Anti Social

I generally go thru an anti social phase every couple of months. And I think I'm entering it right now. Today everything I read online in the groups and forums I visit is just pissing me off. And they are things that shouldn't. Or at least wouldn't usually. So if I don't talk to you or answer your IM or text or whatever...I'm sorry....I'm just trying to avoid saying the wrong thing to the wrong person right now.

A flylady update

So I've been trying this flylady thing. I'm not 100% with it. There are things I still don't do. It will take me awhile to get into the routine. But I have noticed a change. And the funniest thing is that whenever I get up to do 15 minutes of housework (dishes, laundry, whatever) I always put my shoes on. (it's one of the things they recommend..."they're your dancing shoes"... and hey! It really does make a difference...when I don't have them on I'm less motivated) I just have these slip on pretty sandals, but they work!

For instance, today I was cleaning up the kitchen. As I finished the dishes I was gonna wipe down the counters but couldn't find the cleaning spray. That's when I remembered I had given it to Kevin yesterday to wipe down the table outside when he BBq'd. Instead of moaning about it and giving up....I went outside to get it! I mean, I already had my shoes on, right?

I know this means nothing to anyone else but me. I'm proud of myself tho. I've never been one for housework. I've always been taken care of. So, while I still have awhile to go before I have all the flylady routines implemented, I'm taking those babysteps to improve my life and my husband's. I'm not afraid to have unannounced guests anymore. And someday I will be clutter free.
