Today I slept in and didn't do very much but I did:
get all of one childs laundry done so that's an accomplishment in itself...
working on the second childs laundry and hope to have most of it done tonight...
oldest daughter unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher
I washed the pots
cleaned the counters, table, & stove
swept the kitchen....
doesn't sound like a whole lot but I did get some stuff done so maybe just maybe I can turn this disaster around and get a clean house again
When I look at what little bit I actually did do I feel like I haven't done anything because there is so much more that needs to be done but as Nony puts it on http://www.aslobcomesclean.com looking at things as a whole will always discourage us slobs... she takes one small step each day and slowly but surely she declutters and organizes her home... she changes her habits and makes a concentrated effort to change herself to change her house.... I am so glad I found her site... it's making me feel so much better about myself because I am not alone in my slobishness and if she can change then I have faith that I can change... With God's love all things are possible...He has faith in me and so I will have faith in myself that I can do this...slowly but surely I will get my life under control....

Daily checklist
I am borrowing an idea from http://www.aslobcomesclean.com and posting a daily checklist of things I need to do each day and things that I can check off my list...
Today I:
started supper at 9 in the crockpot
(chicken breasts cut up, sausage cut up, brown gravy, can of tomato sauce, rotel, seasonings, and onions/bell pepper/celery)
as well as the rice needed for it
supper was going strong all day and was ready for supper at 7 tonight!!
Homeschooled the three big girls which was mostly tests today.. they all three did good jobs though we did have a setback or two but that's to be expected...
wiped down the bathroom this morning
Redo list: (Saturday)
After making this list and seeing that I didn't do very much and that I could have and should have done more... I went and put a load of laundry washing and then put it in the dryer to be folded later and put a second load washing... so I did do a little more...I am working on it.. and I will get better
and that's it for me today...seems like I didn't do anything but to be honest I really could have done more and even thought a couple times to go do something but well I am not the best at doing what I should...hence the following of http://www.aslobcomesclean.com . she is teaching me to not lie to myself about my faults.. I know I could have done more but didn't feel like getting up and doing them... I know I need to break that habit and so I am going to do as she has done and do a post about what I plan to do and actually doing them each day....
Y'all pray for me that I can follow through with this because God knows I have started a hundred times with a "new" cleaning routine and it never lasts more than a few weeks... I AM going to change that... I WILL get into the habit of cleaning as I go instead of waiting for the disaster to overtake my house and life...
About a month ago we started the girls on a new "help out" schedule and they are doing good when I remind them but alas I am bad about remembering that things are supposed to be done... We are all going to change that starting with ME!! As of today I am no longer going to allow mess to rule my life....
