A FROG a week equals a special treat!

So busy at the moment I am going to find it hard to annihilate frogs. Perhaps I could give the odd tadpole the fright of their lives.
So............tomorrow I am going to lookout some of last winter's clothes and wash, iron, do whatever necessary to keep me going for a few days at least. Then I will try to do a few a day until the summer clothes are packed away and all the winter clothes, (or at least the ones that still fit!) will be hung in the wardrobe.
This should be enough tadpoles to keep me occupied for a week, or until they have matured into frogs.

I've been using the FlyLady Thread for about three months and it has made such a difference, but I need to go to the next stage - and this Thread is just the thing! Hurrah to Football Widow for thinking of it and starting it.

Promise to self: One a month.

Outstanding Frogs to be tackled one rivet at a time:

1. Draft cards - Do one a day
2. Chapter 10;
3. One complete Rainbow Journal by the end of November.

Over the next few days I'll read the whole thread from the start, but I'm inspired by the random posts I've read so far.

I've been mulling over my three full blown Frogs and have reached a strange conclusion. I have asbolutely no idea how to reward myself. I'm not sure whether that means I suffer from a lack of imagination, which is unlikely because I'm quite creative, or have such a lovely life I don't lack for anything. In any event, I'm puzzled. I also think it's quite revealing, but I don't know how to deal with it.

I'm thankful that I no longer feel responsible for the kids bedrooms....they are adults now, so other than putting clean laundry on their beds, I just keep the doors shut and pretend that their rooms are sparkly on the other side!!:rotfl:

I tend to have a glass of wine, long hot shower or some 'me' time as rewards (preferably all three!! ) ...I don't really need to do much else to make myself happy either, but guilt free 'me' time is the best thing in the world!!

I have done a freezer inventory ready for the November grocery challenge....found six pots of unidentifiable stuff, so have warned dh that we will be having at least two days of 'freezer roulette' a week over the next few weeks :eek: I am thinking about doing an inventory of the dry foods/tins which are currently in the spare room, but far too afraid to venture in there at the moment, so will just do 'grab three things and make it up as I go along' dinners from there over the next month!!

Frog for the day is making up a menu plan with the freezer contents as I have no intention of doing any food shopping (other than salad type stuff) until it has all gone!!
