      I need some encouragement

      It's a comfortable 72 degrees here.

      I went home at lunch and noticed the following: My grass looks like straw because I am too cheap to water it. I have some weird yellow weeds growing about 15 feet high by the back fence (they don't seem to need water apparently). I also noticed the dust bunnies flying around my hallway. Then the sunshine was coming in through the windows onto my black stove and dishwasher and I could see all the drip marks and food crust. Why do I even look around at home? Oh right, I don't. Normally I just turn of the lights and go read a book. LOL

      Now how did I get on the subject of my less than stellar housekeeping skills?

      It's ok, I'll just watch an episode of Hoarders and feel really good about myself.

        Sun shines through your windows? I've been thinking for the past year and a half that I ought to wash mine.

          K9 - Love your comment about hoarders. I am always conflicted when I watch shows like hoarders or the grossley over weight people, depending on my mood they can either motivate me to clean house and loose weight so I NEVER get like that or make me say F' it my house is not that bad I'll let it go another week or am I am not that overweight I can eat another bag of chips!

            LOL Fly and VLiv....you both make really good points. Ok, so maybe the sunshine doesn't come "pouring" in through the windows, but some light eeks by...enough to highlight the mess. And so true about the hoarders/obesity shows...you can go one of two ways....kind of like the Intervention shows, where you really feel the person needs help, or you tell yourself "at least I'm not that bad"....

            Maybe I'll just stick to watching WWE Wrestling. Greasy men flopping all over the ring doesn't give me any conflicted feelings. :ey:

                                Hi Rudemama and welcome!
                                Glad to hear you're back to being AF! It's not easy, but it can be done. I know Mama and I have both struggled for years, with many stops and starts. The main thing is to never quit quitting!
                                Keep posting, we'd love to get to know you better!


                                p.s. Morning Mama! How are you today?
