Me: Okay, here it goes: Day 1. Wait. Is today day one or was yesterday day one? I went to bed at 11:00 last night, but that was just a half-day.
Matt: I guess that is a standard that you get to set.
Me: You're right. A half day doesn't count. Today has to be day one.
Matt: (Laughs)
Me: (Confused about why he's laughing and almost assuming it's whatever he's reading/doing on his phone). Why'd you laugh?
Matt: I said that you could choose whether it's day one and you said, "you're right. It has to be day one." That's not at all what I said.
Me: Hmm. But I said "you're right." That's nice, isn't it?
aaaand impromptu woman-made border--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm happy to report that I made it to bed by 11:00. I'm a little less happy to report that minutes after I went to bed, Matt came in with Christina (my baby, not my sister...that would be REALLY weird) and she cried for milk. So, I didn't have time to fall asleep before I got back up, but what can you do when you're a mommy? Tonight I'll try to make sure Tina's fed before I go to bed.
After taking care of Tina, I went to bed with excited dreams of working out, reading my scriptures, and cleaning the house, all before anyone else woke up.
When my alarm went off at 6:30 I didn't want to work out. Imagine that. So I took a nice warm shower/bath and started the day in a less-jarring way. (Baby steps). Once I warmed up to the idea of morning, I called our friendly neighborhood job center to clear up a problem with our application for child care tuition assistance (Lilly's was set to end 6 months earlier than it should). Turns out without the county's help, I lose money by working. Thank you, government. I will pay you back when I'm rich.
That was a mini-tangent.
Also, LOOK! I magically know how to do a french braid now that I'm a mom! Cool. :)
If you are trying to do this Perfect Month along with me, comment and stay accountable. I'd love to hear how it's going for you!

Early to bed Early to rise, that's a great plan. I wish I had a steady schedule, however on days thst I do..I take your challenge.
Ack. I SO don't want to be accountable. I'm back on track; that's all I'll say. :) Cute French braid in Lilly's hair! I hope I'll magically gain that skill when I'm a mom someday.
