Woohooo! Finally – another completed list day!
Just signing in really quickly – gotta go for now, but, I’ll be back!
Hopefully when the kids get their butts back in school next week, I’ll get caught up on everything!!

I didn’t make it yesterday, but, I am going to really focus on it today!

WOOOHOOOO! I did it! I completed the list yesterday! Totally awesome!
And my sweet and talented friend, Retta – fixed up my reward graphic! Purdy, huh?
The one thing on the list that has been hard for me for about a week is the exercise, but, yesterday I went outside and played with my daughter. It was tons of fun – and it helped me complete the list, too! Perfect!
I think I’m gonna up the water to two bottles, too.

I don’t remember what I missed, but, I didn’t make the whole list.
I know I missed exercise, and I may have forgotten to pray in the morning.
But – I’m making an adjustment to that one. One of the most valuable things that my precious AA sponsor taught me was that I could start my day over anytime.
Total surprise! You mean, if I had a rotten morning, I could still have a good afternoon, for example? Yep! You sure can.
And one way that I make sure to facilitate this, is to hit my knees anytime of day! Especially if I have forgotten in the morning! Or heck, even an extra time! God loves that connection with you!
So usually, when I realize that I’ve forgotten to say my morning prayers, no matter what time it is, I will hit my knees and say them!
And so – from here on out – if I do this by a long enough time before bedtime – let’s say 3pm – then I’m going to count it on the list.
Funny thing is, I usually realize sometime around noon. So that is definitely a good time. I guess it would be kind of silly to say my ‘morning prayers’ at 6pm, and then go to bed and say my night time prayers at 8pm. LOL
But if I remember in a reasonable amount of time, I’m counting it.
Because not only does that mean I’m ‘making the list’ – but, more importantly, I’m taking an active role in living the way that my sponsor taught me!
And that rocks! I miss her so damn much – she passed in 1997, and that not only gets me ‘on the beam’, as we AA’s like to say, but, it also makes me feel so much more connected to her!

Nope – didn’t make it, but, to be fair – I had six kids at home all day.
It’s kind of funny, with all those kids, but, all I missed out on was my exercise!
My daughter had a friend over, and we were taking care of my two nieces.
So it was a noisy and hectic, although happy and fun, day.
I have a lovely friend, Cass, who has eight kids at home – every day – they’re all hers!
I could totally do that, but, I think it would be all about the kids. I don’t know that I could do all of my online work, as well.
But I guess, one adapts, and maybe I would be as proficient as Cass! Who knows!
I always did want a lot of children, but, nature intervened…
And I’m sure it turned out just like God wanted it. So I shall live vicariously through my friends like Cass!

I didn’t make it – I missed the exercise and the water bottle.
But I think I’m going to change the fruit/veggie thing to 3 a day – because I’ve been eating a can of fruit, and it says it is 3 1/2 servings.
I just hope that on the days we are out of fruit and I have to eat something I don’t like quite as much, say french green beans – that I can eat as much.
Surely I can – right?

No, I didn’t make the list yesterday. It was a gloomy, cloudy day outside and in my mental state.
I didn’t just totally blow off the list – the gloom wasn’t that heavy, but, I didn’t make all of it.
Sun came out today – feeling a bit better…will report in the morning..

Ok, so I made it on Friday – I completed the list! Yea!
But – this is my first attempt at a ‘You’ve done it’ trophy for myself on the days I make it – not very good, eh?
I’ll keep working on it – or I might just give up and ask my friend, Retta – to make one for me!
First I think I’ll give it a go a time or two more, though….
