So I developed this list of "rules" for myself, in an effort to be more healthy/productive in general with my life as a SAHM.  However, tonight DH is gone, and I have broken several of my own rules.  I guess because no one is here to see me break them....?  

Anyway, here's the list of rules, or maybe I should say goals, I came up with for myself:

1. No eating and/or snacking after 10pm.  Eat a good snack before we give Jude her bath, but after 10, I just need to drink water.

2. Go to bed within an hour of when Jude goes to sleep.  Spend this hour wisely--quality time with DH, reading, or journaling.

3. Limit playing on the internet to times when Jude is nursing.

4. Use naptime constructively: dishes, laundry, dinner prep, pick up and put away.

5. Keep my priorities straight.  One of the easiest ways I can show God's love to others in this season of my life is to be a loving wife and mother.

And even though I haven't quite made all my goals today, tomorrow is a new day, and Jude is sleeping sweetly in her room, and DH should be home soon.
