I keep thinking - "Ok, today I'll start blogging regularly"

I can't seem to keep too many things regular in my life.

Consistent Bible reading, meal prep, getting up early, homeschooling, cleaning, blogging, reading...

I am determined to keep looking at the bright side.

One thing I have found helpful in the past was to keep a check list of things I DID do during the day, instead of a list of things I DIDN'T do. For some reason that worked for my and I might have to try that again. It just gave me positive boost and took away some guilt that I always carry around.

So what good things have already been happening today? (it's only 9:55 and there are already quite a few)

I got up at 5:30

I had some quiet prayer time and read and studied my Bible till 6.

I put a load of laundry in the wash.

I made porridge for myself and the boys(still sleeping at this point)

I was going to shower, but hubby needed the hot water for his shower and we weren't able to spend anytime together before he got up. Solution: Shower WITH hubby. (Multi tasking ;)

Boys got up, nursed #2.

Said our goodbyes to dadda.

Ate breakfast.

Talked to my mom.

Phoned around for a friend to babysit on Monday (Cleaning Contract: Big mid-reno cleaning of a house)

Took care of a couple in between tasks, such as helping my son on the potty (little things do take time)

Now I'm here typing.

I feel pretty good about my day thus far :D

For some this may be the norm, nooooot for me.

My days ARE so much better when I start them earlier. I had for a while been trying to get up at 6am. Over and over I would be up nursing at around 5-5:30 and then would try to get back to sleep till my alarm went off... what a mistake that was. I was setting myself up for failure. Even when I don't nusre, I usually have a slight wake up time at around 5:30 and I should have been taking advantage of it. But instead I had been trying to get in as much sleep as possible by sleeping in This would put me into a new sleep cycle and I would wake up with my alarm groggy and really not alert and often behind on my schedule.

This morning I feel great!

What GOOD things HAVE you done today. I'm sure you could find a lot of things that didn't get done, but I don't want to hear about those!!

Share the good stuff with us!!
