Today's outlook.

This post really is being written because I know that one of my friends is trying to get her house in shape as well, and it helps her to read my blog.  This week, as said earlier, is all about the kids' rooms and bathroom.  Today is really simple.  Pick up all obvious trash in the rooms, and clean the kid's toilet...  the inside of the toilet is already clean, because I've gone through the process of thoroughly cleaning it (I found this pumice stone, on a stick, specifically for toilet bowls and porcelain safe that is AWESOME!).  So today what I had to do was just spray down the outside, especially around the back, and wipe it all down.   So, that's the bathroom.  Should take no more than 15 minutes to do.  I did it already when we were in there to brush lilly's teeth.  Next I have to pick up the obvious trash in the girls' rooms.  Easy enough.  I'm also going to take 15 minutes in Jasmine's room to hang up clothes and take out the ones that don't fit her.  That's it, 15 minutes and I'm done, no matter how far I have or haven't gotten. 

So far today, this is what I've done:  made bed, showered, got dressed, brushed teeth, swished toilet and wiped down sinks, emptied trash in bathroom.  Did the same for Lilly and her room/bathroom when she got up.  When Jasmine got up, I started the laundry and then brought the kids downstairs.  Once downstairs, I emptied the trash in the main bathroom.  I'm starting to make my way around to all the hotspots in my DECLUTTERED rooms.  The other rooms will have to wait until they're decluttered as well.  It sounds like a lot to do in a morning, but it's not.  And it's not something that I started doing all it once.  I've slowly added one more thing to my routine so that it's becoming an automatic thing.  I just do a little as I enter a room and it really only has taken me an hour TOPS when combined all together.  The key is to just do what you know you can do in a day, and get used to doing that...  then add new things.  Always get used to doing one or two things before you start trying to add more. 

That's it.  I just wanted to get that said while there's still a lot of daytime left today.  I'll write more later.
