FlyLady Update and other stuff

Wow! FlyLady has been such a blessing to me! I am starting small but very conventiently the zone this week is the bedroom! My bedroom is a mess and I am so glad to be working on it this week! Tim is also gone right now (training for his new Honda job) and although that is very hard, it makes it easier to get things done when I don't have to worry about hanging out with him and making dinner and him creating more of a mess. Don't get me wrong, I love my fiance and spending time with him but he gets home at 4:30 and then we do dinner and sit on the couch and watch tv. It is so hard to be productive while he's home. He'll be gone for 6 weeks minus 3 weekends so I can get a lot done! It's also nice because we're 2 months away from the wedding and there is soooooo much to do! I have been so busy this week that I have not had a lot of time to think about Tim not being here.

Back to FlyLady! I love the routines! I have never been a routine person but it really helps for someone to tell me what to do and which part of the house to work on. Especially since the whole house needs worked on. It was overwhelming because I never knew where to start. Well I'm only a couple of weeks in so I will keep updating you on my progress!

I'm Flying!

Well ladies, I am officially fed up with my house! I am home all day and just can't get it together! I am not an organized or clean person by any means but it is my job to keep up the home now so I have to learn. I decided to join FlyLadies.

So I will let you know how it goes. Anything is better than what I have going on right now. My first task is to shine my sink. Well first I have to get rid of all those dang dishes! I'll keep y'all updated!

Great Week So Far!

Me and Tim are having the best week so far! As many of you know, we are down to only one car right now. Since I'm working from home it is doable but still hard. It's really hard on Tim when I have the car because he has never been without a car since he turned 16! So we were talking to our pastor after church on Sunday and saying how we were looking for a car and it turned into our pastor just bought his wife a new car and they were selling their minivan! We got a great minivan for $1500!!!! We are sooooo excited! We really needed a minivan and we wanted to not have another car payment! I am so excited! Perfect timing!

Best week item #2: We need a lawnmower! Our yard looks like a forest right now! We have one but it is not working. Tim has tried everything! Then it'll work for 5 minutes and stop. We have an acre of land so 5 minutes definitely doesn't cut it. We just don't have the money to go out and buy a riding lawnmower. Well, Tim told me the other day that we are going to get his grandpa's old lawnmower! Yes! Life is great right now!

Now if only people would start booking Mary Kay parties....life would be perfect! Hey, we're getting there! But seriously, we are just so blessed and lucky to have the resources that we have. Keeping it down to one car payment will make it so much easier for me to keep working from home and not have to get a full-time job outside of the house. We are learning that we just need to be patient and good things will come!
