I'm getting pretty good at this!

Not completely killing it yet, but I kept my sink shining all day long! (well, after I got up at least)
We were going to go to church this morning, but Munchkin didn't sleep well last night, so I put Husband in charge of the alarms and making sure we got up in time to shower and get ready. Well, that didn't end up turning out to well. I didn't get his attention before I told him evidently, so we ended up waking up an hour late and not making it today. :-(
Had a pretty good day, Husband took the baby and let me nap for a bit. Munchkin got introduced to peaches, she's neutral on the subject so far.
I got most of day 8 I'm actually really bad at getting my own clothes out for the day, but I always have Husband's uniform and work stuffs set out and ready to go before I go to bed so he doesn't have to worry about anything (and it helps him get a couple extra minutes of sleep in the mornings)
All in all, I'm feeling positive, and looking forward to the de-cluttering tomorrow. Gonna tackle the 'junk' drawer in the living room.

Feeling pretty good today!

I got up, got ready, got the baby ready and we were off! We made it to the post office to pick up our held mail and to take the hold off. See, it's a funny story; when we moved and I went to get our new mailbox keys the post office told me that the previous tenants had not turned in their keys, so therefore I had to pay for a new lock/key set. So not fair if you as me, having to pay for someone else's stupidity. But anyway, I paid for the outrageous new lock, and was told to call before I went to get my keys (to make sure they were actually finished before I drove out to get them) So I called Friday and was told to pick them up, and did so. But I forgot to pick up the mail/remove the hold while I was out, and by the time I was done with the rest of my day it was to late. So I had to go back today, and I have a very bad track record about getting to the post office in time on Saturdays. But in awesome news: Monday we'll get our first mail at our new place :)
And in even better news: The baby slept for almost 8 hours last night! I was so excited, like beyond excited. I actually got about 7 hours of sleep myself. And she even took a nap today while Ber and I were hanging out.
The original plan for today was Ber was going to take Munchkin and leave me here alone, well that didn't happen, because Ber mentioned she was going to Hobby Lobby, and after asking Husband about it, I went with because I wanted to do this :

This is the actual complete project. (you can see me taking the picture and Bur waving in the background...she's kinda crazy like that) So instead of getting as much work done as I was hoping, I got part  of it done and had a wonderful afternoon with Ber and Munchkin.

Although I did get quite a bit organized this morning. Using this awesome app in my phone I have all the important reminders for this month in there. And that just makes me feel good, like I really accomplished something and have my month in order, which just makes life seem easier and more productive

day 7 is completed and my sink is shiny tonight! I'm feeling pretty good about that :) Now just to tackle day 8 and keep going and continue feeling positive about life and the Flying process.

I hate when your face starts pealing after having a minor sunburn. It's nice that washing my face doesn't feel like rubbing sandpaper on my cheeks, but still. I'm just happy I don't normally wear make-up, because there would be no way I could do that natural 'no I'm not wearing make-up' look today. (and that's what I prefer to try to do. Although it is kinda fun to do the crazy exotic make-up every once in a while, I just don't really go out anywhere that it would be appropriate for much anymore.

Well, it seems like I had quite a bit to say today, anywho, I'm off to get a few rows of crochet finished and then off to bed.

Truthfully

I'm not doing so awesome with keeping my sink clean. Mostly because I'm afraid if I start banging around the pots and pans as I'm cleaning, or even just rinsing dishes and putting them away I'll wake up Munchkin, and since it has been so hard to put her to sleep lately, I really don't want to wake her up. I did do my day six pretty good. Worked on my table hot spot, and my kitchen counters.
Ber is going to come hang out with me a bit tomorrow while our husbands are both gone at work and take Munchkin with her to run some errands. (at least that's the current plan) It's a nice way for her to spend time with her 'favorite' niece and also a way to give me a little time away from the baby, which I really appreciate. Plus this way Ber can see a little bit how it is to run errands with a little baby in tow, although Munchkin's normally pretty good at the store. Talked with Husband about the game plan for my 'alone' time, and have it all set out for what will be getting done.
* get the last couple boxes taken care of
* clean / finish organizing the bathroom
* straighten up Munchkin's room / organize all the cloth diaper stuffs
* get laundry caught up

(Husband actually only told me to get the first two done, I added the last two)

But the baby is asleep, the Husband is asleep, his clothes and work stuffs are all set up and ready for him tomorrow when he gets up bright and early. And now that all of those things are taken care of I'm going to watch hulu and work on some crafty things!

I've got this.....I think

Well I've got most of day five complete. The one thing I'm not doing that they suggest is post-it notes. a) because i don't have any post-it notes b) because I'm just using my control journal - if I use that then I can mark it off, and marking a chore off makes me feel like I've actually accomplished something. I keep up on the FlyLady news by getting the daily emails, instead of using the big tent website. My sink is not quite shiny tonight, but considering how behind I was I'm proud of what I've gotten done.
But since Munchkin has decided she doesn't want to go to bed yet, I may be able to get it all done and shiny tonight before I go to bed.

Fireworks and Fires

Happy Independence Day! 

We had quite a bit of fun going out to a friend's house and shooting off fireworks. Although the night was not without excitement. Husband got hit in the chest and leg by a firework (one of the big ones tipped over) and at the same time our friend's house and the neighbor's front bushes. It was quite the night, lucky that time (and the next time a firework tipped over) Munchkin and I were inside. 

Husband is feeling better, but still has some deep muscle pain from being hit in the chest that flares up a couple times a day. Although he says the burn on his leg has been bothering him more (probably because it hides under his sock and gets irritated.) 

But all in all, it was a wonderful day with friends. 

Continuation

To be completely honest, I kind of failed day 3, but I'm running on about 14 hours of sleep for the past 72 hours. I did get dressed for most of the morning, but then after taking the dog out Munchkin was acting tired, so I put my pj pants back on and we took a nap on the couch, and I think that hour and a half was the most she slept all day. Right now, my sink is not cleaned, and there are dinner dishes in it, but at the moment, Munchkin is finally asleep. And I'm so proud of her, because after about 10 minutes of sleeping in her crib, she started crying. And instead of rushing to comfort her I let her cry for about 7 minutes, and she fell back asleep!!! So exciting, she actually has never done that before.
So all in all, Flying today has been a little bit of a failure, but the baby is asleep, so now I'm going to take a shower and crawl into my nice, soft, warm, comfortable bed.

Once and again

Well, at this point day 2 is halfway done. I'm up, (I think I look quite zombie-like) I am dressed, my hair has been brushed (yeah, that's odd to comment, but when i get busy I don't even worry about brushing my hair, which happens quite often actually) it's in a nice french braid (okay, I have to note here...braid is such an odd spelling, I had to look it up to make sure I wasn't spelling it wrong) I am actually wearing make-up and socks. I'm supposed to dress to shoes, but we don't wear shoes in the house, so after talking to Husband, he said dressing to socks would be acceptable.
I'm thinking of crocheting up a pair of house slippers if I find a pattern I like that has the simulated soles. The problem with that is so many slipper patterns have a seam along the bottom, instead of a flat sole, and I don't like the way the non-sole slippers feel, it's just not right for me.

In unrelated crafty news, I've started crocheting up my first re-usable grocery bag made from grocery bags. So far it's not going bad, but crocheting with plastic bag yarn is quite different than anything I've ever worked with before, not horrible, but just different. Haven't really been able to get much done on it, but that's kind of expected at this point.

EDIT:
Well, so far it looks like another sleepless night. But at this point Munchkin is happily playing in her swing, I've got a load of laundry in the dryer and I'm about to finish the dishes and shine my sink.
I'm thinking of making a set of embroidered tea towels, one for each day of the week. I even have a cute lace crochet pattern to use for edging.

Below is the first five rows of the bag so far.
