To shine your sink you have to do the dishes. If you're having a bad day you delete everything LOL. Honestly though she's really helped me to pare down to the important things and get rid of all the crap. Every afternoon after lunch (naptime) before I check my email I spend 15 minutes sorting threw something a closet, a drawer, a box in the garage and throw stuff out or box it up. My house does look pretty good if you don't count all s crap all over the floor. but the floor is clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 OK here's my 2 cents... while I wait for the computer to boot up I go threw a handful of mail. I have an in box and once stuff is paid it gets filed (I have a lock to prevent s compulsive emptying behavior). PEE - I do not clean pee he can pee in his bathroom the master bath is mine and I clean that. He pees on the floor he can clean the bath. When he sees how nice and clean my bath is it usually guilts him into doing so. Why do they teach men to stand if they can't aim LOL. When I want a major project like something in the attic I say hun can you just help me for 10 minutes this is just too heavy. He will always help me. We do ten minutes in the garage every weekend. I am hopeful that we will finish putting things away just in time to take them down and sell them at our annual garage sale in June. I vacumn every single day. My husband is suppose to change clothes after work but something always prevents that and he only changes shoes. So I vacumn to prevent any metal chips from escaping my notice. We have a self propelled vacumn so helps. Instead of a toybox I have a couple $4 bins from WalMart. s toys go in there and the two get rotated so that she will start with new toys every couple weeks. I am hoping she will play with blocks someday. the magna doodle is a keeper though. I totally agree about the kitchen though, waking up to a messy kitchen is a crappy way to start the day!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 Grace, I take it back. I'm not moving to California. I like you too much long-distance but in the same state we would hate each other. People like you don't NEED Flylady. -Sara. who thinks Grace must have OCD.

We could definitely live together. And I will concoct a natural spider-and-germ-repellant which Enrique can spray anywhere and everywhere. When we had a house our garbage men hated us and they let us know about it. Even in the back of the house with the windows shut you could hear them complaining. -Sara.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 > > I only keep the books that I have read three or more times... my little house > series the lion the witch and the wardrode, the black stallion the hobbit > series and educational books. Everything else either goes to the library > (why I don't buy books anyone #1 frugel tip) or gets thrown in the yard sale > box. I cannot go to libraries or video stores because we never return anything and thus it costs us more than to buy it in the first place. But I do get rid of books that I don't use pretty actively. It's just that I really do use my books and read them over and over or look things up over and over in books that are for looking up. And with five kids it is pretty hard to be certain that the book will not be adored by someone soon. > > Toys that she doesn't play with that cost over $20 are saved in the attic for > my brother in case he has kids... everything under $20 is sold for $5 at > previously mentioned annual yard sale. Like I said, I'll shoot myself first. I throw away toys that cost under $20 but I don't think I have very many of those. I am full of Playmobil and Brio and such. I buy GOOD toys. And they get good use but they are still taking over the house. > > Guess you couldn't have Enrique walk around with a vacumn? He loathes the sound of the vacuum cleaner so he can only vacuum if he can cover his ears at the same time? Some kind of fanny pack vacuum or something, LOL. Wish I had some > advice but I figure none is better than bad. best of luck with everything. That's okay, 0 Salli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 In a life without kids, I would have LOVED that feeling though. Hmm.... maybe I am a bit bizarre? Grace ----------- You just made me remember something....dh and I were watching TV the other night and a commercial for Ortho-Novum Birth Control Pills came on....Happy couples dancing, smiling, alone...etc.etc. We both just watched and dh finally said " So THAT's what people are like without children " . hmph.
