KICKOFF - Daily Report 10-07-2019

It's October, fall, 2019. How is that possible?! I feel like I'm loosing time and I'm struggling to focus. The lack of focus and normal motherhood-induced struggles in memory has me feeling like I'm loosing time. I wake up, accomplish daily tasks, fall in bed at the end of the day, and can't tell if I'm getting any closer to goals or any better at my habits.

So here is the outset of some daily reports. 

Will they be interesting to read? Who knows? But I know just the act of reporting what's happening in my day and with my goals should help me see progress more clearly. I'm hopeful it will also, even in a small measure, allow me to grab on to some time so it stops zooming so swiftly past out of my memory.

Today, being Grocery shopping day, is naturally a low production day for me. But it started well.

Actually it started well last night, when I went to bed AND TO SLEEP by about 10 PM. I'm a natural night owl, so it's a daily struggle to get in bed when I should for the time that I have to be up each day. So having all lights and electronics off before 10 means that when I got up just before 6 this morning, I wasn't tempted to fall back asleep.

I am dreadfully "behind" on my cover to cover reading of the Bible for this year. The way I have it set up, my readings are scheduled for Mon-Fri so I am able to slowly catch up, little by little, if I just read everyday including the weekends for a couple months. So this morning I read/listened to my next day's passage while eating my breakfast.

A snippet of history for you, menu planning, grocery list making, and grocery shopping has literally caused me to have panic attacks/anxiety attacks in the past. That bit means that I had a win today, I made my menu plan and grocery list without freaking out. The shopping process was a different story, but that was mostly out of my control. 

I have Alexi emptying the dishwasher right now as I bath the younger two. So I should set to fill the dishwasher and close up the kitchen before the kids are in bed. (and I did as you'll see below, complete with a shiny sink - as the FlyLady tells me to)

Those are pretty much the wins from my day
