It's quiet.. Too Quiet

My kids come home this weekend. They flew down last weekend to spend this week with my parents. I'm sure they've had a blast, I've gotten random messages from my dad with photos to prove it. My daughter has also sent a few photos through facebook. It's been very quiet, though, around my house. Almost too quiet. Fortunately for me, the dogs have been more than willing to step up their game and wrestle loudly behind me while I'm trying to make calls for work.

It's getting close to the start of school again, so next week we'll be trying to set a regular schedule again to get us adjusted.  In theory it'll make it easier on my son to get on the bus in the mornings.  In reality, it'll make it easier on me to start the battle now so that I'll know what to expect once school starts.  How soon do you start changing from summer schedules back to school schedule?

FLYing update

I'm in stasis. I haven't moved forward, I haven't moved back. I suppose this is a relatively GOOD thing, it just isn't getting things done. I have a hard time being motivated to do things when I'm at the school during the day, coming home to help kids get dinner and homework done. Hard habits to break. Hopefully I'll improve next week. I'm not currently scheduled to work, so I want to work on the ceiling in my den.

I am still managing to shine my sink and to swish & swipe in my bathroom. I always lay out my clothes and get dressed to the shoes. I do manage to do a 5 minute 'clean your flat surfaces' but that seems a never ending battle (probably always will be). I just haven't managed to keep with the goals set daily. I'm still working on it, though.

FLYing progress

Just thought I'd update that for the most part I'm still following the plans. I've been working on my control journal. I've gotten to Day 8 of the journal baby steps, which I think is good. I'll admit, my kitchen sink looks a lot better. The master bathroom is looking better too. October is declutter month, which I haven't been as good about working on as I should. I hope to do better on that later this week. I should be on day 10 of baby steps, but I haven't done it yet. I'm 'maintaining' at day 9. I promise to do better.
