FlyLady

I have been reading some of my sisters blogs today and it got me thinking about FlyLady and the clutter in my life. I am sure most of you know who she is- She is my inspiration!!! I love her saying about, "it didn't get this way overnight, and it won't be fixed overnight either." Since we moved out of Highland, I actually have done a pretty good job at keeping the house in order. We obviously have our days of "chaos" (can't have anyone over syndrome.) but for the most part I am happy with our home. But my "hot spots" still haunt me... my desk, the laundry room, the counter in the dining room, and my boys room. I just never seem to get to them. The boys room was my goal for spring break, which ends this weekend, so I am running out of time. Maybe tomorrow. Today is laundry day, only 3 more loads to go!!!

My true clutter is in my personal/professional life. Finances, businesses, taxes, paperwork, bills, homework, this is where I truly STRUGGLE. **sigh** even thinking about it brings tension to my neck and anxiety to my chest. These are the areas I need to declutter!! But just like my "Hot Spots" it can be so easy to shut the door to these areas and pretend they aren't there- put them off for tomorrow. I know a huge weight would be lifted if I would just dig in and face the mess I have created, but denial is so much easier, (at least on the surface.)
