>I cleaned the sink….

Anywho… I don’t know if you WILL care, but it’s sort of a big step for me. Now I’m not saying that this is the first time I’ve ever cleaned the sink, but it is certainly the first time I’ve taken a picture of it…! 😉
I guess there comes a time, as much as I hate to admit it, and hate even more actually doing it, when a mamma just has to get on top of the things she’s been letting slide, not only to set a good example to any young Punk that may be hanging around, but to also feel in control of the housework for a change, instead of it looming large eternally like an evil nemesis, and controlling her instead.
When I say it gets out of control… I wish I were over-exaggerating. We’re talking dishes that don’t get done until I am forced to wash them, usually before I can make dinner, or, even more likely, I look at the dirty dishes around 20 past 5 & think “What can I make for dinner that requires none of these dishes?!”.
Why can’t I be organised? Or, more precisely, why can’t I learn to be organised? Why can’t I just make the necessary cleaning a regular part of my routine, as opposed to a never-ending chore…?
(Kitchen pretty – something to distract me while I do the dishes… when I do the dishes…)

>Gotta love the Fly Lady! I have to restart with her now that the kids are back to school so I can get this house decluttered. So much to do it's overwhelming!

>Ah, but now you have a dilemma. You couldn't possibly want ot dirty that darn clean sink with dirty dishes, would you? Maybe you guys just need to stop eating. That'll stop you accummulating those horrible nasty dishes- and give you more time to admire your sparkly sink…But seriously, I hate cleaning too! You go girl!

>Oohhh – nice shiny sink :)I think I ought to join the Flydlady thing too. Only my kitchen sink is actually a laundry tub. I wonder if she has special tips for people who live in sheds lol.

>this makes me laugh as I cleaned the toilet today and for a while I was thinking about how it was worthy of a photo!The thing I hate about cleaning (besides the obvious) is how it lasts about a nanosecond at our place and then quickly falls back to 'normal' (i.e.mess everywhere)thanks for the laugh
