Yay!!
I finished the counters. At some point we need to go through the cabinets and fix them up. Right now hardly anything is going into there because stuff is falling over and stuff. But I’m hot and I think I’m going to call it done. I also took care of the microwave and the table. We now have a place to eat!! OK, the table is not very big. Probably only big enough for the kids and maybe one adult, two if we squeeze. Of course there is only one chair.. LOL. I’ll have to see what I can do. We have that chair in our room still I’ll probably put at it, even though it is rather big.
The only thing really left in there is my mother’s corner cabinet and this buffet type thing. I’m not going to touch them. So I put clutter stuff on there. If mom is serious about decluttering then I’ll sic her on that stuff. But I’m not going to worry about it. The inside of the cupboards I’ll do with mom maybe next week. Then we can purchase more than a couple of days worth of groceries at a time.
I feel good. I’m glad I got that stuff taken care of. Of course I find myself having to give them their stuff they are piling on the counters. Ok, mostly mom is piling stuff on the counters. Today I found her pills and her mail and her makeup and etc. She says “It’s so hard to keep the counters clean.” I told her she just needs to train herself to stop dumping stuff. Fly Lady HotSpot check! 🙂 Well that is a major hotspot in this house! 🙂 I’ll have to teach her to hotspot check… *SNICKERS* Then I can randomly call her after I move out and go “HOT SPOT CHECK” Aren’t I bad?
OK… that’s one room down! How much more do you think I can get away with? *SNICKERS*

I hadn’t heard about flylady until I started poking around tvch (they have a flylady forum – whole group of them there are flylady types)- and funny but I instantly thought of you 😛
Now you mention it here – snorrrrrrrrrrrt.
course I’m still wondering how much it would cost me to fly you to bugtussle to clear out my disaster zone.

BWAHAHAHA I’m one of those annoying types that FlyLady calls B.O. Born Organized! I’m a freak of nature and I admit it. I alphabetize my spices. Have I ever shared my neurotic little rule with you? “By size, alphabetize” I know… I know… I need mental help and bad… *GRINS*
And hey… i might take you up on that offer this fall. I figure by the end of summer MAYBE mom’s house will be decent… mwahahahaha! I’m hoping she lets me have full reign. Though she’ll regret because I’ll kick so much stuff to the kurb she won’t know what hit her!! At least if she gives me partial reign… I can do some good. 🙂
I will tell you, I’m kinda missing my own space. Is it not funny how we get stuck into ruts? Like me? Stayng up to all hours. And here it is bad because there’s just no space to do that!! With six of us living here… Yipes!
Did you happen to go look at my moblog for what I accomplished in her kitchen? I’m so proud of myself. 🙂
Well I’m off to read my Buffy book some. I’m hoping to get sleepy so I can head to bed soon! It’s one AM!!

YAY Go Oz!
You should definitely introduce your mom to Flylady. I’m thinking of being a new flybaby again myself, gonna work on the house more tomorrow. Today after I was pretty productive this omorning I’ve just enjoyed cuddling with my boy… don’t get to do that very often, he’s too busy running to cuddle with. Poor sick fella.

Re: YAY Go Oz!
I think she’s done Flylady before but it was too strenious or something. Probably too anal retentive for my poor clutterbug mum! But she’s definately suffering from CHAOS. But I’ve managed to make it all weekend with a clean kitchen! WOOHOO. And she has said we will work tomorrow on the family room! YAY! Of course she has already said she refuses to get rid of any of her books. Which normally I’d understand but this woman can’t fit all her books in the house. She has 10 large paperbags worth of books in her room. She has them under the bathroom sink. She has them in and on the china cabinet. She has them taking up more room in her washroom than clothes! LOL… So we’ll see what good we can do. If we can at least take care of everything else… the books in here are at least on shelves… for the most part. LOL
