Control Journals & Calendars

So, how's that control journal coming???? Got it done??? Do you at least have the pages printed out? Mine's done. Of course I have had mine done for about two years. Do I use it?? WEEEELLLLL, not like I should. You should know you've been in my house.

I know you are busy beyond belief but try printing out the front page tonight. That's all. Nothing else. And  of course don't forget your bedtime routine and shining your sink.

My routine? Well, my sink is shiny, my bed it made, my FlyLady emails deleted. I'm still having a hard time remembering to lay out my clothes for the next day. I finally have my room back and it's such a pleasure to see no clutter and it so clean that I hate laying out my clothes. I just seems to make the room look undone somehow.

Are you keeping a Calendar??? I have several. One is my email program where I write everything down. But I also have one in my purse for when I'm out and someone gives me a date or I make an appointment I write it down. But I have a problem of not remembering to enter it into my calendar on my computer.

Things here are not busy per se but I have a houseful of kids! So things don't always get done like they should. I'm forever tying knots in water balloons, emptying kiddie pools and refilling them, getting splinters out of feet, applying Band-Aids, and taking the houseful of kids to the pool.

I tend to get a little frustrated when I can't get my routine done when I want it done. Going with the flow has been a learning experience for me this week. But that being said, my husband has mentioned to me that I seem more in control of the house now. Funny, I don't feel that way but I'll take the compliment. I'm happy he had noticed a difference.

Hope you are plugging along on your baby steps. You can do it. I know you can!!!
