It keeps you centered. I hook my window cleaner bottle over the side and toss my swiffer in and I'm ready to move around the house! I like to throw a couple of small boxes in as sub dividers for different rooms in the house. When I'm done I just pull out the boxes and take them to their assigned rooms!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-15563005239538073732008-04-09T06:58:00.000-05:002008-04-09T06:58:00.000-05:00Cool!

I must warn everyone NOT to use the leaf blower to blow the dirt out from under the refrigerator. It makes a BIG mess EVERYWHERE!<BR/><BR/>I was so proud of the timer hint I used it at school. Suddenly I sensed someone watching me. Three teachers were standing in my doorway, "We heard that beeping and wondered what it was." I was so embarrassed to say, "I have to use a timer to keep me on track." I didn't do that again unless I was alone on a week-end.

I find pockets of 15 minutes here and there...when Kyle's in the tub, when I'm talking on the phone, and just clean. Dust a little, sweep a little, declutter and straighten a drawer. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the spring cleaning!LoriAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567777495182314098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-1498290256118493852008-04-08T15:41:00.000-05:002008-04-08T15:41:00.000-05:00My task for the day..... the "day" being my timer....My task for the day..... the "day" being my timer.... going through the mound of clothes in the basement that have been outgrown.

Rather than repeat myself a million times or nag, I set a timer for clean-up time or coming to the table and voila it happens with a lot less stress for everyone.<BR/><BR/>You and I doing the same thing..I am digging out spring jackets and rain boots and wondering if I am tempting fate my washing the snowsuits one last time.Jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100043209000589029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-52893765961566710022008-04-08T12:41:00.000-05:002008-04-08T12:41:00.000-05:00I love that you're in this organizing mode -- we'r...I love that you're in this organizing mode -- we're on the same wavelength lately.
