Mollie's last CI 2am
I did my evening routine (having fallen asleep watching TV around 10pm and then woken up at 1:30am). I'd wanted to do some more work earlier in the evening, but knew it was pretty unrealistic. I did just prepare my to do list for tomorrow.

Today I'm thankful that: R is really joining in some of the new routines I've set up to keep up with the cleaning etc. without my asking him to. He even liked the food guide chart he made for me so much that he made one for himself too.
Good night.
Monica's FCI - 11:15 pm EST
I'm only listing the few tadas I had today. I didn't do much past these few items listed.
Good night everyone
Tada:
[x] Wake at 5:00 am
[x] Search for & print documents for last 2 months
[x] Update virus software
[x] Install new spy-ware removal software
[x] Remove unwanted files, viruses, and spy-ware from PC
[x] Wash, comb, blow dry & braid preteen daughter's hair
If I can't do it perfectly, I'll do it anyway. If I can't do it all, I'll do some. If I do nothing, nothing gets done.
"I don't feel like it" is a poor sacrifice for your dreams.
pro's last check-in - 11pm
I'm ready for bed - even took my pills.

forgot AGAIN
I again forgot to take my pills today. I'm getting pretty consistently bad about this. I have to get back on the beam.
I took one dose in the morning, and I don't want to take more now, right before bed, because then I'll have to get up in the night. :(

pro's CI - 8:50pm
I'm back from my out-of-town day trip. My interviews went well. It looks like I'll probably get this job. Well, maybe I shouldn't say that - I'll jinx it.
I'm emotional burnt. About all I have energy to do now is zone out then go to bed. My main task for this evening is to get to bed early - not procrastinate on my bedtime routine.

DoItNow CI 05:46pm PST
Action Bud Check-In/Check-out
Hi All,
Afraid it won't continue.
Had a pretty productive day, gratefully!!
Monday morning TO DO:
Get up at 7:00 AM
Do laundry.
Do 1/2 hour workout tape.
Hopefully get to work by 9:00 AM
Did it all!!
AAAH, she's looks drunk!!
Up at 7:00 AM
Do extensive beauty routine.
Walk Munchkin.
Either do 10/15 minute workout or yoga tape.
Be in the City by 10:30 AM
Do work that I'm not being paid for at home.
Take Munchkin for a long walk in a new neighborhood.
Really clean kitchen, possibly including oven.
Empty out living room drawers to make more room, possibly.
I need another job, got to get another job!!
Dilemna: it's hard for me to do an aerobic workout (and this is a short, light tape) so early in the a.m. I have my yoga tape, which is perfect, but I don't want to be tied down to that one, and it's long. If I leave my workout until later on, I get anxious and spend the whole day worrying if I will do it. We really need to get a DVD player, but don't have funds.
Tuesdays TO DO:
Pro, how was your interview?
Have a blessed day tomorrow you all!
BUD♥

Mollie's CI 6:25pm
So, I finished my morning routine, prepared a mailing that had to go out today, and got myself to a cafe. So worth it! I have found, almost invariably, that if I try to write at a cafe, I get something done & I do not procrastinate. I may not be wildly efficient, but I actually *do* work and accomplish much more than the average day when I stay in my home office. I also ran a couple errands & went for a physical therapy appt (last one for a minor injury). Feeling pleased with myself. :-)
DoItNow CI 03:10pm PST
My plans for the remainder of this day:

pro's first check-in - 5:50am
My alarm was set for 6am, but I woke up at 5:30am. I have an interview out-of-town today. It's the same place I've been interviewing. This (interview #5) is the last one. They'll make a decision after this. I don't feel nervous right now, but I'm sure I will once I get there.
I'll be offline all day.

Monica's CI - 5:20 am EST
Good morning. I didn't set my alarm last night. I was so tired yesterday, I fell asleep early. In my groggy state of mind, I talked myself out of setting the alarm, not remembering I needed to for consistency's sake. But I have good news. I woke up at 5 am anyway. It seems my internal clock has finally made the change to 5 am. I'm delighted about the change, but, I'll still continue to set the alarm each morning. I want to continue to reinforce the new habit.
Morning Routine:
[x] Wake at 5:00 am
[] Shower
[] Scrub shower wall
[] Oral care
[] Facial
[] Pedi-care
[] Dress to shoes
[] Devotional time
[] Make bed
[] Wipe down MBR vanity
[] Scrub kids’ tub
[] Reboot laundry
[] Search for & print documents for last 2 months
If I can't do it perfectly, I'll do it anyway. If I can't do it all, I'll do some. If I do nothing, nothing gets done.
