After living a lifetime of no schedules, I�ve set up a schedule that I am working to keep. The biggest part being that I am getting up EARLY in the morning. Like 5 am! GAH!! I am getting up, showering, getting ready for work, saying my prayers and checking my email and still managing to get to work by 7 am. That feels good, no matter how hard it is to get up that early in the morning. That is the piece of my schedule that I�ve been able to actually do. I tried to define more of my day, but my schedule is all over the place. School, work, commitments outside of work, I was hoping to sit down a few days a week and have dinner at my kitchen table. Didn�t happen even ONE time last week. I also had slated 1 hour of study time and 1 hour writing daily� neither of those happened either. Some how I have to streamline my day. The morning was easier then I thought it would be.

This week it is my intent to set up a schedule with my family for things around the house, like cleaning, to more fairly distribute that work. I�ll have to find time to sit down with them. I did finish up the tile work last week, which is good. Justin talked to Kevin last week and he should be by today to work on the windows. Then we�ll be able to concentrate on taping and texturing. It�ll be so good to get that basement project done. Once Justin and Moon are moved down there the upstairs will need to be gone through and organized. I am looking forward to getting control of the house again.

School is going fine. I have a Finance midterm next Monday and am worried about it some. Am hoping I�ll find time to get some studying done.

It�s a dreary, gloomy day, and I love it. I wish it would snow about three feet and I was snowed in at home. I could clean, read some, bake cookies and just peer out the window and dream dreams of days long past. It�s been far too long since the weather kept me home.
