February Review
I have not done routines in February. The house completely fell apart. I did all of the laundry on the weekends and the house was generally a mess.
I am mad that I did not keep up with flylady.com. I totally ignored morning, afternoon, and evening routines. Charlie and Carrie Beth have been doing pretty good with the morning routine. However, that is where it has stopped.
Me ma Noon has come to Durham for a long visit. In order to get ready for her visit I did a couple of things. First, about a week before she was scheduled to arrive Charlie, Carrie Beth and I cleaned their bedrooms and the middle room. By encouraging the morning routine and picking up at night before bed we were able to maintain the upstairs. Since Me ma arrived on Monday I had the weekend to get ready. So, Friday night Charlie and Fred went to the Flyer's vs. Hurricane's game. Carrie Beth and I did a detailed cleaning/straightening of the downstairs. (I owe Carrie Beth a prize for her help). She really worked hard and helped me accomplish a lot. We did a typical crisis clean. We We worked hard for 15 minuets and then took Kai for a walk around the circle. Carrie Beth loved helping and walking the dog. I was was very impressed with her willingness to assist with the cleaning.
Saturday and Sunday I continued to work on small cleaning projects and got the laundry caught up. Monday morning all we had left was the dusting and vacuuming. Overall, it was not hard to get ready but I know I had been up on the house routines I would have not had hardly anything to do.
Me ma arrived right on time at Noon!
Have a great day, Nicole
