25!!! I went to Bible study and returned home to a clean house--including the dishes being caught up! What a blessing from the girls and Jon! I feel like I have a fresh, clean slate to work with on this whole discipline thing--in regards to the house keeping part of it!

Day 24. It's hard to believe that I am only 6 posts away from 30 days! It is not turning out the way I wanted it too--but it is helping me to move forward in my quest to become a disciplined person.

PINK!

Anyway, I am getting close to my 30th day!!!! It's getting harder and harder to keep doing it--but mostly because my brain is so fried from work and home by the time I get to posting--that I don't have much to say about discipline. Hopefully I will be able to take some time this weekend and articulate some thoughts on becoming a disciplined person. Good night.

Well, well, well I forgot again!!! I will blame this on the Vickings big loss! SO sad....maybe if I didn't save the post for the last, I would not for get! (my husbands advice:)) Okay--so I will try to fit posting in (for these last few days) maybe right after work or right after dinner. AND. I would like to discuss a few things on discipline--it just seems like by the time I get to my post--I'm rushed to either go to bed--or go back to work or go to something....

BTW-I do not have time today to work out--because I have presentations all day at a school--BUT I am eating a BIG salad for lunch:) Every step toward healthy limits makes a difference!

We (or I) need a good quote:

"Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find FAVOR and GOOD SUCCESS in the sight of God and man." Proverbs 3:3-4

Oh my gosh!! I TOTALLY forgot to post yesterday! One thing I can say, I didn't purposely forget. I was distracted with it being Friday night. So, this is post 21, right? Yes. Now, my last post will be February 1st (as long as I don't forget again!

Last week was crazy! I new it would be. I DID follow through with my commitment to spend time everyday reading my Bible, but I did miss a couple of days of the journaling, because of days that I had to be out the door sooner than normal.

Tomorrow the Vikings (MN) are in the championship game to get into the Super Bowl! I hope I remember to post!

Life has been crazy busy, but I'm doing good with discipline--I just have to keep going and have or take time to process through some things--when I get some time.

GOOOOOOOO VIKINGS!!!!!!!!!!

I have been realizing that working full time and having three kids and a husband and a house is a recipe for an ever changing dynamic. The kind of structure that I've been saying I need is not really realistic with these kinds of dynamics. Discipline IS possible-but an unchanging, daily routine is not realistic because there are too many things that are out of my control--that cause me to have to change the structure almost daily. As I have been changing things (rolling with the punches) I have been feeling guilty for not being "disciplined" enough--but the truth is that I have been working my BUTT off everyday and sticking to the structure as much as I can--the whole HEART of the commitment to become a disciplined person is a constant, it's just the details that get rearranged. More figuring this all out to come...I'm still thinking it through.

One thing that has happened everyday is my commitment to post everyday for 30 days!!!! I am BECOMING more and more each day--even if the actual "plan" is re-arranged on a regular basis. If non of this make sense to you, that'sokay--I'm just barely making sense of it myself.....

POST 19!!!!
