Next shopping trip

I plan to go to Publix and use a $3/1 Publix coupon and a $3/1 manufacturers coupon to buy some Adams Flea and Tick products.  Will post later if I get a good deal.

Plan to shop CVS and get their Colgate toothpaste.  I have 2 $.75/1 coupons and they are $2.79 and you get $2.00 ECB so it will be like getting them for 4 cents each.

Memorial Day

Just spending a lazy day at home.  We did the cookout thing with family yesterday.  Got my living room and kitchen cleaned up and my sink is still shiny!  Will work on Master Bedroom and Bathroom this week.

Flying

I have to admit that I have not been Flying lately.  Let's be honest....I haven't even been fluttering!  I did start over yesterday.  My sink is nice and shiny again and after church today, I plan on cleaning my kitchen/dining area.  Then I will work on the living room next week.  It takes me all week during the week because I work a full-time job and am only able to get to it in the afternoons.  My oldest daughter has inspired me to start again.  Thanks, Jessica!

My Stockpile

Here are pictures of my stockpile.

My sink is still shiny!

Well it's been several days now and I am making sure I shine my sink before going to bed.  My master bedroom is also about 30 minutes away from being clutter free and very peaceful to sleep in.  I may never want to leave!  LOL

Master Bedroom after just TWO 15-minute sessions

Not finished but look at the difference 30 minutes made in my room!

Master Bedroom Before Pic

I am embarrased to post this here, but I feel like I need it as motivation to not let it go back once I get it clean again.  I will post after pic later this week.  At least my bed is made!  :)

Flying on Monday

My sink is still shiny, but I am not dressed to my shoes.  Will do that in the next few minutes hopefully.  Today begins work in Zone 4 - the master bedroom and boy, does my need work! 15 minutes at a time and I CAN do anything!

Pictures from tonight's Nertz Game

Nerts

Had an fun and interesting time at McDonald's after church tonight.  A bunch of the leaders of the youth group went for supper and they taught my daughter and me how to play Nerts.  A very fun and addictive card game. 

Going Back to School

My classes at University of Phoenix start Tuesday, February 22!  I am so excited!  I am getting my Bachelor of Science in Health Admninistration with a concentration in Health Management.  My daughter, Amber, is starting Liberty University in March for a BS in Psychology - Christian Counseling.

Flying

Hi to anybody who happens to read this.  :-)   I found the FlyLady site and I am loving it.  It can seem a bit overwhelming, but I have to remember Baby Steps! 

 I have shined my sink today!
