still working toward 36....

I am starting FLYlady....that's my next thing. Not sure what number it is, I forgot to check before I started.

FLYlady is this....program(?)....for lack of a better word, for cleaning your house. Getting it clean and keeping it clean. Basically it gives you steps to take to help you form good habits so that you can more easily keep your house clean.

Sounds kind of silly I guess, seeing as how I am a stay at home mom, most people expect that I should be able to keep the house pretty dang clean, but the problem really is that I never learned how to do that. My parents never taught me how to clean or how to keep my room clean or anything like that. I never learned those habits, and then to make matters worse I got pregnant at 17 and was thrown into parenting before I ever got the hang of managing a house. So all of a sudden I had a house, a child and a relationship to keep up and....well the house got put n the bottom of the list.

I never recovered from that. So that's what I am trying to do now.

The first step was to shine my sink. I'm not sure why, but its what it said to do, so I did it. And while I am not sure how it is really beneficial toward my entire house, I'll admit having a shiny sink is nice :)

I don't know what tomorrow's challenge will be, I resisted the urge to look ahead, so I will find out tomorrow, but hopefully this will be a positive step for my family :)
