Schools back in full swing! It's time for me to get back into regular routines again.


What are your routines to keep your life afloat? Is it flylady, doing one main thing a day, set schedule or you're just a wonder woman and keep everything perfect because you are perfect.

I wish I were perfect wonder woman! I kind of do fly lady, but nothing is ever perfect in my home. I just do the best I can, but when the kids are in school and I'm still not back to work, it's pretty smooth sailing! as long as I get everything I need to accomplish done before school is out for the day. then it's chaos!!!

I still haven't got back into my routine! Still too much going on...usually I just clean on my days off, but that's not happening these days!

I keep everything perfect because I AM perfect! Ha!

You seen my pile of laundry right?

amy said...

But the rest of your house WAS perfect ha/ha

Becky A said...

I agree, I think Kim and Jeni both have perfect houses all the time!

Jeni said...

puh-leeze! :)
Your nice Becky, but, go check it out today! I think I need to quit my job so that I can get some laundry done.

OH FLY lady...will somebody do the schedule for me? Ugh, my upstairs is out of control and my downstairs is false advertising because it is super clean. Hmmmm, I wonder why!
Amy, I did find an awesomw board at of course Target that has Mon-Sun and is long and is dry erase. Now I at least can keep track of stuff and it sits on my counter.
It is my new BFF. I worship that board.
Hey how was Jess' Baptism?

Oh and for the RECORD...PUL- LEEZE SCHMEEZE...JENI POLL"S house is never messy...her "messy" is 1 load of unfolded laundry on her bed.....MY messy house is
12 loads of dirty laundry PLUS 20 other things! So, nice try Jeni...:) Love ya!

hee hee hee.ang..too funny. I only WISH you guys could have seen my bedroom growing up...Jason almost didn't marry me because it was so dirty...disgustingly dirty..hey..people can change.

Okay, I have been lurking and waiting for great ideas. I do have the same board (I think) as Angie from Target, and I also worship the board. I have found the key to my success (if you can call it that) is delegation and picking my battles. I certainly put away my kids laundry better than they do, but... I definitely make beds better (except for Chloe - she does a great job), but at least the kids learn and I don't have quite so much to do. I also have a basket for each family member and a folder that sits in it. Each person is responsible for their own. I tried FLY LADY, but had difficulties with it. OOPS, this is a giant comment, sorry, maybe I should just post on my own blog.

Talk away Ginger - it's just fine to leave a huge comment!

I USE my calendar - if it's not on the calendar it doesn't exist. (Michael hates when I remind him of that - he forgets to tell me stuff so it doesn't get put on the calendar)

I'll come show you the motivated mom schedule Ang - it's like flylady but calmer.

I need someone to make me a chores list for my kids that work, cause I can't.
Ding ding ding
We have a winner for the cleanest, most perfect house and her name is
JENI POLL. Yes you're all right. It's like a Parade of Homes showcase 24/7.
I just heard of a great sticker saying at my sisters friends house. But this doesn't mean you Jeni. I just really like the saying because it makes me feel better about myself ha ha...
"Boring people have clean houses."
that is going to be my motto.

Jeni said...

ANGELA!!!! you make me laugh. I feel so honored that I have one this award from you! My family will NOT believe it! In fact, they will probably contest this award & pull out some dirty laundry on me. (no pun intended) :)
