So, after posting about only getting to bed on time 5 nights out of 13 possible, it seems as though I have gotten a kick in the pants! Not only did I get to bed close to on time last night, but I also stayed in bed when I woke up too early and had only slept 5 or 6 hours. Unheard of! Normally I would have popped up out of bed when I realized it would be hard to get back to sleep because any time I’m not sleeping and everyone else is sleeping is designated MOMMY TIME! It’s really hard to resist the lure of time to myself, even if it is bleary-eyed, coffee-drinking, I-know-I’m-gonna-pay-for-this-later time to myself. But not this early morning. This morning I shut my eyes and resigned myself to stay in bed. Voila! 2 more hours of sleep!

So I got a decent amount of sleep last night, Petunia “let” me do Mommy Stuff today and I used nap time to do household stuff that had to get done. Some sewing after putting Petunia to bed and here I am, 4 minutes ’til bed time, pajama-clad, teeth brushed, chores done and finishing up a blog post, ready for bed. Who knew all I had to do was blog about how bad I am at being disciplined? That leads me to my next couple of blog posts about what triggers us to be motivated to change (and what doesn’t). Until next time…get some sleep!
