Hmm... Well yesterday was kindof a bust on the flying front. I knew it would be a tough day since I stayed up LATE monday night (3 am - but it was SO WORTH IT! Midnight crafting with friends!) Anyway I was tired and un-motivated ALL DAY yesterday. We did get to go to the Draper Temple open house. That was wonderful. However, on the flying front I didnt manage to wear shoes at all around the house yesterday! I did keep my sink shinny and wiped down a bathroom though!
Day three instructions are - Do what we have already done. WHEW! Maybe they know that day 2 is rough for most people and they need another go on day 3? LOL.... or I am just making that up to make myself feel better! Either way... I get a second chance at day 2! I am sitting here blogging with MY SHOES ON! Hair is done... MAKEUP is done... bed is made... sink is shined... and both bathrooms are wiped down and shinny. Hey... that makes it sound like I am doing pretty good! (we will leave out the fact that my kids are in jammies playing by themselves while I type this).
So here I go for another try at day 2 and wearing my shoes. Maybe tomorrow I will actually manage to get up before the kids.
Last I thought I would share my new motto. In one of the Fly lady e-mails they send last night they were talking about being happy now. We live in a world that sells happiness. Buy this, wear that, have what your neighbor has and you will be happy. Only is doesn't really work that way... we are just programed to THINK it works that way. The e-mail was all about being happy NOW with what you have.. who you are.. and what you have before you. One line of this e-mail hit me SO HARD that it is now my motto
DON'T PROCRASTINATE HAPPINESS!!!
I love it!!! I am a self proclaimed procrastinator so this one hit home for me. That is exactly what we do. "I will be happy when.....". It is OUR CHOICE to be happy or miserable. It makes me think of the POW during the Holocaust. He was happy. Someone asked him why and he replied that they could take everything away from him but his attitude... that was his. If HE can decide to be happy... the I sure had better be able to be happy!! I am SO BLESSED! So today I am making the choice not to procrastinate my happiness. The cleanliness of my house will not determine how happy I am. Today... I am happy to be me. I am happy to be alive and healthy. I am happy to have a loving husband and two adorable children who are healthy. I am happy to have a home to live in. I am happy to have weakness.... yep.. you heard me... I am happy to have some growing to do.. a direction.. learning, and purpose.
Today I am happy because I WANT to be happy.

Day 2- getting dressed to my shoes.
Well here we are on day 2 of my flying lessons
Day 1 went really quite well... though I didn't get around to cleaning out my kitchen garbage's. It took a few hours to shine my sink. Mostly because I had to stop after every step and give the kid-o's some attention. But I got it done! At first I was a bit... unsure... how I felt about the sink. When it was all said and done.. it wasn't that much different than before. It was kind of a let down.. until I decided that it only meant that my sink wasn't TOO BAD before and maybe I wasn't so 'far behind' as I thought I was! That made me smile a bit. Still I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated that I wasn't on some amazing emotional high because my sink was so shinny. So I came down stairs to work on my laundry while my mind was still contemplating the conundrum of my shiny sink. When I looked at my washing machine it came to me! I needed a SHINY WASHING MACHINE! My washer is something that I NEVER wipe down... GROSS! I know! I think about it EVERY TIME I do laundry... but never take the 5 minutes to get a rag and wipe all the lint and soap boogies off of it! So yesterday I DID!!!!! It was SO EASY! 5 minutes and I was DONE! My washer was nice and shinny white, lint and boogie free! Somehow my clothes seem CLEANER today! It made me feel so good! Now when I look at my washer it makes me smile. You should have seen my husbands face when I told him what I had done!!! So far I had not told him about the site.... it was my little secret project. Mostly I didn't want to get his hopes up for a perfect house when I still felt I would loose interest in the program after a week. But last night around the dinner table I could hold it in no longer. I told him about the site and about my task for day one. He was trying NOT to look as excited as I knew he was! LOL. When I told him about the shinny sink he said that was great and he was proud of me. Then said he was fighting the urge to look over his shoulder right then to look at it! LOL I told him "go ahead!" so he looked and said that it looked nice... especially the faucet. I knew it wasn't that impressive so I told him my theory that It didn't look shockingly different because I normally keep it decently clean. He consented to that theory. I then told him that since I hadn't felt this deep sence of satisfaction I had been expecting that I shined my washer instead. HIS FACE LIT UP!!! He said he was more impressed by that than anything!! It was GREAT!
Back on the subject of the sink though. I thought the idea of wiping it dry after every use was a little eccentric. Seemed silly to me... but I though... hey, I will give it a try and see if it is 'for me' or not. Well... I have to say... the FLYlady was right!! I LOVE my shiny faucet!! It looks NEW... ALL THE TIME! I use the sink... then wipe off the water spots and in seconds my sink looks like I JUST CLEANED IT AGAIN! This morning when I woke up and wandered into the kitchen I looked at my shiny faucet... AND SMILED! It made me feel good! What a strange sensation one silly clean faucet can make! So now I am a sink wiper! I think I may start leaving towels by ALL my faucets!
So on to day 2! Getting dressed down to my shoes! Here is what the FLYlady says about getting dressed to your shoes
"Why do I have to get dressed to my shoes?
Several years ago I worked for a direct sales cosmetics company. One main rule for that company was that you could not make a single phone call in the morning unless you were totally dressed all the way to dress shoes. The reason behind this duty was that you act differently when you have clothes and shoes on. You are more professional. The customer can tell when you don't feel good about the way you look. So, if getting dressed makes that big of an impression on someone that can't even see you, then what is it going to do to those who can see you. Mainly yourself.
Many stay at home moms (SAHM's) are guilty of not seeing the need to get dressed all the way to the shoes. They figure, since only their children will be seeing them, why bother? Well, I am here to tell you, that you will be amazed at the difference in your attitude about yourself, your children, and your home when you feel good about how you look. I don't want to hear, "I don't wear shoes in my house". Well you do now. Buy or clean up a pair just for that reason. - FlyLady "
Hm- here is the deal... I REALLY DON'T WEAR SHOES AT HOME! Never have! Not because I think I don't need too... well that too... but mostly because I don't like wearing shoes! lol. So here is my consent. I am going to try it... for today. I got up and got dresses like always but then I took a few minutes to do my hair and makeup. It feels good. But I haven't yet put my shoes on. I am going to though. I am going to spend the second half of my day wearing shoes around my house. I am going to TRY the theory out... just like drying the sink. Maybe I will find that the FLYlady is right once again... and maybe I will find that this is one of those things in her flight plan that I can adjust to myself. We will see! I will let you know tomorrow how it goes! So that is it. All I have to do today is wear shoes! Easy! (and I have to clean my bathrooms because my lovely son got into my makeup this morning and poured the soap all over the sink. ugh.

Day 1 of Flying lessons.
Well here it is... my second blog back in action. Here is the deal...
I AM LEARNING TO FLY!
Ok... not flying as in with the birds (sorry Jeremy) Flying as in
Finally Loving Myself.
I found this wonderful site trough a friend's blog. THANK YOU STEPHANIE!!! I will forever be in your debt! Here is the run down
This web site below is my new motivation!
http://www.flylady.net/
For a long time I have needed a change in my life. I knew that.... what I didn't know what HOW to make that change! I needed a schedule... a routine... a DIRECTION! I have never been able to make this change for myself. It is just to hard... to much.... to overwhelming to think of it all on my own. But now I have a friend to help me! The FLY lady. This lady is my new best friend! I LOVE HER! The whole site is dedicated to ladies like me. Ladies who need a little outside direction... some love.... a big hug... and a SHINY SINK to get me started! This site is all about learning to love yourself ONE GOOD HABIT at a time!
So I am taking the challenge.... I am learning to FLY. I am SO EXCITED about shining my sink today!! It is soaking in bleach as we speak! Am I intimidated.... OH YEAH!!! The negative voices keep telling me to stop now... that it is too much.... I will loose my interest so why start... I don't WAN'T to change, I LIKE being lazy!! But I know those voices are lying... they are the easy road voices. I can do better.... I deserve better.... I WANT to be better. So I am taking the plunge!
So why spill my guts on a blog?? Well.... I am very much a "words of affirmation" person. (If you have read the 'Love Language's' book you will know what I am talking about... if not... you should read it!) Anyway... I need to talk... I need people to KNOW what I am doing and tell me how great I am! lol. Lame I know. Instead of putting all this on my husband I am opening my heart to the web. No I don't expect comments on every post... or most of them. It is more that I feel like someone KNOWS what I am doing... and that is important. So the next time you come to visit me you can say "WOW.. your sink really IS shinny!" Also this is a motivational journal of my journey. This is my 'DEEP' blog. lol.
That brings me to another question. Why make a NEW blog for this? Why not use my other blog? Well basicaly..... because they are different catergories for me and need seperate spaces. I have a confesion..... I LOVE KIERANS BLOG! Kieran is always so open and honest in her posts. I feel like I know more about her than I ever thought I would. I check her blog daily hoping to get some of her inspiration. I would love to open up like she does... but I can't on my other blog... that is just me. My 'Family blog' is where I post the things people who want to keep up with my life MIGHT want to know. Funny thinks the kids do and say... what is going on in my home. Basic daily stuff. This blog... this is a personal journal. This is were I am going to grow... outloud. If you care to read along with me you can. If not... well I know I have a journal now.. even if it is just for me.
Ok.... enough blabbering?? YEAH I THINK SO!!! Just wanted to give a good intro to what I am doing here... for me... A guideling to remind me what I am doing when I get discouraged.
So today is Day 1 of my babysteps! I am Shinning my Sink! That is IT! nothing more. Not trying to shine my whole house in one day... that would discourage me. I am also working on laundry just because it is laundry day and my family needs clean clothes... but for once I am not going to beat myself up if (when) they are not all folded and put away at the end of the day. If my sink is shinny when I go to bed tonight... I will be happy... and I will feel good. This is a promise to myself.
Once my sink is shiny I MAY take the daily challenge and clean my garbage cans... I may not. We will see. I am excited to see what tomorows baby step will be. I am excited that I am excited about cleaning! So here we go! I am going to

I feel so loved!!!!
Ok, So I just have to tell you how loved I feel right now! My hubby comes home the other day and tells me he won a $100 gift certificate to Kohl's from a radio station drawing! SWEET! Then he tells me he is going to let me spend it! EVEN BETTER! So today I have to go pick it up from the station. Scott forwarded me the e-mail telling him that he had won and where to pick it up at. In this e-mail it says "Thanks for the sweet e-mail. How about this as a prize for your wife's first kiss? $100 to Kohl's" So I read this and think....My first kiss??? What does THAT have to do with a random drawing!!??? (p.s. my first kiss was with my sweet hubby) So I start bugging Scott about what the lady was talking about. He gets all shy and won't tell me!!!!! Finally he is bright red and he tells me that they were having a debate during the morning show on whether or not high schoolers should kiss around or wait for their first kiss to be truly special. Scott wrote in to them and told them that I had kept my first kiss special and given it to him and how much it had meant to him!
AAAWWWWWWWW....................
Then I was like "was that really so hard to tell me?" And he says.. "yes... my face is boiling.. now go away and let me sleep!" ROTFL! He is SOOO CUTE!!! It embarased him to tell me our first kiss was special to him! What a silly boy! (he dosn't share his feelings easily!)
So yeah... anyway.... I am feeling super loved right now! And I have 100$ to go spend at Kohl's! WOO HOO! (Scott is going to really be embarrassed if he finds out I put this up on my blog! lol... but hey... I am enjoying the loved feeling!)

OIY- cars SUCK!
What a totally crazy week this has been!!! My car TOTALLY DIED on my way home from Idaho last Thursday. It threw and engine rod... so it is really DEAD! The car isn't even worth what a used engine would COST, let alone even putting it in! So we decided to get us a 'new' car. (that means highly used car) So we spend Scotts 4 day weekend test driving Mini Vans. UGH. In the end though we found a WONDERFUL Toyota Sienna with low miles and all the bells and whistles in our price range (cheep). We got all the paperwork and stuff done yesterday and picked her up! YEAH! I now own a MINI VAN! WOOT! I am really excited!! Isn't she a beauty!???
Now that all that is out of the way I can get back to digi scraping! YEAH! (at least for a few days before I go with hubby to NY!!! YEAH HAW!
