Day 10 Mom's Birthday

Happy Birthday Mom!

Monday!  Home blessing Day.  Goal:  Today I am going to get back on track.  Today I was able to get our house back in order.  I did a mini home blessing by dusting and generally picking up the miscellaneous items that were deposited in the kitchen.  Somehow, it seems that the kitchen is the "hot spot!"

The biggest success that I see so far personally is laundry.  I hardly have any laundry in the dirty baskets.  It has not been much trouble at all.  So far it has been about 1 to 2 loads per day.  The key for me is to not skip a day.

Fred and I put the Christmas decorations up on the shelves in the garage tonight and Fred did some work in the laundry room.  Fred is still kind of making fun of my blog.  But, I think blogging is helping me really think about what I am doing with flylady and spending. 

I can not believe that it in January 10th.  Really, it feels like I have been doing this forever.  2011 is starting off as a really long year.  I have several things to encourage me to continue to keep me on the routine track.  Fred's mom is going to come for a visit at the end of February and I am having book club here in March.

I have not done any shopping.  I ordered groceries on Saturday just in case of bad weather.  We are having some snow/ice today and tomorrow.  We already have a delay of 2 hours for both schools tomorrow.  I joined the mailing list for free cycle today.  I got the Hanna Anderson catalog in the mail today.  I started to flip through it and was looking at some shorts.  I showed them to Carrie Beth and told her I might order them for her.  Then I caught myself and said, never mind I am not buying anything new this year.  I tossed the catalog right in the trash. 

Tonight I need to tidy the kitchen again.  Other than that the house in pretty good shape.  The kids are doing great with their routines.  I need to declutter the shelves that house the toys.  There are many toys that need to be given  away.  If school is closed tomorrow I am going to work on those shelves.  The kids don't really want to do it but they LOVE it when it is done.  I will do before and after pictures and jazz up this little blog.

Have a great night Love, Nicole
