I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
It was a pretty good day. My doctor prescribed a drug called Provigil. It's commonly used for excessive sleepiness caused by narcolepsy and other sleep disorders. I've already noticed a difference and am excited to see how it works first thing in the morning. Maybe now I can even drive in the morning. That was getting scary. Know what's weird? I don't know if it's because I was busier or what, but I've had very little appetite today and NO sweets cravings. I wish you could know how significant that is!
So I got up early and got to the doctor's office 13 minutes early. Also significant. Got my prescription and took it in the car after going through the Wendy's drive through (I didn't say it was a perfect day!). Normally, I would have come home and taken a nap, exhausted from getting up and out early, BUT I DIDN'T. I did, however, do a LOT of laundry! (Seriously, how can 6 people produce THIS MUCH laundry?!) I purged Earnie's closet of too-small clothes, snuggled with Violet while playing the "I Love You More Than ____" game--at her request, worked on getting materials ready for a class I'm teaching tomorrow (Anne of Green Gables lit study at the Farmersville mini-co-op), met Daniel in McKinney and shopped at Sam's and Target. We didn't go out to eat, either. After unpacking and putting everything away, I had a Chobani and a banana. :)
I'm also excited that I got the form I need to fill out to get the ball rolling on becoming a volunteer at the clinic. I didn't have a chance today to sign up for Weight Watcher's, but I did get their most current cookbook in from Amazon and it looks great!
Earnie's going to wake up any minute, so I need to wind this puppy up:
- Get out of bed and get dressed to shoes by 9:AM each day and make sure that the kids do the same.
- Yeah, baby!
- Drink a minimum of 8 glasses a water a day.
- Only 3.
- Take a multi-vitamin daily.
- Yeah, baby!
- Make better, much healthier eating choices for myself and my family.
- A little better.
- Lose two pounds a week.
- Got weighed at the doctor's office and it was 10 pounds less than I thought it would be. Does that count? ;)
- Walk a minimum of one mile each day.
- I did some power walking through Sam's and Target tonight. Does that count?
- Cook dinner 5 days a week.
- Technically did not cook, but Matilda made pancakes while Daniel and I were out. It counts in that we didn't go out for dinner, which is the desired outcome.
- Read from the bible to the kids daily.
- I wasn't here and I didn't think to do it before I left.
- Pray alone and with the kids daily.
- Not yet and not with kids. :( I really do want to become really consistent with this.
- Spend a minimum of 15 minutes a day working on any part of the house.
- Purged Earnie's clothes of things he's outgrown.
- Volunteer as a client advocate at the Christian pregnancy crisis center in Greenville.
- Got the forms and will put them in the mail tomorrow!
- I will seek out the joy and contentment that is always in my life, but that I can't always see...AND
- when I'm feeling just regular, I'll smile just for fun.
- Done!
Gotta shut some dogs up. Keep looking up!
