Housekeeping with FlyLady

You know what I have found out about housekeeping? When something is clean, it's easier to keep clean than if it's dirty. Since we are moving in a week, I have been busy trying to do the time-consuming cleaning before moving day. This consists of the stove, fridge, bathroom, walls, etc. I'm doing it to make the cleaning go faster next Monday, but also so that when people are here to help, they are not completely grossed out by what is (used to be) hiding there. But, since I have done that, I have been really good about keeping my sink shined (those of you familiar with Flylady know what I'm talking about) and cleaning up any messes in those already-cleaned areas right away. Wow, my kitchen has been so much cleaner this week! I often feel overrun by the dishes that accumulate in the sink, but I have managed to stay on top of them (mostly) in an effort to keep that kitchen decent. So, I am very proud of myself and I hope that I can just keep up the habit at our new apartment.
Also, I mentioned FlyLady.net above. Although I do not follow her exactly, I have adopted some of her ideas. So if any of you need help with decluttering, etc, check her out!

I will definitely look up this FlyLady person. Moving out of here is going to take two years, just getting rid of tons of junk! One should never live in a house this long and then move!

I just shined my sink today! YEAH! We will see if it lasts or not. How is the moving going? Hope all is well.
