Day 1 with Flylady!

 

Day 1 and I was not off to a good start. I went to bed too late the night before and I had a little too much junk food the day before so when I woke up early in the morning to go and let our ducks out I was tired and I had a bad attitude. I just really could not be bothered with anything, I didn't want to tidy up and I certainly didn't want to shine my sink.

Usually after dinner I just crash even the thought of having to get up and deal with the dishes was out of the question, there was many a night where I would even leave the left over food on the plate until the next morning, How embarrassing!!

So after dinner last night you would think I would be jumping up to do the dishes and shine my sink, well think again. I just left all the dishes on the table and sat down to watch some TV, avoiding them completely. Then I saw this quote and decided that maybe shining my sink maybe be worth the trouble. 

It was 10pm at night and nearly time for  bed, but I decided that if Miss E helped me it wouldn't take long, so within 20 minutes we had loaded the dishwasher, washed and dried the few dishes that needed it and cleaned the benches.

The real surprise was this morning when I walked into our clean kitchen and for the first time in ages I had a smile on my face and peace in my heart.

Starting over with Flylady

Where has January gone? It seems to has rushed by and all the plans I had for using the January school holidays to sort through my home and organise it seem to have rushed by as well.

So starting today I am going to be going through Flylady's 31 days of beginner baby steps:

For the last 5 months I have been eating the Paleo way with the addition of some dairy. My health has improved considerably but I have realised how closely related being organised within my home and eating healthy are. If the kitchen is cluttered and dishes have not been washed I am not motivated to cook healthy meals for my family.

Its not only restricted to the kitchen I'm sad to say I have many areas of clutter that need my attention but instead of dealing with them I have been avoiding them by watching TV or being on the internet.

I know that I'm not alone, my friend and myself are committing ourselves, our families and our homes to making a change by using the flylady methods.

If you would like to follow along, click on the above link that will give you all the details and I will be posting here everyday for the next 31 days all the accomplishments and all the fails.

God bless
