SICK

So I have been sick for the past week... and something amazing happened! I looked around yesterday thinking "UGH I am not FLYing at all, this place looks horrrible!" What looked so horrible to me, was crayons and puzzle pieces on the floor, a few dishes in the sink and various odds and ends that have not been cleared off of my table or console, and my floors weren't swept. But I didn't even have tissues everywhere. I just threw them away without thinking about it. It took me 8 mins to clean the house up. EIGHT.

Last month I was sick for a week also (what can I say, stress causes colds for me) and the house got SO bad, I had no idea where to begin cleaning it. I let it be that way for another week because it was so overwhelming. There were no clean clothes or dishes and I felt like a slob all day. That is when my friend told me about Flylady. Cut to one month later, and my house is generally clean all the time. Its not prefect. Its not going to me. I don't strive for it to be perfect (except maybe when my mom comes to visit) but it makes me happy to wake up to tidiness.
So... no I didn't do my flychallenges or daily 15 mins for a week, but since my habits had already started to take shape, I was cleaning up without realizing it so the house never got to the point where it usually gets when Im sick. So TADA!
