It was about 60 degrees today, so we went for a long family walk. We did it yesterday when it was in the 30's and will continue to go any day it is above 30. I think it will really help my resolve, as it relieves stress too. I need to find healthier ways to relieve stress. The computer reading had become my main stress reliever.<BR/><BR/>I restarted a prayer journal I had set aside when Emily started getting around more and I got busier. I still did pray, but it wasn't very organized. Anyway, I am sooo glad to be doing the journal again. <BR/><BR/>After I put the three kids to bed, I found it impossible to get right to the devotions and chores. I read a magazine for 35 minutes before I started my devotional time. I do the whole dinner, bath, jammies, teeth, story routine on my own, since Don works nights. It is exhausting, so I don't think it is realistic to not allow myself a short break after that. It just can't be a computer break. <BR/><BR/>Also, I finished up some laundry after devotions, but had to save the dishes and pick up for after the computer time, because I want to be done with the computer by the time Don gets home. He wants me to talk with him then. He talks to me while I tidy up, and sometimes helps.<BR/><BR/>I will have to also try to blog before going to MOMformation at night, or it won't get done as often. <BR/><BR/>I also found it took me longer to catch up on the posts, since I was reading so many at once. I will now have to pick and choose which ones to read, as there will no longer be time to read all of them.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, didn't mean this to be so long. I will use your e-mail tomorrow. I will delete it from my blog tomorrow, so no one sees it. Thank you again!<BR/><BR/>Bless You,<BR/>PamChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741646073555849828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24498031.post-58561187435730084162008-03-02T05:38:00.000-08:002008-03-02T05:38:00.000-08:00Ashley, Yes, I would LOVE to be accountability par...Ashley, <BR/>Yes, I would LOVE to be accountability partners! Wow! Just the fact that you wrote with that idea is, to me, a sign that God is already working on my prayer request! <BR/><BR/>Starting Monday, I want to only check in with the MOMformation posts once after putting Emily down for her second nap, and then only after the kids are in bed (husband works until 11:30 pm). How about if I write to you every night, telling you about my progress? Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. <BR/><BR/>Also, for my evening time, I only want to go to the computer after my nighttime devotion, and after the kitchen is clean. I usually end up tidying the house at 11 pm. Not a good idea.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741646073555849828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24498031.post-24348707120956936232008-02-28T20:18:00.000-08:002008-02-28T20:18:00.000-08:00Ashley - Your husband is adorable and sounds adora...Ashley - Your husband is adorable and sounds adorable.
