In an attempt to make myself a better person...or at least a more organized, healthier person, I am trying out a new challenge. I can be found at http://3in30.ashleypichea.com/ Today's update on the three goals:
- Get to bed at a reasonable time: I have been getting up much earlier in an attempt to knock myself out by the end of the day. Unfortunately, yesterday I just crashed and slept on the couch for about three hours. Then I was awake and feeling ready to rumble at bedtime! I do know that once school starts and I am up at 5:30 every day, I will be finally achieving my goal...perhaps even finding I am too tired to do anything but sleep! It always takes me time to get back into teaching...it's exhausting....but I do love it!
- Set reasonable limits on my blogging: Yes! This has worked out well this week. I have been busy with getting my classroom ready, enjoying day trips with the kids, catching up on bills and other things I want finished before school starts. I still went online and posted, but I was not a manic fixed to the screen for hours. I did miss the time I usually spend reading and commenting on other blogs, but I think I will set aside one night a week to really have fun with that and then do more on an 'as I can' basis.
- De-clutter my house: Well, the tag sale was ready to rumble this Saturday....until we were issued a hurricane alert for Connecticut and I decided I really don't want my clutter to destroy everything in its path as it blows through the neighborhood. So no luck this week. I will postpone and hold a September sale with the proceeds still going to the charity. My revamped garage with mud-room will have to wait until another day! What grieves me the most is the fact that I wanted to de-clutter the storage area in the basement too, so I could start doing my craft again. The basement looks worse than the garage right now but c'est la vie! On a more positive note, I did manage to take more clothes to the charity store...some progress has been made :)
