I wrote a while back that I was going to work on coming up with a schedule for myself so that I get more accomplished.  This is my latest thought.  Instead of trying to stick to a strict timed schedule, I’m breaking my day into 3 segments and listing things I want to accomplish within those time frames…if I’ve got time leftover, it’s mine to do whatever.  My three time frames are 6:45-10, 10-1, 1-5.  This morning my 1st time frame is short on things to do because I had some blogging to catch up and a pile of emails to attend too. As I finish things today, I’ll cross them off.  I’m being daring here going public with my schedule…now I’ll feel utterly compelled to get everything accomplished.

6:45-10:  make breakfast, make Dave’s lunch, eat breakfast with Dave, help Dave get everything ready for his day, check emails, respond to emails, write blog entries, start load of laundry.

10-1:shower, empty dishwasher, clean up kitchen (including filling dishwasher, washing counter tops, washing stove top, & generally straightening the rest of the room), change cat litter, eat lunch, make list of things needed at Family Dollar, talk to mom.

1-5: clear off dining room table, generally straighten dining room, sweep & mop floor in dining room, straighten living room, start dinner, go to Family Dollar, write cards sympathy cards regarding Grandma’s passing, change bedding & make the bed, go to bank, do another load of laundry.

So it isn’t a hectic day or anything, just need to tend to some basic household stuff.  Let’s see how I do getting everything accomplished!!

UPDATE:  Okay, it’s 3:42 and the plan changed some.  Thank God Dave isn’t a task master…cuz I got sidetracked.  It was soooooooooo nice outside that I decided to do some cleaning outside instead of inside.  I actually wanted to work outside and for those of you that know me well you know that I HATE doing outside work like yard stuff.

AND I have a weight update.  I lost another pound!  That’s 16 pounds now!  WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!  My desire is to be down 25 pounds by Thanksgiving.  I might actually have to work at it though so we’ll see how that goes.
