...and not a moment too soon. I feel totally kerfuffled lately. I am so behind! Maybe it's 'cause we had such a weird summer; distracted with getting the Sweet Girl back on her feet. Maybe it's 'cause I keep on adding to the to-do list and project pile without clearing off the old stuff... maybe it's just 'cause I've been lazy.
Not lazy, really. Overwhelmed. I take a look at what's needing to get done, and I rebel and run away from what I know I should be doing. Please tell me I'm not alone in doing that ....
Unfortunately, we don't have a "Jeeves" hanging out in a spare closet anywhere, so I'm it. Look at Jeeves' face -- it's the one I'd get if he popped in and saw my house this week. LOL It's the old saying -- "if it's to be, it's up to me".
Alright. No Jeeves, but I got Flylady.
Back on the wagon I go.
I recently updated my routines and emergency pages and put it all together in a new control journal. I think if I just have a system to follow every day, I'll do better.
Call it a Jeeves on paper. Who knows? Jeeves probably had a Control Journal himself.
Back to school time means back to a schedule with routines. Especially for me. :-)

I need one of those journals...though I'd probably start making it, get interrupted, never finish it and the house would continue to be a total mess!
I've often thought I'd like my very own Jeeves, though he'd pull that face at me ALL THE TIME because I'm so slovenly!!

I would like to know more about your control journal. What exactly do you write in it?
I love Flylady. I need to start flying over at this house again. It's starting to get out of control!
So glad to know I'm not the only one out there feelin' the way I do. :-)
For more info on the control journal, go to Flylady's website and visit the Control Journal page. I put both links up in the post.
My take on my control journal?
EMERGENCY: all contact info needed in an emergency. My neighborhood's emergency plan, ALL phone numbers of people that need to be reached, insurance policy #s, how to turn stuff off, what to grab if we must evacuate...ETC.
DAILY/WEEKLY/ZONES: all my routines that keep me on my routine! ;-)
MENU/GROCERY: blank menu planning sheets, current menu plan
PHONE NUMBERS: all my contact info in case technology (computer and PDA and cell phone) fails me.
FAMILY: family night plans, children's lit lists, rules, helps, etc. This section is always in flux...
HAPPINESS: quotes, graphics and ideas and plans that make me happy -- I also keep a list of wants here in case Mr. H wants to spoil me. hee hee ♥
HOUSE: seasonal maintenance lists, projects and dreams that Mr. H and I have for the house. I keep a separate binder for improvement/remodeling inspiration pictures and ideas...
That's my Control Journal in a nutshell.
