So - What have I accomplished?
I have a rock solid AM routine - and I'm really staying off the Internet until it's completed, which was SSO hard in the begining and now seems easy- including 20 minutes of meditation and 3 Yoga Sun Salutations.
I have a 'baby' afterwork routine - 20 minutes of meditation before Internet.
Hotspots are still an issue at times, but lots of decluttering has given me more places to put things until I 'get' to them.
I did a few 'anti-procrastination' tasks and set up some Pamper Missions.
DH and I are settling into a Wednesday is Date Night expectation. If one of us forgets, we remind each other.
I've gotten through my first 6 weeks with DS14 at Boarding School!!! I'm not mopey and the house isn't a mess!
Yippee!
I'd love to hear if anyone else is proud of anything FLY!
Love and More Love,
Grinity

I made some more progress with my paper clutter.(Pat Pat on the back)I realized I still don't know what to do with some stuff but I'll get back to it. It is better. I just need to keep going on the right path.

I got back into some habits that I had fallen out of. In particular, getting ready first thing in the morning. I hadn't realised how much of a difference it makes if I turn the computer on first!
I also started decluttering again. I find that the hardest thing to do, so that is an achievement.
Congratulations to all of us!

What I love about Flylady is that even if done a tiny bit, the effect is so nice!

Success! I moved the "home office" back into the home office today (and off the dining room table)! In fact, I am sitting in the real home office typing this. And got another hour of cleanup done in my garage today. A coworker came over and took my unused-for-several-years windsurfer off my hands, and several boxes of boat equipment related to an estate I am involved with. Once the clutter was gone, I could actually clean those parts of the garage. Yay!

Oh Wow INTParent! Well done. That is so exciting.
Go GeoMamma. Love that you are tackling the dungeon.
We have a dishwasher for the last 15 years that sort of works and sort of doesn't. I won't let us choose the cycle -instead randomly chooses for itself, sometimes the dishes come out dirtier than they went in, but not always, and wets the floor about three times a year. But it won't ever just plain stop working! Last Friday DH asked if I thought that now was the time to buy a new one, and Sunday we did. Wednesday it will be delivered. DH never really believed that it wasn't somehow all my fault that I was somehow using the machine incorrectly, so I not only was frustrated with the machine, but I resent it too.
DH: "Are you planning to read the Manual for this one?" Took me 24 hours to get that DH still thinks it's all my fault somehow. I thought at the time it was just an innocent question. Grrrrrrrr.
3 strong willed perfectionistic people in one house is a lot to live with. Even 2. Perhaps this new machine will prove me competent to operate a dishwasher. Or maybe not....time will tell.
Love and More Love,
Grinity

Hmm, my H would have found himself on dishwasher duty in a hurry, Grinity! I know it sounds crazy - but for many of those years I was doing wage work 'only' 20 hours a week while DH was doing 60 hours. And the dishwasher knew how to work just well enough that it would dissapear from my consiousness for months at a time. It isn't exactly that I wanted a new dishwasher all that time just a new DH- more that I kept hoping the dishwasher would stop working entirely!

I know what you mean - my washing machine falls into that category. The dungeon is proving more difficult than I had imagined. Any tips for decluttering and organizing when a) It's craft supplies and you are a home educating ex-teacher b) Half the stuff is in scattered in several different places c) Every time your toddler goes in there he wants to eat the cat food  ??
