    Oh cool, thanks.

    I like the idea of adding it slowly and I do like the idea of getting my clothes ready when I put the washing away. That probably is the most difficult bit in the morning and contributes to the mess in my room!

    Or the sink, 'cause I don't shine that very regularly...

    I found it was really hard to get to all the night time stuff when my children were under 6yrs. I keep trying to simplify some things in my life with the kids so it is easier. It is a process and can take time. Hang in there.

    Try to look at why something is so hard. When I started with my first baby it was crazy in my house. The toys were taking over then I decided toys are for the playroom only. This has done alot to simplify my life.

    If you have a gifted intense kid(S) then it's even harder.

    Today is Day 27: What's For Dinner?

    Agggggggggh!

    Parenting duty most likely to make me want to run for the hills!

    Actually we do have a routine in my Family - DH and I meal plan/weekly schedual plan on Sunday nights and Wednesday nights. 3 dinner seems about all I can plan ahead for.

    Flylady suggests that as part of the AM or PM routine one adds the line - "What's for Dinner?"

    Best Wishes,
    Grinity

    There was a peanut butter smudge on my sink and some cocoa power spilled next to it (1/4 teaspoon max) this morning. I was in a hurry, but after months of Flylady training I could NOT leave it without wiping it up smile Still a lot of clutter (kitchen table = home office, and has for months... must find time to move home office into actual home office space, which does exist -- and is even clean, after using Flylady 15 minute technique on it last winter). I guess my new tecnique for keeping the home office clean is to not use it... But I figure it is a good sign that I couldn't leave that smear on the sink today.

    Here's my take the stress out of it meal plan, just give each day a theme and then add variations.

    (I have a picky 7 & 10 year old)

    Monday- Breakfast foods: pancakes, waffles, egg sandwich,ect.
    Tuesday- Hotdog or sausage
    Wed- Hamburger,sloppy joe or pulled pork sand.
    Thurs- Chicken or Pasta
    Friday - Stir fry or Tacos
    Saturday - Soup or Stew
    Sunday - Roast - Chicken or porkloin
    Usually I have some leftovers from the weekend and can skip a day cooking during the week.

    Jump in where you are dear BWBShari! Sorry to be renting space in your head over this. Can you bribe one of the children to do it?

    Love and More Love,

    Today is day 28: Eat good Food - Drink your Water - and get your Rest!

    Wise Words!

    Intparent - so glad you didn't let that mess harden!
    OTG - love your dinner plan!
