I have been doing really well. After chastising myself for a long while about my inability to get up early so I could work out, I finally figured out a way to deal with my natural inclinations to sleep but still get exercise. The kids have usually played really well together in the morning after breakfast. Taking advantage of that, I've been exercising around 9 and then getting ready by 10 when we begin our schoolwork. I've also been planning my days better and accomplishing more on my long to-do lists. It has been awesome.
However, yesterday I got up late and then allowed myself to get stuck on the computer. It ruined the rest of the day for me. I totally know better but it is amazing how easily I get sucked in. Today I repented and followed my schedule. Exercise. Done. Laundry. Four loads done and put away. Scriptures. Read. Sigh. I feel so much better.

What is it about sticky mattresses? What is it about good habits that are so difficult to establish while the bad becomes a habit immediately. Seems like some good things ought to come easily just to balance things out. But no...
It is so hard when a perfectly planned day goes out the window and you can't help but to feel down. I hope today is better!
I am the same way when it comes to routines. I guess you can be an ENTJ and still get depressed when all does not go according to plan. Couldn't help but notice that your list says "8:30 kids up". Do you mean to tell me that you have to get your kids up? Can we trade? Cause mine have gotten me up at 6 or 6:30 for the past, oh, 16 months straight.
Hey Lindsay cute blog! I will totally chat with you about photography if you want some advice... Also, I'm going to The Secret Workshop in June in Flint, MI. If you're considering opening shop with photography as a business you should really look into these workshops (thesecretphotographyworkshop.com *I think*). If there's a slot in the Flint, MI one you can even come and stay here. I have another photographer friend from Anchorage who is coming out. We would have a blast! Sorry to fill up a huge comment here. I was in a hurry and didn't know where to find your email address.
I'll have to pop over and take that quiz - very interested! I am so in awe of how you accomplish so much - teaching your children at home and finding the time to get everything done. It's true that mothers are hard on themselves, speaking from experience. I love how you really worked through everything and came up with your own solution. take care!
