I am in - and I thought I had repyed earlier.

1. Wake up early - this is fairly easy for me, I am a morning person. I am trying to go walking in the morning before breakfast, which means getting up at 5:45.

2. Go to bed early - The goal is to hit the sheets by 10:30 at the latest, and is generally do able. Early Bird goes down at 6 when she doesn't nap, so I still have lots of time with out her.

3. Evening Preparations - I need to work on this specially for days we are doing stuff at Church

4. Meal planning - I meal plan by the week, I have tried to do longer but it doesn't go well for me. Growing up my mom meal planed by the month and was wonderful at it. She could write a book on it.

5. 1 load of laundry per day~ Start to finish - i do much better to do one across every day [sort all the dirty clothes from up stairs, fold what is in the dryer, move load over to dryer, pick load to wash, put folded cloths away]. That way I am still getting one done every day but I only have to treck down to the basement once (My down fall is forgetting to flip it in the middle of the day and this solves it.)

6. Dishes done each evening - I need to work on having them not only washed but dyed and put away , We don't have a dish washer.

7. 5 minute bathroom cleaning - this is the biggest change that I need to make happen.

8. Have a place for everything - i am slowly working towards this.

9. Have a bedtime routine of cleaning up - this has been half hearty done before and I need to do it consistently.

10. Don't say "yes" immediately to new requests - I am getting good at this one
