A Day in the Life of the Orndorff's

Friday, February 17, 2006 - FlyLady

Okay, I was inspired to write about Flylady after commenting on Lissa's blog about schedules.

Flylady was a tool God used to change my life in many needed areas.  I started "Flying" about 2 years ago when my cousin recommended the website www.flylady.net.  Having a whole week over Thanksgiving that year to read the material and get pumped-up to get my life in order, I headed home with plans of grandieur to declutter my home 15 minutes a day.

I will admit these "plans of grandieur" happen often in many different areas of my life, so I was hesitant going in that I was setting myself up for what I am just now calling, "Phase-Phailure." 

Two years later, I am presently surprised that Flylady has stuck and the routines have actually become part of my life.  Am I a slave to having a perfectly in order, clean home?  No--that is the freedom of Flylady!  The best result of implementing Flylady routines is that I now have much available time to spend with my God, my husband, and my children.  I am not living in CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome).

She has helped me overcome the Perfectionism and the Materialism Monsters.  I am enjoying living a simplified life and being able to bless others with our abundance from time to time because I don't have to hold on to stuff  "just-in-case."

I am so excited to say--I'm not perfect and neither is my house--and that is okay (at least most of time).

Thanks for the idea of Flylady. I read a bit last night and will read some more. It has been a while since refreshing myself with the information from her site. I think it will be helpful. I enjoyed reading your posts too. You sound very creative! I love the soap boat idea...is that from Weaver curriculum? Love it! God bless, Lissa

That idea is straight out of Weaver. I love it. I am slowly letting go of all my kid's craft books because I just use Weaver anyway.
