FlyLady.com

I was briefly mentioning to a friend that I was trying to get a handle on meal planning as I am trying to stay within a certain budget for food each month. She said "Oh check out FlyLady.com". So I did. Pretty interesting!
After working for eight years, it's really be wierd to be home all day even though I've now got a 13month old running (literally) around. I still haven't gotten a hold on a schedule for myself though I've got the critter on one. I keep thinking that it should be pretty easy as I used to manage projects that were of a fairly large scope. I couldn't figure out how often I should do stuff or sometimes even how. I would call my mom and ask her how often she would do something or talk to my mother in-law. But their advice, though helpful was still not as directive as I would like. This FlyLady thing actually emails me with a list of things to do each day! LOL! So far, so good and I figure that once I get through the cycle, I can fly solo. Its a silly issue to have, but no one actually teaches you how to LIVE your life. You go to school for years to be able to get a job but then you come home and there's all this stuff to do! How often are you supposed to clean the bathroom or change the sheets, etc. You do it, but am I doing it as often as you should? Is there a rule about this? So, I figure I'll try out the FlyLady thing and see how it goes. It seems like it would actually be good for any Beta that is living on their own for the first time as well as the "typical" SAHM/WAHM.
