In the fall when you see geese heading south for the winter flying along in the "V" formation, you might be interested in knowing what science has discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creats an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
People who are part of a team and share a common direction get where they are going quicker and easier, because they are traveling on the trust of one another.Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go through it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the power of the flock. If we have as much sense as a goose, we will share information with those who are headed the same way we are going.When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose takes over.
It pays to share leadership and take turns doing hard jobs.The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed.
Words of support and inspiration help energize those on the frontline, helping them to keep pace in spite of the day-to-day pressures and fatigue.Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded by a gunshot and falls out, two geese fall out of the formation and follow the injured one down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly or until he is dead, and then they launch out with another formation to catch up with their group.
If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other when things get rough.The next time you see a formation of geese, remember: It is a 'Reward', a 'Challenge', and a 'Privilege' to be a contributing member of a 'Team'.

School Days Are Here...YIKES!
Well school is literally right around the corner. I have been trying to get in order here but it's whipping my tail. I have a 4 yr old grand daughter and she will be starting school this year...YAY! Kind of :(
She is not on a bed time schedule and we are at wits end to figure this one out. Been searching for ideas and got a few saved in the favs folder, but we have to get on this now.
Also shopping for clothes has been rough, but thank goodness for the online Wal Mart store. I love me some Wally World and for right now she is at the age that the "name brand" isn't a big deal yet...So yes I have my shopping cart full and just waiting to hit the "check out" button.
So, I have a busy week ahead of me and I know this. It will be something I'm looking forward to and can't wait to see my GBaby meet her new playmates and friends..This is going to be a new chapter in my life and hers and WE are so ready...
This is a wake up call also, that reminds me that they don't stay little long or long enough...
Hold on to those precious memories and keep a camera in your pocket. LOL
Hope all you moms have a great year and may we all keep in touch and share our stories through the year..

Good Day!
Well this is my second blog entry for today. WOW! this is a first...
Got somethings done and as far as the Flying with company thingy, didn't happen. I couldn't wait for them to get up, which was around 5pm...Yeah teens!
Anyways I have figured that if anything is going to get done is to just do it myself, at least I know it will be done right. There is one thing I can't stand and that's sitting over someone and telling them how to do things. UGH! Having teens yourself you should know what I'm talking about.
So, i am on my own once again it seems. I will be making changes to my routines as soon as school starts, which is Aug. 15th for us. There will be chores for EVERYONE!
Besides all that I had a pretty productive day and enjoyed it with an afternoon swim with DH and GD4.. She learned how to swim underwater for a good bit today...She also learned to open her eyes under water. My grandkids are my heart. I enjoy spending time with them, just wish I could more often.
Hope you all have enjoyed your weekend. Now off I go to FLYland, to see what's happening with my FlySister.. See ya there
Company is FLYing w/ Family Day!
As I'm sitting here in the dark trying to think of something to blog about, I look around and see CHAOS! Holy Cow how did this happen? lol
I seem to get the FLYBaby blues when there is company in my home. I swear you would think a hurricane came through. The DGD4 has toys all over I go to bed with a shiny sink and it never fails, it's a mess when I get up...this is the time I feel like giving up on house work...What, does no one appreciate that I"m trying to make OUR home a little nicer by keeping it clean and tidy? You would think not!
I get up can hardly do my MR cause the DH & DGD are still in bed, so I can't make it up, the DS17twins and friends all sleep until 4pm sometimes later, cause they have their dang nights and days mixed up, and then by the time I do get things back to somewhat order...BAM! Here we go again. It's like I'm on shift work here...
Well this FLYmama, is clocking out today...I'm on a mission and today is the day. I know it's Sunday and suppose to be a day for relaxing, and that's by gosh what I plan on doing....
I will be asking my FlyBaby Surprise group to be giving me some TO DO projects that everyone here can do, including the guest....
So stay tuned! I will be posting the outcome here....

Pledge to Self...DIY
Everything has a purpose when you love to decorate. It's all in the eyes of the beholder.
I use to decorate and rearrange my house on a regular basis. I fell off the band wagon a few years ago BUT I am making a pledge to myself to change my thinking habits and start doing what I love to do.
I love taking unused objects and turning them into something usable. I also love refurbishing furniture, painting, etc. Anything to do with DIY projects I love!
So I'm hoping that in my next few blogs I will have some goodies to show off. I will be in the process now of finding things I have already done and posting pics to show you. So be looking back here soon....
Here's a sample....
this was a dresser unfinished. It had 3 drawers. I took the 1st 2 and cut them and turned them into 2 doors that opened. I used a crackle effect and used gold leaf paint for a splash of color...this was done about 12 years ago and can now use some TLC....One of my first DIY projects
This is a old window that was painted, not by me but I have done many like this...I wish I had taken pics of the one's I did...Have plenty of windows to work on, so stay tuned or if anyone has any suggestions on a idea of what to paint, let me know.
This use to be a bassinet, one of those wicker ones. I took the top of and turned it into a bench....
If you need any ideas on how to do something or need a idea for one of your own items, PLEASE feel free to ask me...I would love to help!

Storing Toy Tips/Ideas
Ever wonder what to do with all the toys that are scattered from one end of the house to the other? I do! Well I have searched and found some great ideas and tips I wanted to share with you. I also came up with a couple of my own.
Hope this helps.....
First thing is to get rid of things
First, limit the number of toy your child owns. Avoid duplications. A child does not need two stacking rings, or two shape sorters. If your child ends up with a lot of duplications for some reason, consider donating the less favorite one to charities or selling it at a garage sale.
Be selective. Don't buy a toy just because it strikes your (or your child's) fancy. Only buy toys which are most beneficial to your child. See guide to choose child toys.
Don't buy toys which will take up a lot of indoor space and difficult to store If your children want big toys such as a play tunnel or a play house, make sure to buy the one which can be disassembled easily and stored compactly.
Stop giving toy as a gift.
Give your child something else instead, such as getaways to your child's favorite place.
Don't be a pack rat. Inspect your child's toy regularly and discard non-functional toys. Encourage your child to give away old toys. One trick to make your child realizes that she no longer plays with a particular toy is to put the toy away for a certain amount of time. If she does not come to you and asks, "Where is my ...", then it means that she doesn't care about that toy anymore. You can then ask her to give the toy away.
More tips
Now ideas for storage, here's just 3
1. Laundry Hampers are a great way to store toys. They do not occupy too much space, are readily available, and don't really stand out in the house. It is easy to scoop up toys and toss them into the laundry hampers where they can be stored until it is time to play with them again.
2. Empty plastic containers around the house are a handy way to store little things such as crayons, stickers, playdoh, bits and pieces, art and craft supplies and more.
3. Don't toss out those big packing boxes your kids big sized toys come in. They can be easily dressed up in colorful wrapping paper and made into a handy toy storage bin for your kid's toys. This can be a fun craft project idea for your kids to do too, and they will enjoy storing their toys in something which they have made themselves.

Also you can take those mesh veggie bad, usually onions or potatoes come in them. Hang them on your tubs faucet and put the kids toys in them. That way they will be out the way and will dry and not get that nasty build up on them...

And this is why...I did what I did
I have been wondering what to blog about, and it hit me. FlyBaby Surprise! I started this group not thinking about how it was going to work out but I need motivation, and by god getting it. It's grown in just a few days of starting. I am so grateful and am so excited to have each member as a part of something I created...It's little words like the one's you will read below that will keep me FLYing...
Thanks to you all! From the bottom of my ♥!
Jordan Mains: I ♥ FlyBaby Surprise because the thing I struggle with the most is not knowing what to start on. I will sit for hours dreading the work that needs done and trying to figure out where the best place to begin would be, when really I should ju...st get up and start somewhere. And with FlyBaby Surprise I can come on here, get a list of things to do and get it done. And if I want to do more I can come back and get more ideas of what to do. Before I know it my house is clean and tidy! =)
Heather Nations: I like FlyBaby Surprise because I don't have to make any decisions and it feels quick! The posts are also easier to keep up with than they are in Bingo. I feel completely lost in the Bingo, but here each post is personalized so I don't have... to figure out which "group" I belong to and I can also just post anytime without feeling like I am behind! Also, the conversation is entertaining! :) (If you use my comment, can you link to my blog please? http://softreflections.wordpress.com/ ) Thanks! :D
Rogue Chick: I LOVE Flybaby suprise because I can give others advice and get advice when i need it, it motivates me and gives me a small manageable list to do instead of one job that doesn't take a whole 15 mins, its more convenient than bingo coz you have 3 tasks and no screen refresh lol xxx
Flybaby Joann: I like Flybaby surprise because I'm not sitting here in my chair ripping my hair out, "saying what do I do?" "Where do I start?" I have people giving me ideas, so I don't have to think of them on my own, which is good because being lazy I will take any excuse in the world to just not do anything. Lol!
Krista Bullock Hunter
I so enjoy this "reverse bingo" type of flying. I say reverse bingo because I don't have to think, I just have to follow orders!! And IF I don't like or wanna follow those certain orders I can just wait till I see something I like. This is gonna be awesome on those days where I don't have a lot of time at home or am wiped out from a hard day at work. I can just come in here and say "tell me what to do!!" Fabulous

FlyBaby Surprise Members, This is for you!
I just wanted to take the time to thank each and everyone of you for joining me in this adventure. I really didn't know how it would go at first, but WOW, I am FLYing again.
You have all made this possible for me and I love it! It's so simple and actually a very simple way to keep up with things I need to get done. I hope you are getting as much out of it as I am?
Keep up the good work and THANKS from the bottom of my heart♥!
I love to eat FROGS! You will too...
Wonder about frogs by CandyRougie
To eat frogs really frees me. They are like clutter in my brain. Marla says that we first have to get rid of our clutter then chores will be a piece of cake. To me it’s the same thing with frogs. They clutter my brain. I can’t think clearly with them. They are hidden but they are there and by time they grow and grow and grow. It’s a secret growing. Best is to eat them immediately by appearing when they are little. But too often I put them off.
It’s only 5 days ago I decided to start a new habit for me: Eating one frog a day
I got this idea on Wednesday because that’s our “Anti-Procrastinating-Day” and I always struggle with it. I just get overwhelmed. I simply put off too many things. Every Wednesday I thought this is the day… but… I did NOTHING. I thought I have to cut anti-procrastinating in smaller pieces. (The “Flaylady Way” like Marilyn says….lol) Presto my new habit was born and I started it on Thursday. Not a whole anti-procrastinating day for me but a small step every day. This works for me. Also I decided to public my new habit. Posting my frogs on the 40/50+ board makes me accountable. It’s a public commitment for me that leads me to really do my tasks. And who knows there might be others who like to join me.
We had some discussion on the name. Frog does not sound yummy. There was the idea of calling it a hot fudge sundae instead of. But this name might be tricky because of weight issues. We all know that gaining weight is easy for us 40/50+. And actually frog is a good name BECAUSE it is ugly. Frogs are things we DON’T like and therefore we put them off. Well, I do. It’s more like taking a bitter medicine I hesitate to take although I know that afterwards I will feel better.
So today is frog day #5 (just 5!) and guess what happened to me? My frogs are nearly gone. I feel so GOOD. Paperwork is done and lots of others. It’s a miracle. I begin to love to eat frogs. I even become the lady of the frogs!

FLYbaby Surprise
I find it hard for myself to get motivated at times and thought it would be fun for other fly ladies to give other flybabies 3 things to do. I know we already have the Bingo's, and other games that we can play but I thought by letting you help others with a "surprise list" would be a fun way to get things done....
Here's how it works.....
When I first started FLYing I started playing the Bingo games and it was fun, for a while. I just got wore out at times and my anxiety kicked in, cause it was a time thing....don't get me wrong it works but I just realized it's not for me all the time. So, I thought it would be interesting to have other FLYgals to help me make a list or suggestions that I could work on at my own pace. I hope you can use this simple step too. So, if you feel you need a start for the day just come here and ask for a "surprise list" and see what other suggest you to do.....use them all or pick the ones you feel most interested in doing....If you have any questions or need to vent from time to time, go for it! We all need to let it out...Thanks

Our Beautiful Satilla River

It's Time For The Family to Get On Board!
I just added a post on the FlyLady page on facebook. "I went to bed with a shiny sink, and be darn'd if it wasn't a mess when I got up" I asked for suggestions on how to handle this situation.
If anything it's these little things that causes me to throw my hands in the air and just quit! I know this is not the answer. So, from the advise that a FLYfriend suggested I thought I would share so maybe it will also help another FLYbaby.
Here's is her fix....
" I always find out who caused the mess and make them clean it up. Being persistent with the kitchen rules help. Even if the offender is still asleep in bed, I make him/her get up and clean it up! My dh is not immune to this either! Also, if no one is willing to "fess up, I issue a blanket punishment for all three of my kids. So far they have done their part in keeping the house tidy. They've learned that a clean house = happy mama!"
At this point I am will to try anything to get my family on board. I know there are more of you ladies that want to be a "Happy Mama". So for any of you FLYbabies that have other suggestion, PLEASE share...
Thanks, Mary Harper for your advise!

It sounds so easy and it is, but why do I have a problem with these simple litte thing to get me motivated? I am taking a pledge and hope you will join me. If you are willing to take back what the flyLady is willing to give us for FREE then take the pledge with me. Comment if you are in...
Thanks, FlyFriends and let's start fLYing again...

I am Struggling to FLY!
Well peeps, I have not done a dang thing today. Well, I do take that back. I managed to paint a craft project. Does that count as FLYing? I sure hope so. I have also kept my sink shinning, but I have come to realizing that, that's about a every 20 minute job. I have a house full of people and they have to get on board with this FlyLady way.
My question is how? Do any of you have any suggestions on how to get the house hold involved? There are 7 people that are living in my home right now...I can't seem to keep anything clean and just the mere fact of cleaning or FLYing is not appealing to me at all. I get so discourage! It's driving me nuts. I also struggle with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and just made a visit to the hospital the night I wrote my last blog. So needless to say I hardly done anything. I did have a few things on my TADA's and YES, I felt great but today is a different story.
I plan after writting this to do a "Triple Dog Dare". For those of you that doesn't know what that is, it's a way to get things done instead of playing the FLYlady Bingos's...it's easier and not on a time limit...Got the idea from another FLYgal. What you do is make a list of 3 things you need to do and do them...It's that easy...So here i go...
Any suggestions you have to help encourage other. PLEASE share in the comment section here....you never know how many you will help just by sharing your own struggles.
Til Then my FlyFriends!

Giving Back What She Has Given Me
When I first starting using The FLYladies way, I was loving myself more and more everyday. I loved the way my house looked, I loved the way it made me feel. I slowly but surely fell of the band wagon and here I am again feeling overwelmed with CHAOS!
It's so easy to to get caught up in everyday life issues, and before I knew it my house was getting the best of me again. I knew I had to do something. Then I just so happened to check my Facebook page and there it was, the Youtube video. It brought tears to my eyes to see how dedicated The FlYlady is, and how she has helped so may other's for free. I then made my mind up. I will learn to FLY again and will use the baby Steps one by one.
So, Thank you FLYlady for your encouragement and your FREE time to help me realize that house keeping is not just a chore, it's a way to help me see that The "FLY" in me deserves it.....
