Amber - That evening

 Always something gets me to stay up too late.  Not sure why I can't get it but I will say that my morning time is great!  I'm doing better there than planned.  I'm going to keep going as I am except I'm adding that app I told you about.  Maybe it will have an affect on my evening if I can feel like I've done all my housework.  Especially if I keep getting up in the morning, that will help me have more free time in the evenings so I won't feel like I have to stay up. Goals: Alarm at 9:00- wrap it up and go get ready for bed. Alarm at 9:30- time to put it down now. Bed at 10 pm Rise at 7 am (alarm included) Have an activity every day that I look forward to having time to do. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Rise Time 6:35 6:30 8:30 7:30 7:15 8:10 9:00 Bed Time 10:30  12 11:30 11 1:30 11:30 10:15 Monday: * D&C 60 talks about sharing the gospel as a talent, it says that if you are not more faithful you would have your talent ta...

Aimee-MIA

 Hey guys, sorry I haven't been present. Sometimes it's hard to stay on top of everything. I am working on myself still and hoping to get closer to some goals this week.  I love you all! Keep moving forward!

 ­It has been a while. We have had a lot going on between our little family and the rest of the family. I felt like I couldn't make myself keep up with this blog as well. I am feeling a little bit more in control and like I can do it today, so here I am .  Ben and Aaron have been pulling on my hair a lot and I really don't like being angry at my kids, so the hair had to go. It was really long and very damaged as well.  I will have to get a better picture when I wash it next, I had already had it pulled up because of our FHE activity, but here is the length. I am not so sure I like the layers. I just don't think she did enough, but it is cut.  Right now I am working on keeping this house together. We got a used fridge with a freezer to put outside, so that we can do better meal prepping (I am so excited!). That will make it easier to do what I am planning. I make a recipe, but I make 4 times what we need, divide it into 4 portions and freeze 3 of them. It makes my lif...

Amber - Better this week

Image
 The plan is to be better this week.  I'll try my best and hopefully it will pay off.  I have definitely been more awake in the mornings and it wasn't until this monday that I woke up more tired than usual.  Here are the goals again. Goals: Alarm at 9:00- wrap it up and go get ready for bed. Alarm at 9:30- time to put it down now. Bed at 10 pm Rise at 7 am (alarm included) Have an activity every day that I look forward to having time to do. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Rise Time 7-8 7:25 7 6:30 6:30 6:30 9 Bed Time 11   10 11:30 10:30 11:00 12 12:45 Monday: * In Section 58:4 it says "For after much tribulation come the blessings."  I have generally only thought of this in terms of a trial that comes upon someone and they have to deal with it and eventually they overcome and later see the blessings.  However, today I thought of it more short-term and goal oriented.  When you wish to learn a skill or develop some part of ...

Taylor - Just Chillin' I Guess

 Okay, now that everyone knows, I can talk freely! I know some of ya'll might want more details and stuff, so here it is. I will be 9 weeks tomorrow, 5/20. Our due date is 12/23! Originally we were supposed to be due 12/16, but the ultrasound showed that the baby is measuring a full week behind, so they changed our due date. I haven't been sick at all! Sometimes I gag a bit, or my tummy gets upset when first eating for the day. Mostly, I'm just TIRED. It's getting a little better though.  I wish I had thought of this a few weeks ago so I could save me some misery and possibly $$. But BYU-I has changed aspects of my major since one of their faculty members left and wasn't replaced. I was mainly wanting this Home Design minor for interior design purposes. Now, the only classes I was interested in are no longer available, so I had pretty much just construction classes that were required. NOPE. Plus, all of those required classes aren't offered fall semester, so it ...

Amber - Do it or die

 Ok I am going to make this goal this week.  I've messed around long enough and it is not working.  So everything else is going to have to take second stage.  This week I will have to do some hard work and get to bed.  I also realize that I may have stronger opposition this week because I am trying hard.  That is how it usually works so hopefully that realization helps me stick to the plan.  I've also noticed that due to the nature and amount of stuff I write every week it is hard to compare and track my progress so I am including a table I made up in word and I will put my rise and bed times there.  Here are the goals. Goals: Alarm at 9:00- wrap it up and go get ready for bed. Alarm at 9:30- time to put it down now. Bed at 10 pm Rise at 7 am (alarm included) Have an activity every day that I look forward to having time to do. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thur...

Amber - very gradual

Image
 This goal is coming though it is so slow that sometimes I don't see it.  I like my change for last week.  I'm going to keep doing it.  This week will be a little different and might be more of a maintenance week.  I'm going to be with Kiley for a couple days or so but if I can keep from staying up any later than usual on Wednesday and Thursday then I will call it a huge triumph.  Here are the goals below. Goals: Alarm at 9:30 - wrap it up and go get ready for bed. Bed at 10 pm Rise at 7 am (alarm included) Have an activity every day that I look forward to having time to do. Monday: * My thought today is from section 49 verse 17.  Here it is talking about marriage being ordained of God and the earth being created for us to fill it.  Verse 17 says "And that it might be filled with the measure of man, according to his creation before the world was made."  This is specifically talking about having children and families but I'm taking it further....

Amber - small change

 My last week was a bit of a failure as far as my main goal goes.  I didn't get to bed any earlier.  I did keep up on doing things with my free time but didn't work as hard as planned.  I kind of forgot that I wanted to work harder.  I could have done more and I think it would have helped but even so I think I have to make a small change.  You see I found that I like to finish things and I get disappointed when I don't.  So switching up what I'm doing while still in the middle of something else is disappointing to me.  It would be useful if it was taking super long and I needed a break but that is not the case here.  So the plan is to try to push through and work hard to get the planned thing done.  However, if I don't quite finish then I'm going to keep at it the next day and push the planned activities to the next day.  I'll keep the same order but it won't be tied to a certain day of the week any longer.  The idea is to keep...
