The kids went back to school yesterday. This morning was the second morning on my quest to peaceful organized bliss. Yesterday I woke up at 5:30. My alarm was set for 7, but just woke up on my own. Came downstairs a little before 6, started my coffee and basked in the quiet morning me time. I had gone to bed a little after 11 the night before. Not the 2 am thing. I need to try to get a better nights sleep so I can be more rejuvenated in the morning. This morning I did wake up with my alarm at 7 after having gone to bed about 9:30 last night. I felt so good this morning! I know the benefits of a good nights sleep and how much better it is for me to go to bed at a reasonable time. Not only does it improve my mood for the following day, but I also don't snack late, which helps my weight since I am trying to lose that. I also don't smoke as much and supposedly I get a youthful glow from a good nights rest! It's all there!
Now, I know myself well enough that a 9:30 regime is not going to happen every night. Monday was convenient b/c no good shows were on. Even if I can try for 11 or 11:30, I think that would be a big improvement. Anything before midnight. Need to remember that I turn into a pumpkin at midnight! and the way I have been gaining weight, that's not that far off...
Steve and I rearranged the living room over the weekend and cleaned up the kitchen. Almost every room on the first floor looks great! Still have not faced my laundry yet. The new semester starts on January 19 and I really want to have a laundry regimen by then. It's getting over the bump. I know once I get the laundry tackled, the bedrooms will look so much better. It's just doing it. Yet, I still have not. Gonna have to ponder this one...
