Journal Entry 1 by brideofmessiah from Hillsboro, Missouri USA on Wednesday, July 09, 2003

It's been a long time since I've read this, but it can't compare to FlyLady!

From the back of the book: "This book is for you if:
Your ten-year-old son disappeared while attempting to clean the basement
You never answer the phone because you can't find it
Your dog prefers sleeping in the dog house, but has to beaat out the family

Excuse - A perfectly reasonable explanation for the fact that your husband can't find the monthly bills...or the checkbook...or one pen that hasn't gone dry because someone left the top off for two weeks

Six places to look for you favorite blue sweater:
1. In the clean-clothes basket (it hasn't been sorted for at least two weeks)
2. In the dirty-clothes hamper (you never quite get down to the clothes at the bottom)
3. In the suitcase you used at Christmas (and planned to unpack before your vacation in July)
4. On your closet floor - under the rain poncho, two jackets, and a warm-up suit (who pick them up - they'll fall again anyway)
5. On your daughter (it's her favorite, too)
6. Neatly folded in your drawer (how did it get there?)

The guide that helps you find:
The argyle sock that you thought the washing machine ate
Love letters
Your son's college address
The 1/2 proce Christmas wrap you bought two years ago
The back porch
The response card to your niece's wedding
Your tennis racket
Airplane tickets
Peace of mind when unexpected visitors come"
