It's Time to Fly

When the kids went back to school I started a big project, I decided to clean out our garage. I started and wanted to surprise Rich because I didn't know if I could really do it and I didn't want him expecting something I couldn't really do. You have to understand that with the 5 moves we have done in Folsom everything that didn't have a home went into the garage including all the unpacked boxes that just kept being moved instead of tossed. You couldn't even walk though it. I wish I had taken a before picture so you could see the difference. Well Rich started to notice all the things I had found that made it back into the house. He said "Are you cleaning the garage or just rifling though it?"

I told him he just had to come see. I had done enough work that you could see a big difference, he was so excited, but was afraid that I would quit now that he knew. No way I was going to be able to park my car in there!

It took me about a month to finish, with a little help from Uncle Joe and the family at the end. It makes me smile every time I can park my car in there!

Soon after this Rich and I were talking and he was complaining that the kids can't have any friends over because our house was always a mess. After I got over being mad I knew I had to do something so I signed up for http://www.flylady.net/ again,

she helps you set up cleaning routines, declutter your house (you can't really deep clean with stuff in the way) and helps you feel good about what you get done. I knew it was working when after clearing off the dressers in my room Rich said" it's like our house is finding itself" so sweet!

My house is coming together, I'm even inviting the in-laws to Thanksgiving, I'm spending less time on the computer and just more happy with the work I'm getting done. If you haven't check her web site you should!
