Flylady Day 2

[sarahmichelef]

Flylady Baby step #2 is to get up and get dressed, complete with shoes.  This includes "doing your face", etc.

For me, this isn't a big thing - I don't lounge around in my PJs all day.  So last night I laid out my clothes and made sure that they included a shirt that doesn't have anything printed on it.   TRex slept  late this morning (I went in to get her at about 10 after 7 and she was still out cold, burrowed under the covers where M had put her when she woke up at 5) so I had time to get dressed and to spritz down my hair with water without her clamoring for a spray and without her yelling about my armpits (deodorant).

I also created some order out of chaos on our bulletin board.  TRex went through a phase over the last couple of weeks where she's been obsessed with receipts... and would have a fantastic toddler meltdown if we wouldn't let her have them.  This was a problem since we keep receipts on the bulletin board in the kitchen.  So this morning I got out four envelopes: one for each credit card, one for stuff that qualifies for flex benefits, and one for ATM and bank receipts.  Stuck 'em up on the board, and it's going to make M's bill-paying much easier because he'll be able to just grab the envelope he needs rather than digging through all the papers up there .

Ok - because either I'm out of it, or I missed you talking about it, who is this Flylady of whom you speak?

i have been using the envelope thing for years (although in a sorter on my desk, not bulletin board) and swear by it.

I'm NOT getting "dressed to my shoes", no matter how often she says that it's really important... I don't feel businesslike or productive in shoes; I feel uncomfortable. And though I'm not at all a strict "leave your shoes at the door" person, I still think it's the best way to prevent dirt on the carpets and floors. She suggests getting shoes just for this purpose, but that negates the benefit of being all ready to run outside to take out the garbage.

But I did smile at my sink this morning.
