Day 1 - nope, sink is not shiny

It's about noon right now.  I have a Control Journal saved on my computer AND in a 3 ring binder - neither is open right now. 

Lately I have gone in spurts with dishes.  Some days I'm good, others, not.  I don't have that many to do, so I am off to clean them up, shine the sink and see EXACTLY how long it will really take me.

Ok, it took me 20 minutes.  BUT, I washed, dried and put away the dishes.  PLUS, I scrubbed the sink and the drainer (I don't have a dishwasher) and did a baking soda/vinegar treatment for the drains.  Yay me!! 

While I was doing this I got to thinking - I remember a while back reading a testimonial about having different "shiny sink" areas in each of the rooms of our home.  Those are the places where, if they are kept in order, the rest of the room tends to follow.  In the dining room, that's easy-the DR table.  In the living room?  Getting Mount Washmore cleared off the sofa and getting the clutter off the coffee table. 

I'm not going to try for miracles today.  I will burn out-I know that.  My goal for the rest of the day is to get those shiny sink areas cleaned up.  Just those two rooms.  I have 3 kids coming home from school soon and I'd rather be available to be "mom" for them & not crazy, psycho, crabby cleaning lady.  ;-) 

Tomorrow's babystep should be easy....my shoes are on and tied right now!
