I was feeling motivated today and I felt like my dirty kitchen sink was mocking me. So I decide to take my first baby step as a FLYbaby and shine my sink. My sink is now sparkling, all of the clean dishes are put away and there are only a small handful of dirty dishes on the counter. It may not be much, but I feel really good about it!
Positive thought for the day: I love that I completed my first goal to getting organized! I can do this!

Learning to FLY
For anyone that knows me outside of work, they know that I am not so organized and messy. For some reason I tend to be the opposite at work. Super organized, efficient, my area stays clean. I'm not sure why I can't incorporate this in my home life. Maybe it's because someone that I don't love is evaluating me?
So part of my problem seems to be that I am a perfectionist. If I can't be perfect why do it at all? I'm also a bit on the lazy side. I'd much rather be on the computer, watching TV, or playing with my little girl.
I am a SHE (sidetracked home executive) and I have a good friend that is also a SHE. So we got together to come up with a plan to try to get organized and help keep our houses clean. It would also become a check system. Sadly I think I am failing at this. So I'm hoping that putting it here and charting my progress with help me.
I did a search and came upon FLYlady.net. Now I had heard about her before so I had a vague idea what this was about. And my friend and fellow SHE is using this program and is actually making progress in our combined goal. So I decided to sign up and try to stick with it. I signed up 2 days ago and have yet to start. I've decided that I will start on August 1, because a new month also feels like a fresh start.
What is FLY? It means Finally Loving Yourself. Which sounds good to me! I get daily emails with the next days plan, and she has a month of baby steps to get started. Baby steps sound good to me! So that is my plan and I will stick to it!

It's too hot!
Ugh, it's currently 103 degrees outside. This is the 3rd day in a row of 100 degree heat. We had to sleep downstairs last night of the couches (Anorah in the pack n' play) because it was just way too hot upstairs. Luckily we have a window a/c. I've been able to keep the temp inside at 74. Can't wait until this heat wave is over! Today was supposed to be the last day, but I think it's supposed to be another hot one tomorrow. At least I am not at work...

9 months
I am terrible about keeping up with this blog! My little peanut turns 9 months old tomorrow! She is getting big way too fast!
She currently has 2 teeth fully in, the bottom 2. Now there are 5 more trying very hard to make it through. 5 teeth almost in=teething hell! It's gotten a little better the last couple days, no more night wakings screaming in pain at least.
Anorah is now able to stand alone, but only if she's in the mood! She pulls up on everything, and walks along the furniture. I think I'm going to have an early walker here! Don't know if I'm completely ready for that or not.
I went shopping with Anorah and my MIL today. We got Anorah tons of cute little outfits! I can't wait until they fit! Nothing else completely exciting going on. Until later.
