Smart Habit Saturday ~Week 4

Week #4 update~

Well, plugging along still, but didn't do as well as last week. Tony was out of town, and I am feeling hormonal, so I just wasn't as on track as I had hoped! It was about suvival and sanity...

I worry if I don't do it everyday, how am I going to establish the routines? I guess I am just going to focus on doing what I can for now and hope I can do better next week!

JUNE HABIT~Wash and Fold 2 Loads of Laundry a Day!

When we have practiced good actions awhile, they become easy; when they are easy, we take pleasure in them; when they please us, we do them frequently; and then, by frequency of act, they grow into a habit. John Tillotson

Week 3~ Progress at last!

Well this week has been great. Not only did I do 2 loads of laundry a day but on a few ambitious days I actually did 4! It seems once I got going, it was easier to just continue!
Sherry was asking me why I was doing Smart Habit Saturday instead of flylady, and I thought I'd mention it here too. I love, love flylady. It is a site that helps you get organized.The women on flylady are just as domestically challenged as I am!I do use flylady quite a bit, but lately I have been kind of down, and needed a kick in the butt to get going again.Flylady has alot of the same concepts as SHS. I only do SHS because it holds my feet to the fire. Ya know? There is nothing like public humiliation to shame me into action! Plus it's working...Yeaah.
Oh, and good news~I can actually see the floor of my laundry room now. Oh yeah~ progress is SWEET!

June Habit-wash and fold 2 loads of laundry a day

Ok, from feedback that I've heard from a few,shall we say perfectionists, it is horrifying to you that my habit for the month is to only wash and fold two loads of laundry a day.Unfortunately I am not a domestic diva, and I never will be. However I do love a clean house just like the rest of us, so I am working slowly here, and am hoping that each habit will help me to establish daily routines and help me achieve more peace in my life. Isn't that what we are all after my friends?

Anywhoo, I am embarrassed to admit after all of that -I did no laundry on Monday, and no laundry yesterday. I was gone most of the day, and it was just too crazy! Yikes. However, some laundry is still better than no laundry done,and I shall continue on this journey....Baby steps...

Smart Habit Saturday~My Dirty Little Secret

I am not sure if any of you know this about me, but one of my all time favorite things is to have a clean, I mean really CLEAN house. I love seeing my bed made, the kitchen counters cleared, floors vacuumed, the works. It's nirvana for me.Here's the kicker though...I downright suck at keeping my house clean. Yes it's true I am totally and completely domestically challenged.Now I know some of you Martha Stewart types are snickering about now, but stop it dang it, just stop it!I have made a pact with myself the time to change is now. I am going to find and embrace my domestic goddess inside.So, I found this blog and I loved it. Smart Habit Saturday is exactly what I need to find my own nirvana daily, not a couple times a year.If someone were to ask me if I could have any gift, anything at all, I would choose to have a maid for year. Seriously. However, that is probably not going to happen in this lifetime, so I am going to make the changes myself. One habit at a time. So check back weekly, help me stay on track, and if you are domestically challenged also, jump on the Smart Habit bandwagon with me!

So Here goes.. Baby steps ladies, baby steps
