I know where to go....
Quote From: luv2fix I so identified with the woman who's house was messy. It wasn't piled to the ceilings like some who are obviously seriously ill. It just had stuff everywhere. My husband says that the next house we get all the surfaces are going to be rounded because I fill up every flat spot. The problem I have is that if I can't see it I don't remember to do it. As a consequence everything is out and my poor husband can't see his things because he can't find it unless it's the only thing out. I wish I could change my habits and become a person who is neat and organized all the time. Where can people like me go for help? I know exactly where to go: www.flylady.net and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FlyLadyMentors/ The founder is Marla Cilley and it took her 9 months to reclaim her house from clutter and she started be shining her sink. The second link is to sign up for daily emails that will let you know what to do and give you inspiration. The biggest thing I can tell you is don't think that this is a magic pill and your house will become sparkling and beautiful overnight, because it won't. I have been with FlyLady since before my daughter was born and my house still isn't where I want it, but my family can walk through the house without tripping, I can cook dinner without having to un-bury my kitchen, my daughter can play without my fear of her getting a hold of something that could hurt her and, most importantly, my house is no longer full of trash (literally). It is a long road to get from where you are to where you want to be, but it is not difficult, unless you make it that way. Just check out the website (flylady.net) and take a look. I will keep you in mind and hope that the next time I see the group grow that one of them may be you. Good luck!!!!
