w/lace up shoes a regular part of my morning, I have failed miserably with the kitchen until I gave that chore to Jasmine. She now does a wonderful job of doing all my after dinner cleanup including the sink. <br /><br />Decluttering is still a major problem area for me (as you have seen in my home), but it is one area that I am working to make better daily. Wish I didn't have my love affair with all things paper, especially books!Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176257300500423625.post-84197453508165131412010-01-26T21:47:23.452-05:002010-01-26T21:47:23.452-05:00I tried living the Fly Lady way a few years back, ...I tried living the Fly Lady way a few years back, but failed miserably. Honestly I couldn't even keep up with the emails. I applaud your efforts!<br /><br />I lived in Maine for six years and my heart is still there. Many of our closest friends live in Maine.<br /><br />I love your blog layout!

I know that feeling allto well...<br /><br /> youknow, those 80 used books could also go to your local library, just a thought! :)<br /><br /><br />as for showered, dressed and made up before breakfast... that is rarely ever me. why? because I get the kids up after I take the puppies out. um... one of the kids is usually up,and the other one up but confined... I can't take a shower unless I am up before he is! so, unless I get up at five, in which case I would have to be in bed by nine, and hat's not happening, I have to make do with taking a shower while the kids are eating breakfast. Every other day. Yup. I hate taking showers every day. it's actually not healthy to do so. O:) <br /><br />I say good job for donating so much stuff,and getting rid of that many things to throw away! LOL...<br /><br />and you know you can shine that sink, but the husband and the kids (and in my case, the cats who drink from the leaky bathroom sink), will just get it dirty again in five minutes! :)))Mountain Mama's Musings and Makingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501731371359188626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176257300500423625.post-76165549806710407222010-01-26T06:14:56.205-05:002010-01-26T06:14:56.205-05:00I have a 17-year-old daughter, and I don't bel...I have a 17-year-old daughter, and I don't believe she'll respect me until she moves out and gets to find out what it's like to support herself. So hang in there.<br /><br />I checked out this flylady.net website. Maybe I'll look it over some more, but I doubt that I could follow her plan. I'm too impatient for those baby steps. Anyways, my son was hoping we'd have a garage sale so he could sell hot dogs and lemonade, so I might have to wait on the 27-things donate list.Clementine Moonflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047439044788435017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176257300500423625.post-26715614803672207772010-01-26T01:33:19.229-05:002010-01-26T01:33:19.229-05:00oh my goodness, i am laughing so hard, i was final...oh my goodness, i am laughing so hard, i was finally really tired and ready to go to bed and fall asleep and then i read your blog and have probably woke everyone up wondering what i am laughing at. girl you crack me up. i am still at the shine my sink stage, i cant go fwd. and fascist, wayyyy tooo hilarious! and the leleche. i went to ONE meeting and had to leave. i weaned my son at 6 months (had to return to work & was difficult to go in work closet & pump) and my daughter around 10 months (just because she liked sippy cups better & was a piglet and she needed more supply than i could demand to come out of my body. so bahahaha going to try and sleep now hugspamnoreply@blogger.com
