So I have come to the conclusion that consistent sleep is my biggest hindrance in getting a routine established and being a sane individual.  I know.  I know.  This is a HUGE surprise to everyone everywhere.  🙂

Last night, I actually got enough sleep, and it was fairly decent sleep too!  I have been a happy, pleasant, effective, efficient, productive human being today!  I got so much done.  I got my entire pantry set up and organized.  More on that is coming soon.

I had dinner ready by 5:45!  I was able to take a breath and deal with crazy, random kid input and temper tantrums and not explode!  I was able to filter playful snarky comments from DH and laugh instead of taking it personally.

The dishes are all clean – well almost.  😉

I have been able to laugh at myself.

Sleep is good.  We should all get enough sleep.

To all you busy, exhausted mamas out there.  Take care of yourselves.  Eat regularly.  Laugh.  Sleep more.  Exercise a least a little everyday (even if it is just having a 3-5 min dance party with you kids).  Laugh again.

That’s it for today.  97 days to go, and I feel like I’m making progress.
