Okay, I admit it…
I have officially scheduled more things in my life than I care to. I must kick some things out the door…starting with….
1) The homeschool Blog- I am finding that I barely have time to get all the homeschool stuff together, let alone keep it around and take pictures of it so I can blog about it. Sorry folks, it is just not happening.
2) Working late at night more than twice a week- Okay, for those of you who didn’t know this, I am tutoring online about 10 hours each week. These times typically fall in the evening. The problem is that I was online almost every night late because I was doing 13 hours each week. I was waiting until late because it gets a little busier, and then staying up till 1:00am to tutor. I like tutoring, so actually doing it isn’t the problem…however, getting up at 7:00am was the problem. Unfortunately Big Brother doesn’t sleep in like Baby Boy does (he makes it until 8:00am).
3) Flylady–I still am cleaning up the house EVERY evening (maybe let it go once a week–but pick up in the morning). The boys and I are cleaning rooms every evening before bedtime (thanks Chuck E Cheese for the cleaning room chart) and I do dishes every evening. Also, I still do a load of clothes almost everyday. I am also dusting, vacumming, doing both bathrooms and mopping the floors every week. So, essentially, I have moved into my own little “Flylady” method where I am doing all this and although I might need 5-10 minutes to pick up toys, just about anyone could come by at anytime and it would be clean enough that I wouldn’t be embarrassed. Lesson learned: How to clean as I go–and not let things get so built up that the last thing I want to do is clean. Thanks Flylady–Even if I am not following your program to a T, know that I have learned something from you.

My wife had some “fly lady” list floating around the house, but we have made our own version. We do try to hit one room “hard” each day.
