stop being late

we were 20 minutes earlier than when we wanted to be out of our house by. We wanted to be out of the house by 5pm, to head to town, and we got out at 4:40. It was a great feeling. I owe it to my house being clean. I was able to just brush and do my daughter’s hair, and put on my sandles, and we were able to leave, after my husband was done taking a shower. It was a great feeling.

I have made it to my daughters school on time for two days in a row, and today, I was earlier by a couple of minutes than I was yesterday! YEAH! course it helps to have two little girls wake up before 7 am, to get you going in the morning. I have found that it also helps to get totally dressed first thing, instead of making breakfast or watching cartoons first. I make sure they get completely dressed first, then I make breakfast, and they have to finish eating before I turn on the tv. And that only happens on mornings like this when they get up way early. I don’t allow tv on the mornings we are already running a bit late. Don’t want to be later. doing good so far, lets see if I can keep this going tomorrow too! 3 days in a row would kick some major butt! woo HOO!

I was late today. I even got up earlier today. I was busy baking breakfast and taking care of other stuff, that I accidently let my daughter sleep in till 8 am. I was hoping my laundry would be dry, since I forgot that there were clothes for her to wear in the wash, but they weren’t even close to dry by the time it hit 8 am. oh well. Hopefully tomorrow I will be early, lol, we’ll see.

I NEED TO GO TO BED! lol. i keep trying to get up at the time that my cell phone goes off, it seems to be the only thing that actually wakes me up. Anyways, one of my daughters the last few days, either one, wakes up a little bit before my alarm goes off, and I don’t want them up that early, so i have to lay down with them, and end up sleeping in. Which has made me not as late as i was, but still later than i want to be. In the morning, I am seriously going to have to get on the ball, and find clothes right away for the girls, and get them ready right away, we are going to have to leave a little earlier than i usually would if i were on time, because it decided to snow today. there’s around 5 inches out there, and i have to walk the girls to school, and push a duo-stoller. It’s going to suck in the morning, but it’s better than worrying about my husband on the road in a vehicle that lost it’s reverse, and no heat. I don’t have to worry about his tires anymore, thank god, but still, glad he’s taking the 4runner, instead. I don’t mind walking when it’s between that and this. Well, that’s whats going on here, and I am doing better than i was, so that is a win for me so far. Just need to start getting up in the morning, and going to bed early on my part. Need to do that now, haha. goodnight to all, and have a great day tomorrow!

my 3 year old daughter started preschool this year, and I was determined to bring her to school everyday. The only problem was that I was getting lazy, and having a hard time getting up in the morning, so I was bring her to school later and later. I didn’t want to be known as being late all the time. But i am. SO, my one resolution this year, that I am trying to stick to, is getting my daughter to school on time everyday. Flylady has actually helped me with that. I am getting up and getting dressed to shoes everyday, except of course for today as I write this. I am making my bed and finding clothes for us right off the bat, so that I am not rushing around at the last minute. I am making them food and getting them milk first thing in the morning too. The one thing I am not doing yet, just cant get up. I am trying to get up earlier, so that I can have some time to myself before they get up, that way I can go to bed earlier. I tend to stay up late, like last night, and then sleep in, instead of getting up to the alarm, when I am supposed to. I have done pretty well for the last week, it was her first week back since winter break. I had to walk the girls to school all week, except yesterday. I am trying to let my husband drive my car, I won’t drive his, that’s in another goal, but anyways, that way I don’t have the temptation to drive into town and go shopping. We only live around the corner from her school, so it only takes about 7 minutes to get to it, walking. I am trying, and doing pretty well, have only been late i think once or maybe a little late twice this week. I was actually earlier than the teachers opening the classroom one day. That was amazing. I am trying, and I think I can make this work, but I need to work on getting better at getting up at my alarm, the first one, and that way I can have time to myself.
