Family Logistics, Week 4

Last week I made three goals for myself (go here to see last weeks goals).  If I were to look at only what I accomplished last week, I would have to say that I failed pretty good, however I don’t feel like I failed at all. 

I am still struggling with a working morning routine, it seems that there is something that comes up every morning, an appointment, a ornery baby or a late night and tired mommy.  So for my morning routine, I am going to make a list of things I would like done by noon, and work on that as opposed to  a strict timed schedule. 

As for my weekly schedule, I am loving that, I feel like I am getting so much done every week.

I have been pondering and praying over my sleeping schedule and that has led me to studying more about food and diet, specifically what the scriptures have said on the subject.  This is still a work in progress, something I am really enjoying.  As for my sleeping habits, I do need to get to bed earlier, but I need to not feel guilty for napping when I need to as well.  I am nursing a baby full time and that takes more energy than normal, and although baby is sleeping through the night, with six kids there is a pretty good chance that at some point in the night my sleep will be interrupted.  Napping is necessary at times, especially at this time in my life.

So for this coming week I am going to set three more goals to work on. 

1. Continue to work my weekly schedule, especially work on my family budget and get our finances in order.

2. Study the scripture in regards to health and nutrition, pray, make a plan.

3. Make a list of chores to be done before noon, prioritise this list, do what needs to be done first so there is some flexiblity. Work my list everyday.

Wish me luck! 🙂
