I have been struggling to crawl out of chaos. I haven't been able to do the baby steps at all. I have tried doing some crisis cleaning to get to a point where I can just do baby steps to keep it clean but not working. My living room is only half cluttered now. There are exactly 5 places to sit now. When peeps who know me and understand my clutter come over they don't have to stand they can sit. Laundry is trying to slip away from me. I will not let it go. I can't do a load a day as I don't have enough for that. And thus the habit doesn't take as well as I would like. And the last two loads didn't get put away for almost a week. Must change this now. Dishes are about a load and a half behind. With the set up of my kitchen there is no way to shine my sink unless I do my dishes. The kitchen itself is now reasonably decluttered. Should be able to set my timer once or twice to be able to get it cleaned. Need to sweep and vacuum the house. Small house will take less than 5 min. Being sick yesterday made it impossible to get the trash out. It gets picked up today so guess whats on the todo list.
The Flylady tools came in pretty quick. Minor problem tho. I put the sweepa together like it was supposed to according to the directions provided and the head piece snapped in the first 15 min. Curses ensued. it took me over a week to get it fixed. I tried a dowel and glue and that didn't work. so its duct tape. Duct tape fixes everything including rubba sweepas. My swiffer busted tho in a way that I can't fix yet. It won't squirt cleaning fluid anymore (pout). I think I still have my Clorox brand swiffer around here somewhere. I can use it as long as I can make sure the fluid is ok for hardwoods. If I have to I can get the swiffer bottle and pour it into a clorox swiffer bottle and use it that way. I love the purple rags in the bags and the swisha and the dish brushes as well. Haven't had an opp to use the scrubba yet. In fact I think it may have gotten lost in the clutter. Time to go try to find it by decluttering. I really need to use my timer more. *sighs* I am rambling again. Sorry. I need to find a home for the bin I use as a bath tub. No really I don't have a bathtub I have a shower stall and sometimes I just need a bath so I have a bin I use for that purpose. There is no room in the bathroom for it unfortunately.
I hate being sick and tired. I always end up seeing only the bad things and that starts me on a vicious cycle downwards. Well lets stop bitching about it and get started. First a load of towels and a cup of coffee...
