FOOD: March 16th-22nd

Mar. 16th: Woo!! Hoo!!! Last night at about 9pm, I remembered my new goals for the next few weeks.

Trouble is, I had spent the time between about 7-9 bottling, diapering & tucking in kids. Natty is still rather difficult sometimes to get to sleep.

I did real battle in my mind about whether or not I could still eat-& have a good excuse. But, I couldn't come up w/ the good excuse, so.........

I DIDN'T EAT!!!!

Yeah!
I'm giving myself a round of applause for that one!



Mar. 17th: Man, is it harder to not eat past 7:30pm when you have company! We sat down to eat at 7pm, & had dessert after the kids went to bed.

Mar. 18th: Went out to eat at 7:30........so, there you go!

Mar. 19th: Forgot about new rules, since things were a bit CRAZY at my house yesterday.

Mar. 20th: Ditto

Mar. 21st: Ditto

Mar. 22nd: Remembered the rules!!!! At 7:11 last night, & I had started to cook myself some food, which wasn't done until 7:45......but I ate until I wasn't hungry, put the food away & didn't eat anymore!

MONEY: March 16th-22nd

Mar. 16th: I figured out an easy way to not spend more money than I should. Send Dave to the store....although he sometimes comes home w/ things I wouldn't-like a huge tub of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
We just joined the new COSTCO by our house-so this tub is HUGE!!!

Mar. 17th: Forgot completely about the list.

Mar. 18th: Did pretty much stick to the list, although when I realised the babies were ccoperating, & went & picked out a few Spring/Summer clothes for Ruth, which she really needed.

Mar. 19th: Didn't shop. At all!! :-)

Mar. 20th: Ditto

Mar. 21st: Ditto

Mar. 22nd: Grocery shopped & mostly stuck to the list......so, doing better in this area, I think.

TIME: March 16th-22nd

Mar. 16th: Did not make my goal tonight. 1 AM. But, we thought Dave was leaving for the airport at 5 am-due to the snow.
Turns out his flight was cancelled.
I can't go to bed while he's packing though. Sweet guy TAKES OVER the whole room!!


Mar. 17th: Did not do too well today. Did not get to bed......also, didn't plan the schedule at all. Having too much fun w/ my sister & her hubby-who are here house hunting (& meeting Little Boy) YEAH!!!!!


Mar. 18th: Same today-except that we lived in the car, too, basically because I still am not organized w/ 3 kiddos!

Mar. 19th: Was up way too late.........ended up w/ other company besides my sis & brother in law.....that didn't leave until 11:45. We had a GREAT time, though.

Mar. 20th: Up too late again.....

Mar.21st: Trying to get Little Man on a schedule at night is rather hard. He is very unpredictable.

Mar. 22nd: He fought me going to bed, meaning that I did not make it to sleep until after 11pm.
