I'm a Flybaby Flunkie

Years ago, my sister in law introduced me to the flylady. This lil' southern lady's site is all about helping us creative folks to get your life organized. So I read all this stuff about getting your house organized and clean, and I remember reading some essay saying- do this, then that, clean, clean, clean! Now take a minute to love on your babies, now back to work, doing this and that, - like some kind of white tornado. I remember thinking, -What is this lady raising, Chia Pets? My kids don't just sit there waiting for me to give them a love 1 minute out of 30. They are busy destroying in my wake. I cannot divert my attention from them long enough to accomplish anything that takes more that 5 minutes or so to complete.
All that said, there were some good ideas on the site. So I tried to sign up for e-mails that get you doing things on her system, but I never got them. I didn't realize I created a yahoo account and now somewhere out there is a mailbox with about 9 years or so of junk in it.
This last year I went back to visit the flylady and figured out what I was doing so now I get e-mails. I'm trying to put more of this stuff into practice. (Except of course the junk about wearing shoes. Sorry, comfort comes first!) I kind of adjust it to my needs. She seems to be raising more than Chia Pets now because it's all about baby steps and 15 minute increments of tasks. I started out slow. I tried to just follow the message. GO TO BED. Well, I get to bed by midnight more often now than I used to. I got sick of the failure though so I'm working on honing my evening and morning routine. I've got a long way to go. I am still a SHE (sidetracked home executive): I am a flybaby flunkie. But the important thing is I just keep plugging along. FLY stands for Finally Loving Yourself. I think I already love myself, I just happen to love myself in all my disorganized, scatterbrained glory. I keep working on this program because I could live with a little less chaos and frustration in my life. Wanna join me?
