Me(11:25:14 AM): I know that you have become overwhelmed by your home and the chaos that you have been living in. Keep in mind that your home did not get this way overnight and it is not going to get clean in a day. We are going to teach you how to take BabySteps and establish little routines for getting rid of your clutter and maintaining your home. This system will work for anyone; it doesn’t matter if you work outside of your home, stay home with children, retired or work at home. You can do this.
The voices that you hear in your head keep telling you that you are behind and you have to get it all done now! We are going to quiet those negative voices that are beating you up constantly and replace them with a loving gentle voice that tells you that you are not behind and you can do this one BabyStep at a time!

Me(11:25:35 AM): Your very first BabyStep is to go shine your sink. Don’t listen to those voices that tell you that is not going to help your messy house. This is exactly where I started and this little habit has changed my life! Take this BabyStep in faith and go do it. Here are the directions for shining your kitchen sink.

Day 1

GO SHINE YOUR SINK.

Husband (11:26:10 AM): Fine

Me(11:26:08 AM): After you do this; you will keep it shiny by drying it out after each time you use it and making sure when you go to bed that it is shining so it will make you smile in the morning.

Husband (11:26:14 AM): I will do that

Me(11:26:41 AM): You don't have to do the dishes or anything. You can put the dishes on the floor. Just shine your sink.

Me(11:27:02 AM): And then keep it shiny by drying it out after each time you use it and making sure when you go to bed that it is shining

Me(11:27:07 AM): Ok.

Me(11:27:17 AM): So there you go. That is all we have to do today.
