Welcome to day 20! http://www.flylady.net/pages/bbd20.aspToday we are asked to add laundry to our daily routines. I've been pretty lucky in the laundry department - DH does all his own! Also - I always enjoy folding and putting away because I can do it on my pretty made-up bed in front of an old episode of 'Glee' Yippee! Grinity

Laundry started this morning. But my sink's not quite shiny, I'm going to try to get that done tonight.
Routines seem to be going well.
We biked to school again this morning (my big back to school goal). So far I think we've biked it 15/20 schooldays.

Yippee Maryann!
I did well in a lot of areas, but my 'delay Internet until dressed to shoes' was a crashing fail this morning. I had a wonderful weekend and just didn't want to be responsible this AM. OH well - progress not perfection. I can jump right back in, and get back to my routines.
Love and More Love,
Grinity

I think this is a cute idea for kids.
Before he goes to bed, he puts his clothes for the next day in that drawer, along with his belt and a pair of socks and clean undies. Plus anything small he wants to remember to take somewhere the next day. Those are the only items in that drawer.
He is so excited about his Tomorrow Drawer! He has a launching pad for his backpack, but he didn't want? his undies out where anyone could see them & neither would I (lol). And I am amazed when he appears fully dressed & ready to go.
Thank you for the inspiration. The tomorrow drawer is already working well and it will make mornings a lot easier next week when school starts.
I have my kids pick out their clothes only during the school year. Maybe I should continue this thru the summer to make good habits? what do you think? Do they need a break from this in the summer?

Thanks again.
I wonder how everyone goes with bed time routines? I find this the hardest one to do. I have an afternoon routine - get the washing off the line, start tea, bath children, get children to sleep, and then study, btu trying to get a night routine where I actually get stuff ready for tomorrow, that is hard. I can't seem to figure out a way to do it that really 'works' or 'clicks' I would be interested to hear how other people's routines work - especially if you have young children who need fairly intensive parenting at that time of the day.

GeoMamma,
Could you just add to your afternoon routine? Maybe as you're getting the wash off the line, you decide what to wear tomorrow, etc.

Tommorow draw! Sounds great! I would do it all summer too - why not? GeoMamma - Whatever you decide, start slowly, and don't start adding for weeks. Maybe the only chore to start with in PM is to check your Control Journal. Maybe 2 jobs: check the control journal and do the one thing that you most dread doing each AM. You want the biggest bang for your time, yes? Do you shine your sink in the afternoon or the Evening? If you do shine in the PM, then here is your first habit! Today is Day 22: Check your control Journal every AM and PM. http://flylady.net/pages/cjmain.asp here's directions to help build that Control Journal. I've built mine so far - but I haven't checked it! Opps! I do have sticky notes that I see every AM and PM. Humm. Grinity

Today is Day 23: 'Set Your Afternoon Routine' ((GeoMamma - you are ahead of the game on this one. Who Knew?)) http://flylady.net/pages/bbd23.aspI've been wanting to Meditate when I get home from work, but I'm always so hungry, then I oversnack, then I'm too full to sit, then the dog get walked, and I remember just one more thing I wanted to do on the computer. It hasn't happend yet. So I'm going to add some sticky notes with a tentitive 'afterwork' list of babysteps. I just put a reminder in my phone to do this Monday - you see, I already have plans right after work today and tomorrow! But I did add 20 minutes of meditation first thing in the AM to my morning routine this morning, and it went well. Yippee! Love and more love, Grinity
