Motivation

This English library is at our school. Now that I am homeschooling, I am so thankful for it.

Gas station... $4.94 a gallon--- sad! That in a country where the daily wage is $5-15 a day.
The human side of the "block" apartments


The square and the park by it. Fall is here!
Today I finally got motivated AGAIN to keep a tidy house... I wish it would be second nature, but maybe it never will be. I am so distractable- I must have a system or else nothing gets done.

  1. I must take my basket and trash can into each room and go clockside around the room.
  2. Anything that doesn't belong- goes into the basket.
  3. Then clutter, junk and garbage into the trash can.
  4. Go around clockwise again and wipe and dust everything.
  5. Finish the room with a vaccum.
  6. Put away stuff in basket
  7. Move to the next room

If I don't do this, I will end up cleaning ALL DAY and NEVER EVER see a cleaner house. Why? Because I do a small project in each room and never finish a whole area. Sad to be me! :( I even have to add "clockwise" to my routine. From where I am standing and around clockwise, so that I can't even distract myself deciding where to start. Is this normal?

I probably have ADD... oh well. I'm used to it now! I have a clean house... yay for me. I subscribed to a organizational blog- www.organizingyourway.net

Helps keep me focused on cleaning up when I check email each morning! ;)

Yes, I think it it normal...I remember reading books on how to clean my room when I was in elementary school! (Mom had some really good resource books for kids) ;o)
