Tackle it Tuesday
I usually use the FlyLady system for keeping my house clean and organized. Of course, my house is not as clean and organized as I would like it to be. I don't expect that it will be until the Empty Nest season of life. And that's ok, except that I am trying to keep as good a grip on housework as possible.
Other than FlyLady's routine system (which is wonderful!), the thing that helps me tremendously is to change up the routine periodically. Recently, one of the changes I made is to Tackle it Tuesday (see linkbox at bottom of blog).
Today I decided to post my before picture. I am posting it prior to beginning my tackle so as to help me be accountable. I certainly wouldn't want to leave this image in your head. So the added motivation of posting an "after" picture will help keep me from procrastinating today. I hope to have my "after" pic up by the end of the day.
Ok - about the picture. This is a section of my master bedroom. The worst room in the house (other than the basement). It is so neglected. I suppose because it is the room least used, least trafficked and not seen by any guests. Actually, it is not the least used because the master bedroom is used for many purposes! Other than the obvious uses of getting dressed, sleeping and making babies........it is the Revolving Laundry Dumping Grounds as well as the Holding Dock for Homeless Items.
What you see in the photo is a section from the Holding Dock. The vacuum has no home along with baby books, ultrasound pictures from my twins (4 yrs ago), photo albums, various papers, "wounded" clothing, etc.
I will tackle this today and find home placement for all these items!
Let the adoptions begin!

My bedroom is the same, including the homeless vacuum. I tell the children not to dump things in their bedrooms and I do it to mine. Goodluck with Tackle it Tuesday, since i'm ahead in time and it's Wednesday I will not be able to tackle mine, I'm very disappointed :).
