Flylady is going to be in Dallas this Saturday. Yahoo is giving her a free party in honor of having reached 500,000 members. And I'm going. Her website sent out a request for people to do an interview. I thought you might like to see what I sent back. Here goes:

Yes, I can do the interview. But I don't know if you want me. I have basic routines down, thanks to Flylady, and our lives run so much better. I have been doing ths for about five years now. I usually do the weekly cleaning, and quite frankly my husband usually does it with me...which takes about a half an hour total and wow, it winds up being fun. It just gives you such a feeling of satisfaction. we have fallen off of the five minute pick up before bed routine because I fall asleep in the lounge chair watching tv. And Leanne, what a woman! There are only two of us who eat out often, but I have at least two of her cookbooks, and I love them. When our lives are hectic, seriously stressed to where I can't even think, I always copy (on my copier) a week of menus with the shopping list and head to the store. And that's it, that's about all I do. But this little I do has revolutionized my life and I wish I had had them forever. I can tell the interviewer that the routines have have not only created calm in day to day activities, and calm when going through stress like here comes a hurricane, but they have also redirected my life during down times. In the past ten years I have faced a huge amount of betrayal and rejection from very close family members, largely due to money. But even during my most hurt periods, I would still find myself crawling out of bed, pulling up the covers and thereby starting my morning routine! Tears and all! (even camping when my husband is still sleeping LOL I would be pulling up my side of the covers) Other than not having a messy home, daily routines did something for me mentally. Each routine reminded me, each time, "I can take care of myself emotionally. I can do this. Each day I can take care of myself emotionally just like I do these routines physically. Even if no one else is there for me, I am strong and resourceful and I can get through this." I bet all flybabies are like this. And that mental shift, alone, is simply amazing. Thank you Flylady.
