Adventures in FLYing

Today I became a FLYbaby. Through the big cloth diaper hunt at diaperdecisions.com I found out about flylady.net, which is a site designed to help those of us that are too perfectionist to clean our houses. We have an all or nothing approach, meaning if we can't do it all right now, exactly how it is supposed to be done, then we don't do it. I am very guilty of being this way. It is so easy to be overwhelmed thinking I need to clean the whole house and have it perfect RIGHT NOW! She breaks things down and will help me to get into good habits. Day 1 baby step is to shine my sink(!) So I have. Here's a picture
Yay for a clean sink!
So I am on my way. I hope it helps, my house is generally a wreck. I don't know how I managed to never learn from mom. She is good at keeping her house clean. Not perfect like a museum, which isn't what I want, but nice and clean and a nice place to spend time. I want a house that makes you feel good to be in, and so when I wake up in the morning I'm not already discouraged because the house is a mess, and so when Whit gets home he feels good being here and can relax with me and the girls. And not having to clean the whole kitchen before I have enough dishes to make dinner would be great.
