Rewarding

Since I fell pregnant I’ve had little energy and almost zero motivation. The house is falling apart…well not literally but I’m getting behind in so much stuff. It’s depressing me no end. I use a reward system with the kids and it works…some of the time…so I thought I’d come up with a reward chart to try to motivate myself. Don’t know if it’ll work but I’m willing to try anything at the moment.  Basically I get stickers for doing the gardening, exercising, my morning, afternoon and night routines, my weekly house blessing, my daily to do lists and getting the washing done folded and put away. Once I get 20 stickers I can hire a DVD of my choice. 40 stickers is a trip to the cinema,  60 is candy from Darrell Lea, 80 is a bubble bath or take away for dinner and 100 is my favourite of all. I either get to go out for dinner or DH has offered to cook me a 3 course dinner of my choice. Looking forward to that one. Dh is a great cook. He is an ex chef after all. Well that’s about it for me today. I need to get the clothes off the line.

Luv and hugs

Journaling Prompt - Morning Routine

Tell me about your morning routine. How did you come about to adopt it.
I'm trying to do the flylady thing. Yes I'm a flybaby or a maggot as my DH says. He thinks he's soooo funny. I'm been fluttering off and on for about a couple of years. This is the routine I'm meant to stick to

• get up at 5am
• let dogs downstairs for wee
• turn hot water system on ( I only turn it on a few hours a day)
• put a load of washing on
• move Guinea Pig cage
• feed pet rats
• shower
• time with God
• Breakfast and meds
• brush teeth
• make lunches for kids and DH
• make bed
• swish and swipe bathroom
• wash up
• put clothes on line
• walk dogs as I walk kids to school

I'm not sticking to my routine too well at the moment. I need to become more disciplined. I think it's a pretty good routine. I'd like to put an early morning walk in there too.

Luv and Hugs

God Bless
