I'm coming along. I'm feeling a bit stressed because we've had SO many school & sport activities and other odd things so my routine schedule is a bit off kilter. And I'm log-jammed on a few house projects. Need a few free days to bust through it all. Hoping to get those this coming week. Practicing my deep breathing. I'm going to keep my ongoing list of things I've missed and think that will help keep me on track for Christmas.
It really helps me to check in on this board and get my list sorted out.
Had a little lightbulb moment this week in that I'm no longer going to try to do FlyLady AND the Houseworks Cleaning Zone at the same time. Kinda defeats the point of FlyLady and is why I do Houseworks instead of Grand Plan in the first place. Too much going on this year in terms of house construction to make that work. Instead I'm going to stick to my FlyLady schedule and use the Houseworks
Cleaning Area of the week to instead simply BRAINSTORM & TROUBLESHOOT so that I'm ready to tackle it when that area comes around physically each month on my FlyLady schedule. I think that will work better for me. But the Houseworks Holiday path is critical to my sanity. That part stays as is.
To Do this Week:
• Guest Room -- Figure out a new dresser. Ponder & Shop for artwork/decor items.
• FlyLady Zone of Week -- Great Room (in good shape), Garden shrubs purchased (which is one of my big projects so perfect timing for that one!)
• FlyLady work-ahead for next week -- Entries (since I'll be out of town), Take out Autumn decor.
Need to Catch Up
•Tackle huge inventory of unfinished house projects -- Ongoing til Thanksgiving.
•Christmas cards -- Take photo and order cards.
•Work on Kodak Photo Books so can order during Oct discount. (Groan!)
•Get a lock for gift closet. (Might just be "loss of presents if opened") ;-)
•Get moving on buying Stuffers.
