Back on a Schedule

Throughout my life I have went through periods of chaos and periods of order. As I reflect, I am a much happier person when I am on a schedule.

Four years ago I found FlyLady.net.

My mom is an amazing homemaker and housekeeper. She also admits that she does not enjoy teaching. As I was growing up, rather than teach me how to clean, she did it. I went into the world not knowing where to start when I wanted to have a clean and orderly house. Some people must be born knowing how to do this, I was not.

I went through years of frustration trying to live up to my image of my mom. House sparkling, meals done and on the set table. Groceries always there. I worked full time, sometimes two jobs, sometimes college. I had two young sons at one time and later a young daughter to take care of a long with working. I learned to accept what I could do and not compare every little thing to my mom.

FlyLady.net provides a cleaning calendar that makes life manageable. I am able to systematically clean my entire house every month and still have Saturdays and Sundays for God and family.

My sink is shined! I am ready for tomorrow with clothes laid out and everything in my bag, ready to go out the door. I pray that God blesses the ladies behind FlyLady. I know my life is better for having found them.
