Monday, May I (RETURNS!)

So a long, long, long, long. long. long. long. long time ago on Mondays a blog bud friend (who is now retired and raising her two adorable cuties in that other Carolina) did a Monday, May I post just about every Monday.  I did it too because it made me accountable (ya'll, that's my favorite word) for stuff I wanted to get done for the week.

Like I said, she retired and eventually I quit doing that Monday accountability  post.

I decided I needed to get back to my Monday, May I posts.  I mean look, with summer comes some laziness that I just can't deal with.  OK, maybe I could deal with it in June but HELLO it is July.  It is time to get a bit more "fire under my tail".

This week my three four things are EASY.  I

1.  More exercise.
2.  More water.
3.  More devotion
4.  Get the weekend planned.



I haven't been getting in the sweat equity I need to.  I have been a lazy girl.  Lazy girls aren't cool girls.



My water consumption has been fair.  This week I am taking it back to spectacular.  I may go back to my shakes too.  Maybe....



More devotion to you my lovely friends and readers....just kidding.  I'm devoted to you.  Devotion in this challenge is more reading my Bible and my study book (that I got a couple months ago and totally did not finish.  I didn't much care for the book (study book) but I'll give it another try before moving on.)  I don't know about you but during the summer we slack on church. I will just be honest - its because we spend more time going and doing as a family and are off the regular routine of the school year.  I don't foresee me hell bound for this (though you may and that's cool I'll just volunteer to drive the bus down if this is what condemns me).  My daughter and I do a devotion together and that helps to keep me us in check.



Next weekend we have something to do that would be a lot easier as a couple and not as a couple plus two little people.  Hopefully, I can {either} talk some family into watching the kids or at least get the sitter for a little more time than usual.

Alrighty, I feel great just putting these out there. Next Monday I'll go back over these and either give myself an A for passing or a F for failure.

Do you have anything you want to get accomplished this week?  Share it!

Monday, May I?

Okay guys if you don't remember Monday, May I from 2013 here's a recap:

I share three things I want to get done for the week.  These are typically three things I put off that are ridiculous.  By blogging it I can a) be accountable  b) inspire others  c) get it done.

So here's my three for this week:

1.  Print the pictures

Nicole has captured some beautiful pictures of my children, many times.  (I meant to put that comma there!)

Those beautiful pictures are sitting on the disks she has given me each time.

It is a damned shame.

Since the house is complete (except for a few windows, being completed TODAY) I have no excuse for not printing and dressing my naked walls with my babies.

This week I will print the photos.

2.  Crawl back up on the wagon

What you didn't know I had a problem?  Yes, I do.  Over the past month I fell off the water wagon.  I haven't been taking in enough of that critical life fluid that is free of calories, flavor, and cost.  My water consumption has been little to none.

This week its back to water world.

3.  Get up early again

Let's just blame December.  I had two weeks off of work and though to most people getting up at seven is getting up early to this girl it isn't.  I need those precious hours before the children get up to have some me time with my coffee, newspaper, Jesus Calling devo, and well....just silence before the day starts.  It helps my mood and outlook.

This week I'll be back to getting up before the children.

Do you have three things you need to or want to get done this week?  I'll hold you accountable for them if you'll hold me accountable for mine!  You can share your blog post in the comments or just write in the comments some things you want to get accomplished this week.  I'll email you and we'll get all our stuff done together.

Guess what!  Over the weekend we got a childfree break.  Yep, me and the hubby had time to ourselves with no little kids in tow.

So what did we do in the pouring rain?

We went to see American Hustle.

Bradley Cooper...ahhhh.

Movie....um well I had higher expectations.
