September 3in30

I jumped on board late with the August 3in30.  My plan was to keep the same goals for September, although I've since changed my mind (I do that - a LOT).

1.  Develop a healthy morning routine (which doesn't include yelling, fighting or rushing - ANYONE).   

I've joined #hellomornings.  Since committing I've only managed to get up before everyone else 3 out of 6 days soooooo...this stays for September.  My goal is to get up EVERY day before everyone else.  Even if I don't have time to do all those crazy things I want to in my head (like an hour long jog - jog? HA! I don't even run - but some mornings it sounds fun, right?). I will get up and make time for the important things...a bible study/prayer time, some exercise and a few minutes to plan my day.  

2.  Purge my junk (and not become a hoarder)


I have a friend who just had a yard sale.  She told me she cleaned out her 'hoarder rooms'.  Which freaked me out.  A LOT.  I've seen that show.  I have those roomS...as in more than one.  My mom and I are having a yard sale at my house next weekend.  So really, I hope to accomplish most of this between now and then.  I did manage to clean up  my bedroom making somewhat of a dent (I really should do a follow up post - it really is clean now...promise!).  Now if I could just make about a thousand more dents, I'd be good to go.

3.  Read a book (I used to read a TON, now I have a Kindle and I read none - go figure)

I thought if anything this would be the easiest.  I love to read.  I have bookshelves full of books, not to mention I just got a Kindle and download every single free book I come across.  Unfortunately though, other than doing a couples bible study with my husband and going online, I've never really read anything on it. So I'm just giving it up.  With 7 kids I'm sure if I leave this here I just be setting myself up to fail so off it goes.

3.  Drink more water.

Sounds slightly lame but I should.  And not to sound lazy but it is an obtainable goal and goes along great with #1.  

3in30 - A head Start of Sorts (Or else I'm just really far behind)

So I've been watching this website and stalking the Facebook page for the month of August, a little nervous about committing.

But, what the hey! Might as well just jump right in now and get a head start of sorts.

My 3in30 (for August and most likely September):

• Develop a healthy morning routine (which doesn't include yelling, fighting or rushing - ANYONE)
• Purge my junk (and not become a hoarder)
• Read a book (I used to read a TON, now I have a Kindle and I read none - go figure)
