I haven't done very well this week. I've had lots of excuses for not doing the complete list of daily tasks every single day. I think that a lot of that has to do with the house being ultra clean on Tuesday for the party, and then too much for me to handle cleaning up immediately (at least I told myself it was too much). So half of the problem … [Read more...]
My New Non-Negotiable for the Week
I didn't add a new non-negotiable last week. Since I didn't get back until Monday evening, it really never occurred to me, and things were so off schedule last week that it was a bit pointless anyway. I've managed to not let the house become a total sty this week. Just a half-way sty. I've tried to be "aware" of the clutter and the need to clean … [Read more...]
New Non-Negotiable for the Week
I'm actually excited about this one. For several weeks now, I've been working on laundry. Laundry gets on my nerves. I still don't have it conquered, by any means. I did do better this week, but it's definitely not a habit yet. But I am tired of different aspects of laundry dominating my non-negotiables for the last few weeks. So while I'm going … [Read more...]
Getting back on Track
Finally a normal Monday, except that I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open. I thoroughly enjoyed working on and doing the show I was in this weekend, but it has reminded me why I can't do it on a regular basis at this time in my life. I knew this, but now I know this. Life, especially as a mom, is all about priorities. I'm constantly … [Read more...]
My new Non-Negotiable for the Week
We had a busy, fun weekend. I posted early Saturday morning, but then never sat down to post again. But I did do most of my tasks this weekend. I cleaned and swept the kitchen both days, picked up the main areas on both days, and cleaned the main bathroom, vacuumed and probably a few more things. I didn't wipe down the bathrooms at night, or … [Read more...]
New Non-negotiable Task for the Week – Refocus
We spent all day yesterday at a Boy Scout Family Campout, hence the lack of posts. We didn't actually spend the night either night, just went for the day. It was a blast, and it was enough. So today I've just now been thinking about my new task for the week. At first, I'll admit, my mind was blank. I have so very far to go to get this house … [Read more...]
My New Non-Negotiable Task for the Week
I'm back! We actually got back on Saturday night, but yesterday was so busy and I was exhausted, so I'm just now getting back to the blog. The wedding went well, and I did forget mascara, the one thing my mother doesn't have. Oh well, I just looked like I was half-asleep. The great thing about having the flower girl for a daughter is that no one … [Read more...]
My new non-negotiable for the week
It's Sunday night and that means that it's time to add a new non-negotiable task for the week. These are the things that I can't make excuses about. Although I did. Last night. Last night I didn't do the bathroom counter and toilet wipe-down. The guilt is bad. I didn't want to do it. I was exhausted and also knew that since we would be having … [Read more...]
Time to Add a New Non-Negotiable Task
It's Sunday, and that means that it's time to add a new non-negotiable task for the week. I've been debating about this one. I could add the swish to the swipe from last week. Flylady calls the daily bathroom quick-clean the "swish and swipe." This would mean that when I wipe down the counters and toilet in the bathrooms, I would use the toilet … [Read more...]
