Ok I am actually pretty good at this part lately. Since having my second son I lay down with him and hubby at 8pm and they both fall asleep around there. Then I get my alone time on my laptop. I also watch a few tv shows. I then go to sleep @ 11pm. So this is already my normal bedtime and I dont feel that I need an earlier time as the boys get up soemtime between 730-9am so this is plenty of sleep for me. I should be getting up before the boys BUT it is impossible to get up without waking them up so I just stay in bed til they wake up.
I am not to eat the bread of idleness. Pr. 31:27
About Me
- lovingarmstrong
- Valley of the Sun, AZ, United States
- I am a dedicated housewife/homemaker. By dedicated I mean dedicated not only to God, my husband, children and home but also to learning all I can about how to do my job and do it well. Here you will find things that I have found that I have experimented with or have found to be useful for me. Enjoy!
Only For Today
1. Only for today, I will seek to live the livelong day positively, without wishing to solve the problems of my life all at once.
2. Only for today, I will take the greatest care of my appearance: I will dress modestly; I will not raise my voice; I will be courteous in my behavior; I will not criticize anyone; I will not claim to improve or to discipline anyone except myself.
3. Only for today, I will be happy in the certainty that I was created to be happy, not only in the other world but also in this one.
4. Only for today, I will adapt to circumstances, without requiring all circumstances to be adapted to my own wishes.
5. Only for today, I will devote ten minutes of my time to some good reading, remembering that just as food is necessary to the life of the body, so good reading is necessary to the life of the soul.
6. Only for today, I will do one good deed and not tell anyone about it.
7.Only for today, I will do at least one thing I do not like doing; and if my feelings are hurt, I will make sure no one notices.
8. Only for today, I will make a plan for myself: I may not follow it to the letter, but I will make it. And I will be on guard against two evils: hastiness and indecision.
9. Only for today, I will firmly believe, despite appearances, that the good Providence of God cares for me as no one else who exists in this world.
10. Only for today, I will have no fears. In particular, I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful and to believe in goodness. Indeed, for twelve hours I can certainly do what might cause me consternation were I to believe I had to do it all my life.
