That’s pretty much how I live my life.  There are so many unfinished projects around my house.  Some days are better than others.  Lloyd will know that I’ve had a chaotic day when he comes home and there are clothes folded on the couch, a half-empty diswasher and the TV is still on in the bedroom even though I haven’t been in there all day.  I am so easily distracted.  I’ll be in the middle of something and suddenly….something shiny…and I abandon what I’m doing for something else. 

So, I have decided that I need to get control of my house.  By this, I mean that I don’t want to have to freak out cleaning every time somebody is coming over to visit.  I also don’t want to be frantically running around the house at 5 o’clock trying to make it look like I’ve done something today.  This is a joke because it’s usually the days that I am more busy that my house is more disasterous, so I don’t know what’s going on there.  I know that daily maintenance will make it easier – I tend to try to tackle it all at one time and then I get overwhelmed and just give up. 

So today…I will shine my sink.  Now, this isn’t just any shine…it’s a FlyLady shine.   This is not sink shining for sissies…it’s a 12 step process, but once you do it, FlyLady promises you’ll never have to do it again.  I’ll keep you posted.

 UPDATE:

Now, there’s something shiny!  I took a “before” picture too, but it’s just too embarrassing.

 What’s more embarrassing is that I’m taking before/after pictures of my sink.
