Okay so I had fallen off the wagon again. I am going to try really really hard to stay on target again! I love flylady's new one habit a month thing. So I decided where I fall apart in my house, it all has to do with eating! So my new habit is to quit eating out so much! I made a two week meal plan and plan on sticking with it!

So what new habit are you picking up this month?

Oh gosh, Kaye, I am off the wagon again as well. I have had strep with complications and this past week I have done little else but stay in bed. Ugh. My house is a disaster. One new habit? I think I should make my one habit to keep my major hot spot, my kitchen counter, clear. I know I should be doing that as part of my routines, but that is always the first area to gather the clutter again. When that area is cluttered, the whole house looks bad, even if it's clean. But when it's clean, even if everywhere else is messy, the house looks good. So I will make that my habit. Okay, time to go clear it! LOL. ;)

Thanks for the motivation, Kaye. The counter is clear and I feel much better.

Glad I helped. Not an hour after I posted my washing machine broke, I have water ALL over my downstairs, okay only in three rooms. I was standing right there when it started, I thought no big deal, got the towels out, well it went under the fridge through the wall to my family room. UGH! But hey all those rooms were picked up and vacuumed, so it was just wet carpet, no big deal!

Wet carpet still might be a big deal but much less than the stuff that could have been all over the floor!

My new habit? To make my bed. I've been letting that slide because I get up at 6:45am and Dh goes to sleep around 8:30am so I figured there was no point in making it for less than two hours. Well, DH likes to lay on top of the bed with a throw blanket so he folds that when he gets up. Voila! A made up bed for the rest of the day and straightened sheets for me to slide into. I've been doing it all month and I'm loving it!
