Control of My Life

September 28, 2011 by Lauralynn Elliott

Susan Bischoff wrote a very inspiring blog post today about a control journal. This concept is on this website FlyLady. Susan really made me think about what a slacker I’ve been in my eating habits, exercise, and house cleaning. And it has to stop. So I really have to thank Susan for her post. But I really don’t think I should thank her for causing me to spend $71 on the FlyLady website! LOL I went to the site after reading Susan’s blog and found some cool cleaning tools that I just had to have! I got the Rubba Package, plus a feather duster and a set of microfiber cleaning clothes. I had to check out in a hurry before I bought anything else!

FlyLady is pretty awesome. I followed her methods several years ago, and I did keep the house cleaner. That was before school papers, Boy Scouts, and the Muse took over my house. Now… I should start over, but I can’t muster the energy… 🙂

My big goal with this whole writing thing? Someday, I want to earn enough to pay for a housekeeper. If that’s all I ever earn, I’ll actually be pretty happy about that.

  I would just like to earn enough that I didn’t have to work full time. Then I could clean the house better myself. My husband does most of the housework right now and I feel really guilty. He works hard at work and shouldn’t have to do so much. He’s much better at it than I am.

Oops! See, that’s kind of easy for me as I’m rarely moved to buy cleaning tools. Although I did suggest those hot-spot clings to someone recently–I don’t even remember who it was.

  I love those rubber tools because they’re easy to clean and don’t get as nasty as other tools. And I can’t wait to get that awesome duster. It’s so much easier to dust with something like that than a cloth. 🙂

Sorry…Pledge fan here! Ha! Love that lemony smell….

I’m a clean freak…but….I don’t use too many fancy products. (I will avoid that website or I’d be tempted to drop some cash, too 🙂 Hope you ‘handle your business’ and feel great about it! ~ Nadja

  Thanks, Nadja! I like things to be clean…I just want someone else to do it! Hahahahahaha.
