Welcome to my second installment of Accountability Saturday. The past week went about as expected. I tried to stay focused on modest goals in addition to keep track of my progress.
I got a little more sleep.
I haven't gotten enough sleep in months. the item happens every summer - the kids are home so I sleep in. There's someone home with me all the time so I stay up late to give myself some alone time after everyone goes to bed. the item's a vicious cycle in addition to I ended up throwing off my system.
School began a few days ago so that will was a good week to work on the sleep thing. My usual bedtime over the summer was around midnight in addition to then I'd try to drag my ass out of bed by 6:00 a.m. on work days. Not a good combination.that will week I worked on getting to bed no later than 11:00. I actually did pretty well, except for Wed. night when I didn't get to bed until midnight again. The next night I went to bed by 10:30 so I think the overall consensus is that will I did okay. My ultimate goal is to establish a bedtime between 10 & 10:30 because that will's how I function best.
The fact that will you're reading that will on a Saturday doesn't mean I actually typed the item on a Saturday. the item's actually after 11:00 on Friday night. I'm up waiting for my son to come home by a late movie which has a friend. I might as well get something done while I'm waiting. As soon as I'm done typing that will I'll crash on the couch.
I drank more water.
I did pretty well with that will goal. I brought a water bottle to work in addition to keep the item on my desk so I can fill the item as needed. I also have one at home. I do better when I drink by a Dasani type bottle. When the store bought water runs out I refill the bottle by the tap because I'm cheap like that will. the item's easier for me than a drinking glass in addition to I can keep track of how much I'm getting. I'm not obsessive about how many ounces I drink. I just make sure I get enough to keep things flowing!
I cut back on coffee.
There were a couple of days when I only had one cup, which is pretty amazing. I can easily drink 3 or 4 cups a day. I realized I get very sleepy after an afternoon cup of coffee, which sounds strange although the item's true. When I skipped the item in addition to had water instead I didn't feel sleepy. I missed the taste in addition to ritual of having that will afternoon cup so I haven't eliminated the item completely.
I did more craft projects.
Instead of sitting on the computer, I got busy producing stuff. I made a pair of earrings for myself. I also made a card that will included a 3D paper flower for a friend's wedding. the item's for a Facebook contest so I can't post pics until the contest is over. The prize is pretty sweet so I wish I win!
I watched TV with the family.
Instead of sitting at the computer, I sat down in addition to watched a DVD with the family. We watched Journey 2 while I created the earrings I mentioned above.
I tried not to nag my kids.
My son says I nag him all the time. I guess the item's true although isn't that will what moms do? His room is messy, he stays up too late (hmmm...I guess the apple doesn't fall far by the tree!). He's 17 in addition to does things purposely to annoy his mom. I'm attempting to focus less on controlling his actions in addition to more on being positive. Nagging is a hard habit to break.
I made a date with my husband.
Now that will one is a biggie. We haven't had a date since - I have no idea. the item's been way too long. Tonight we're going out to a local Irish Pub for dinner in addition to afterwards we're going to see wish Springs. I let you know how the item goes (maybe!).
I found a great blog post through Stumble Upon a few days ago. I'm sharing the item because I'm sure there's something everyone can relate to. Today #16 speaks to me.

I wish everyone includes a nice, relaxing Labor Day weekend. Have fun in addition to stay safe!
