Flylady Days 5 and 6

For day 5, we are instructed as follows:

Are you hearing any of those nagging negative voices popping into your head? I want you to take a piece of paper and write down what you hear then I want you to turn those ugly words around and say something nice to yourself to negate the ugly words that they said.

Since I do this already, I'm skipping ahead to Day 6, in which we learn about Hot Spots.  We are to identify a Hot Spot and spend 2 minutes putting it out.  We have oodles of Hot Spots in our house, unfortunately.  I think I'm going to tackle the mail stand (which lives in the dining room, where it's out of reach of grabby fingers) for 2 minutes while TRex is still napping (which means soon).  Having the mail there is already an improvement - it used to be on the kitchen table, which meant that Little Miss Monkey could climb up and get whatever she wanted from it.

Off I go!

Daniel Radcliffe NAKED on my In-tar-web!!!

OK, not really. But here's the poster for the production of Equus that he's in (in which he will, in fact, be appearing on stage deshabilé).  That's some yummy Photoshop right there.  (via Electrolicious)

FlyLady Reflections

I'm still going to do my big rant about the FlyLady system and the gendered division of labor, but not yet.

Or maybe I will, just a little bit.

OK, rant over.  Today I cleaned up two major hotspots: the mail stand and the pile on the counter by the fridge.  Now we have to keep them from becoming hotspots again.  And after dinner, we did a really good cleaning of the kitchen counters (the  microwave was DISGUSTING), and agreed on a list of things that will be done to the kitchen as part of the after-dinner routine every evening.
