Day 10

Well, I'm just going to throw it out there - I've been busy not doing anything new and I've been ignoring FlyLady.  The house hasn't gone to total crap or anything, I've kept up with what I had accomplished last week and my sink is still shining (though it wasn't this morning because I forgot to unload the dishwasher earlier and then I just didn't feel like it). 

That did not feel very good.  However, one little slip is not the end of the world and I have since unloaded the dishwasher and shined my sink.  But there is a basket of laundry... anyway.  Yes I threw myself into it last week and it felt awesome to accomplish so much in only one week.  Now I'm all... running the kids out here and there and I have appointments ... same stuff busy people do and I'm procrastinating just as I have in the past.

Although it pains me to say it, I figured it would be worth it so that you know it happens to others as well.  FlyLady sent a rant out the other day - somebody (or a few bodies) got on her nerves.  Summary?  You're a procrastinator and nothing will get done so long as you remain one.  Ouch.  A couple of days ago she sent a lovely email about keeping our routines up.  Maybe that's why I've kept up - nah, it's the fact that it's so freaking tidy to begin with.

She did say though that it will never be finished unless we remove the clutter.  I think that's where my procrastination is coming from.  Upstairs the only room that hasn't been decluttered to the same extent as the rest is mine and Geoff's.  I have to get rid of the junk drawer.  I don't even know what's in there but it might be absolutely precious.  Yeah, so precious that I only add things to it, never take away.  But, I was scared of Ethan's room too.  So much easier to get rid of the stuff I think is crap in his room though, because it's not my clutter. 

I will do it because I have to.  I need to clear out every piece of useless (to me) stuff in my house or eventually these hiding places will be too full and it will become a disaster again.  First thing tomorrow I think we have to go to the skate park again ... maybe not since Aaron earned his game finally.  Might be able to hit that dresser drawer.. and under the bed... I CAN DO THIS.  So can you.

Oh, and I will be moving this blog to my website as well; www.themomevolution.com I will probably keep posting here for the two readers who might be getting something out of it... You guys rock!
