…but then I end up finding a good portion of them so all is well. I found these at Hopscotch, a cool toy store in McMinnville.
Despite the fact that I’ve not been very good at updating this blog, there has been progress that I am very pleased with. Let’s get on with me tooting my own horn, shall we?
First of all, I finally got up the gumption to deal with all the boxes of books and piles of books and piles of papers and pockets of miscellany tucked here and there. Now when my guests walk into my home there are not boxes and piles, their eyes can rest easy. I didn’t think I had enough shelves for all the books, but with a little decluttering and compromising everything fits just fine. I do have 2 boxes left that are past/future homeschool materials.
[I need to get on the ball and plan homeschool for January! Augh! Breath...deep breath...okay, and again]
I have been doing a pretty good job keeping up on the daily household cleaning. Although, at the moment I do have sinkful of dishes and over flowing laundry baskets. I plan on today being a housecleaning day. Not fun, but much needed.
I have a goal to be in bed by 11 pm on Sunday-Thursday and to get up by 5:30 am on Monday-Friday. Today I will be working on formulating a routine for myself. I have an assignment to figure out exactly what it is I want to work on right now to move toward becoming the woman I want to be. I chose my weight to be the first thing, but in order for me to lose weight I’ll have to be disciplined. After spending some time writing in my journal about this subject it came down to the point that it ALL hinges on my relationship with Jesus. So much change is needed and desired in my life. In order to move toward this change I need a plan. Yes, the Lord changes people, but I don’t think lying in bed all day is very conducive to this change. (Yes, I still find myself lying in bed when I get scared and overwhelmed.) My conclusion comes down to routine, just as it does every time. Getting out of bed the same day every morning, getting in tight with Jesus, armoring up in my battle gear, and face the day. I think I may need to make sure my armor is on all the time. I think it will make opening my eyes and rolling out of bed much easier.
I will try to post my routine schedule by Monday.
