Zone 3: Mission #3 Wednesday
Dear Friends:
It is Anti-procrastination Day! It is time to take a look into the
medicine cabinets and toss the empty bottles and boxes that are
taking up space. While you are doing this also take a look at the
expiration dates on the medicines that are there. If you have some
that need to be gotten rid of take care of that as well. Grab a damp
rag and wipe down the shelves. Don't take everything out, just lift,
wipe and put back.
For the kids room - Throw open the sock drawer and start flinging!
I don't know what it is about the socks but they lose their mates and
for some strange reason there always seem to be socks in the drawers
that are too small!! There could be socks that your child never wears
because they don't like them. Fling them! Have your child help
you if they are old enough or have them do it themselves. I did this
not too long ago with my son and was floored to see a pair of soccer
socks still in the drawer when he hasn't played in 4 years!! He was
a youth size 6 and now wears a men's size 12! Toss the socks!
No kids? Do a Hot spot Fire Drill in the room of your choice!
Love,
Kelly

Zone 3: Mission #4 Thursday
Dear Friends:
The bathroom sink is calling you! Let's shine our bathroom sinks and
countertops. Scrub the sink and the faucets, wipe down with Windex
(remember to be careful that you are not mixing Windex with any
bleach products, make sure you rinse very well before using the
Windex). Take time to wipe down your counter tops and give them a
shine as well.
For the kids room - get a damp cloth and wipe off the fingerprints
from the light switch plates, door and door knobs. If your child is
old enough show them how to do this and let them! It does not have to
be perfect. Remember if you make cleaning something negative they will
always think of cleaning up as something terrible and that they never
did it right!
No Kids? Pick a room of your choice and do one more Hot
Spot fire drill. Get in there and put out the heat!
Love,
Kelly

Zone 3: Mission #5 Friday
Dear Friends:
We are in the last day of Zone Three!! Your mission in the bathroom
is to mop the floor. Now, you can do this with some hot soapy water
and a rag or mop. There is no perfect way to mop. Just get the floor
wet, wipe it and dry it!
For the kids room - Do or teach the Hot Spot Fire Drill!! Look
in your children's room and find the one spot that seems to be the
dumping area. This could be the desk, night stand or top of the
dresser. Once again use this as a teaching moment - not a battle! Have
patience and keep in mind that they can't read your mind!
No Kids? Pick a room of your choice and head in for
another 27 boogie! Grab the bag and dash through the room tossing 27
items that can go far away from your house! Get the "stuff" that is
taking up space out of there!
Love,
Kelly

) so I ended up not doing anything in the current zone today.
but I didn't have that to look back on, so I appreciate you copying it here.
It was mostly just a swish and swipe (with a lttle extra elbow grease thrown in for good measure). He thanked me when he got home 
when he noticed that it looked and smelled clean. 
and three cats 
and I am amazed at how much fur they shed. I'm constantly cleaning pet hair - yeesh! It will be nice to get the floor to sparkle.
