Snow Day

Today was a pretty good day. Schools were closed, so Beaver's daycare was closed as well. I took the day off instead of having my mom watch Beaver. It started off with breakfast & errands with Ma and Beaver. While we were driving, I told Ma that I'd been thinking about giving Beaver a playmate. She was much more receptive to the idea than I'd hoped. There are concerns, but I think I can address them and hopefully by the end of the year, I'll be ready to start trying. There's alot of backstory here, but that will have to come later.

I was also FlyLady productive today. I'm on babystep day 3 now and got & stayed dressed to lace up shoes. This is the step that I usually skip because I don't wear shoes at home, but this time I'm trying to REALLY commit to the system. I'll play Mr. Rogers when I get home and change from dress shoes to comfy sneakers. Now I just need to get a new pair! I put away everything I bought while Beaver was napping, emptied the dishwasher, put away laundry & started 2 new loads (which are sitting in the washer & dryer as I type). I made both beds (which I never ever do) & Beaver helped. I even did today's mission by sweeping the front porch!

Tomorrow's step is to write things down. I already did a bit of that while Beaver was at gymnastics today. I started lists of things to get, house projects, things to do, and nighttime routine.

All in all, it was a full, rich day.

FlyLady - Day 1 (again)

I've been a FlyBaby for almost 3 years but I've never gotten past day 4 or 5. So here I am on day 1 again. My sink is shining and I'm on my way. This is the first time I've kept any kind of log, maybe it will help me to stay on track. I really do like the FlyLady system and it makes sense to me. I just need to stick with it.

First Post Ever

I've never kept a diary or journal so we'll see how this goes. This will be the story of my struggles through my unique version of single motherhood by choice, weight loss, organization, dating (if I ever get to that point), and everyday life in general.

And away we go!
