Uh, did you say organized? Ho ho, maybe FlyLady can help?

I think Fly Lady was a KO, too. Lots of us KOs lived in chaos and hadn't

learned from our nadas how to get organized/fly.

I cleaned my kitchen sink today.

What an interesting observation, Edith. It does look like " flylady " was a

child in a very chaotic situation. Especially when you consider everything

is precisely measured by " days " and " how long it takes to retain a

routine " .........I am the opposite. I think we either are flyladies, or

like me, there is a method to my disorganizational madness (my nada could

never find a damn thing in my room growing up).

Rosie, I am very sorry for not answering this before now. I have been unable

to check my email lately as I am learning a new thing. I am very determined

to do it right. I am learning the accounting part of my husbands job. He is

buying a tractor trailer truck. He has to keep up with everything else & I

have to do the book work. I know more about book keeping ( I have had an

accounting class 20 years ago) & he is a better trucker than I am. So he is

doing what he does best & I am doing what I do best. I am a little on the

rusty side so I will be getting some books to relearn what I have forgotten

& then continue to go farther. I am finding that the more I mess with it the

more I remember. I wish that I still had a copy of the cassette tapes I made

of my professors teachings back then. Unfortunately those things got broken

when precious dirty little hands stuck them into little mouths & fingers

pulled out all the string they found inside.

At one time I tried to do flylady. There were too many emails & I could

never be on line when I needed to do this or that. I tried digest, but they

were too long & I never got them when I needed them. I have found the best &

quickest method to getting anything done is to just pitch in and get the job

done. My biggest problem is that I get sidetracked by the kids a lot & I

have a lot to do. There's cleaning the house, homeschooling the kids, they

volunteer at the library so they have to go on a call. I now have paperwork

to do, papers to grade & file, lessons to plan, Among all the other mommy

things there are to do & I am stretched thin enough, but when my arthritis &

other bone, muscle, & joint problems flair up, I get way behind again.

I will find a better way for me in getting the stuff done that I need to get

done. I have also had a lot of stomach problems lately. the more my stomach

bothers me the more tired I seem to stay. But thank you for the thoughtful

suggestion.
