"SMALL" club LOL Marcia, I really like that :) So now, other than FLYBabies, I guess us DG-ers can be considered the SMALL's. And it fits all of us, even the ones using a system other than FlyLady's :)

I got my new FL calendar last week. I bought last years calendar from her also. At first I thought 20 bucks for a stupid calendar?? She has to be outta her mind. Then I tried to write all of Tori's neurosurgeon visits, and therapy appts into a little bank calendar, and then a bigger one I bought at the mall. No luck. I broke down and ordered the one off the site, and never regretted it for a minute. Huge squares, and everyone in the house used it. The day my new one came, I sat down with it and the old one, and 15 minutes at a time, put in b-days, dr appts, dentist, et cetera. Then I went through and did my zone stickers (I think I have a total of 3 or 4 sticker sets now) then I went to the cupboard, and got out our GALLON sized Zip Lock Bag full of stickers that I bought for homeschooling, and tori got wehen she was in the hospital. She wouldnt complain about needles if she got a sticker after LOL That kid had a room full of stickers when we finally came home. ..... Anyway, I got those stickers out and found one I liked, and stuck it in the notes section, and next to it wrote, shined my sink. So every night I shine my sink, I get a smiley face. Then I found some cute flower stickers, and put one in the notes section, and next to it, I wrote, watered flowers. So I get a flower sticker everytime I water all my outdoor plants. Makes me realize they aren't geting enough water, so I'm getting better. I'm gonna pick another sticker today and use it for "Blessing my Heart" (I refuse to use the "E" word LOL) and stickers for making the bed, dressed to the shoes (those 2 are my hardest habits to form :( ) I love my sweats so much and my big baggie t shirts. The worst part is, tax time this year, I bought a bunch of new clothes. Jeans and shirts, shoes (birkenstocks tho) so its not like I don't have anyting decent to wear.

I really thought the sticker thing was silly when I read about it, in a FlyLady email, but it really works LOL I love seeing those bright spots on my calendar, and the kids like it too. They made me promise we'd do a Homework calendar this year. We did one last year.... every day they did their homework without complaint, they got a sticker, and at the end of the month, whoever had the most stickers got a treat. Bribery works wonders LOL

Ok, I'm gonna go get dressed. I laid my clothes out last night, but I'm still in the t shirt I slept in and my sweats. I'm gonna tackle Mt Washmore today too. I have most of the laundry washed and dried, but it is in a SERIOUS mountian on my loveseat :( Here is a pic of the laundry (this is over a week ago, so its bigger now. 15 minutes at a time.
