'cleansweep' my life up to 100% (http://betterme.org/cleansweep.html)

I guess I am improving- even tho at times it doesn’t feel like it.
Compared to a year ago… my scores are now…
Physical- 17
Money- 16
Well being- 15
Relationships – 18

Not too bad but seriously! Who thinks of this stuff anyway… I hardly get my clothes in to a closet let alone ironed!

Caffine? I NEED my caffine. I WANT my 2 cups of coffee a day every day!!

Sugar is in everything, have you looked lately?? In EVERYTHING! Who can get away from this. I did cut out sugar in my coffee- does that count? I ate an ice cream sandwich today too, and Froot Loops yesterday and an Oreo pie on Easter, but other than that (ha) I really don’t eat sweets- does it mean sweets or literally sugar??

My well being is pretty much linked with my alcohol intake. Two a week indeed!!!

I pretty much don’t think it will get too much better than this for YEARS!! Years I tell you!!

So, I guess I will check in next year and see how this is going.

I have not worked very diligently on this goal.

My scores have changed this second time around. Maybe I wasn’t hard enough on myself the first time??

I even removed a very unhealthy person from my life.

My scores are: Physical 9, Well-being 8, Money 16, Relationships 9

I’m going to try and work on the following….
Physical- like clean all of my windows, clean out the kids drawers before they return, my kitchen cubbards, and totally finish the laundry room.

try and limit (hmmmmm) my t.v. watching. I’m not a big huge t.v. fan anyway. But only 5 hours a week??? That is like one movie and two days worth of news?? Maybe I will start with like 10 hours a week. Just be careful with the nite time sitcoms, the world tour of poker. And it totally doesn’t count when football season starts!!

Make a finiancial plan for next year.

Communicate with whom I’ve hurt. I had planned to do this anyway soon. No time like the present I guess.

I get the frige and the dryer goes out. Humph!!

There is an expense I didn’t want. I should be working on the electirical box this weekend. I just do not have enough ampage in my home to support all of our stuff. It is a way older home and doesn’t have much omph! That should fix the “short” in my stove and allow me to get a garbage disposal. As soon as that is done and the dishwasher fixed I will check off the house “in good repair” one. It needs to all be done!

My car is “in the shop” and then I should be able to check off that one as well.

Until I get kids out of the house or at least 50% more of them, I will NEVER have a neat and tidy house. IMPOSSIBLE!!! Especially since I work full time and they are home a good 2 hours before me!!!

I have bought a basket for the daily mail. I am going to count my papers as being neatly filed, I think. I get TONS of mail, it seems, almost every day. I do not file every day and have no intention of doing so. I file about once a month.

I will have a look at the list next weekend and see how I am doing with some new habits.

I bought a frige today. Mine leaks water on the inside… like maybe from the freezer into the frige and it has been doing this for a few months now and getting worse and worse. I don’t even enjoy cleaning it anymore and it is ruining so much of my fresh produce if I don’t place it inside just right.

I will need to get my stove looked at it appears to have a short- you can set the timer and temp on occasion, but not all the time.

Also my dishwasher is not working. It is not old so I don’t know what it up. It will be nice to have it back in working order with the size of this household!!

After that I will be able to check off another box! WooHoo!! That will feel really good to get things into proper working order.

My son is working on my car at the moment (he is a mechanic and is doing it for me on the side- so it takes a wee bit longer and a heck of a lot less money- like only for parts!!) So that will also be in good working order. What a relief that will be! Whew!!

Some of the other things will take much, much longer for me- like keeping my house nice and tidy (huh???). I am working on my room and my bathroom and then we’ll see how that works for now. G

I had a talk with my boyfriend about this site and what I wanted to do and accomplish and how sometimes in our frantic, busy household that I would need help here and there.

Omigosh!! This morning I went in to make the bed and he had already done it!! what a sweetie!! I was soooo happy and excited to have his support!!

I think along with making my bed everymorning that I will slowly perfect my room including the window and sills and go from there!

G

I am going to practice making my bed daily and not gossiping- I usually don’t, but I can sure get sucked in easy enough!

I didn’t fair as good as some. And yes this is going to take awhile.

Physical environment I got a 10
Well being I got 12
Money I got a 13 and
relationships I go an 11

There is a lot I need to work on that is for sure.
