My Idea For This Blog

To set goals for myself that others can see & encourage me along the way.

Ok.....new for 2009-

I have decided that it is too hard for me in my life right now the way it was set up for last year.

The Lord has laid it on my heart that I must choose to ACT loving.......& part of that is being moderate in my choices.

So each day, I will record how I chose moderation, motivated by my love for God or my love for others. Also, I will choose loving actions & (mostly, I need to demostrate it in the area of MODERATION) because of God's love for me!

Thank-you to each & every one of you who will support & pray for me in this endeavor!

TIME: June 22-28

June 22: Went to bed too late.....trying to plan our Monday, & made the mistake of picking up a book after that.......

June 23: Turned out the lights before 10pm.....& decided that Natty doesn't need to have his 4:30am bottle anymore. He has been hard to wake up each morning for it......so, I guess he can wait another couple of hours. (which will give me another 1/2 hour of sleep each morning!!! YEAH!!! Alarm Clock 2)

June 24: Turned out the light way too late, but we had a bit of excitement around our house last night-see my other blog for details. Took a while to calm down from that incident!

June 25: In bed by 10.

June 26: Way too late, but had dinner with family, & didn't get kids in bed until almost 10! (& me later than that!)

June 27: Up late-watched a movie with my hubby!

June 28: Ditto



MONEY: June 22-28

June 22: Did ok. Did stop by the grocery on the way home from church last night, & went in w/ out a list, but bought some healthy snacks for myself.

June 23: Didn't shop.

June 24: Bought a chore planner online, which I am super excited about!

June 25: Not sure.

June 26: Birthday shopping for the Birthday girl!!!! (Ruthie)

June 27: Spent $ on food for Ruth's b-day. Played at the movie theater fountains for a b-day activity, which was free!!!!

June 28: Spent money on a "welcome to the family" adoption party for a friend of ours (a 12 year old girl) which was SUPER fun! We love you, Mattie!

FOOD: June 22-28

June 22: Have done ok, although not eating past 7:30 has been a bit of a challenge, due to the craziness of life right now! Bought a 3 mo journal at Weight Watchers so I can begin that again, now that life life has settled down just a bit......yes, I know I just said things were crazy & calm-in the same paragraph, but I'm sure some of you understand that, huh?!?!? (laugh)

June 23: Didn't eat after 7:30. Went for a hike & caried one of the babies all the way, so I was starving!! Hiker
Didn't write down accurately what I ate, although I tried. Gave up about half-way through the afternoon, since I was just grazing.....& exhausted!

June 24: Didn't eat past 7:30, but.....was hungry. Journalling started out ok, but then went by the wayside later in the day.

June 25: Ditto

June 26: Don't know much of what I did. Too busy to journal.....but tried to do OK.

June 27: Too busy to journal. Too busy to eat, until the end of the day! Happy birthday, Ruth!!! Birthday Gifts

June 28: The day got away from me before I realised what had happened!
