Day 6: It is almost Friday!

Some things are getting easier and somethings are getting harder.  It is harder to get up.  It is easier to get the kids out the door.

So, I guess it takes about 3 days of school and work to get me back into a bedtime routine!!  I am such a night owl.  I get my energy at night, even when I am tired I catch a second wind about 10:00 when I should be going to bed.  I have been that way for as long as I can remember.  The daily grind has caught up with me and I am starting to go to bed a little earlier.

We have been doing very good on the routines.  Morning routine is going better than the nightly routine.  I do better if I do my nightly routine earlier in the afternoon.  I get energy at night but I do fun things like facebook, blog, read blogs, surf the web...you know...what I want to do.

Oh, I went to Target this afternoon to fill a prescription.  I know this was going to be hard.  I looked around and picked up some groceries.  The prescription took longer than expected so I had to leave and pick up Carrie Beth and Kaity from Brownies.  The little girls went back to Target with me.  On the way I told them if they would walk fast and stay with me that I would buy them a small treat.  I was thinking candy/gum when I said it.  When Kaity asked if she could shop in the Dollar Spot I said sure.  WHAT?  I CAN'T DO THAT!!  I just told my friends daughter that I would buy her something from the Dollar Spot at Target.  I did not have the heart to go back on my word.  So, I made it to day 6 before I bought something new.  I did talk Carrie Beth into a candy bar...I am not sure that is the goal of this project but anyway that is what happened.  It is kind of funny.  I am still going to continue to not buy new items I just had a momentary lapse of reason!  HA!!

Small success:
  • Laundry is going well 1 or 2 loads per day is what it takes
  • We did not eat fast food this week.
  • Mornings are smoother but kids are still SLOW!
  • The house is in pretty good shape.
I need to spend 15 minutes getting the backpacks ready (read we did not do our afternoon routine) and then I think I will be in good shape for tomorrow.

Love, Nicole
