adpaz. I want to START from a clean house, and then I could manage routines to keep it clean.
Yes, I've tried FLYlady. The routines are good, but I cannot handle all that glurge that comes along with the reminders. And BatLady's and alt_fly's reminders are NOT detailed enough.
And I am fundamentally not patient enough to handle "it didn't get this messy in a day, it won't get clean in a day." I don't care. I want it clean NOW NOW NOW. And I think it DID get this messy in a day -- the day we moved in. Right?
I am also really burnt on cooking at home. I want to run the kitchen in my house the way we run it at work -- certain staple items always in stock, and make familiar and new dishes from combining Stuff On Hand, and just replenish the raw materials as needed. I need to figure out what it is that people will EAT, as components, and then make sure we just stock for that. And I have to take into account the diabetic and the picky eight-year-old, AND a budget. Aaaaaargh.
I had this desk all clean a few months ago -- whenever it was I made my post about Legos. It's a pit again. I do not understand it. I do not know why it is a pit. But there is stuff everywhere, and it's a disaster.
WHERE ARE MY HOUSE ELVES?
