Eggs-actly what I'm supposed to do

I got everything done today before the day officially started.  (And by everything I just mean ballet, Bible, and budget).  Of course, the song I did for ballet was only a minute long.... and there was nothing to do for the budget because I checked yesterday and mvelopes doesn't update very quickly.  But I did read three and a half chapters of Romans.

I had some delightful moments watching my youngest try to imitate my husband brushing his teeth.  Then I got to shower with minimal interruptions.  And getting the older two motivated to get dressed took less effort than usual...

And then I came downstairs.

I don't know what it was that sapped my motivation.  The house isn't that messy.  The renovations are not that intrusive.  The only thing I can figure is that now is the time I'm faced with cooking eggs, and I hate eggs.

I hate eggs.

What do you eat every morning on a low carb diet?  Eggs.  Or leftovers, but if I eat them for breakfast then what will I eat for lunch? Eggs?  See, there's no way around it.  Occasionally I make pancakes (which are totally a cheat).  Sometimes I make custard and pretend it's a legitimate breakfast food.  I've even gotten crazy and tossed veggies and cheese in the eggs in an attempt to disguise anything healthy with cheese.  But every morning I reach the point when I am faced with a carton of eggs and a low supply of creativity.

That point, unfortunately, is now.

Ballet, Bible and Budget

I had an idea this morning that I needed more accountability and that, more specifically, I could do that through this blog.  I know, I've had this idea before.  But I also have been thinking lately that if I'm blogging more, maybe Hayden will see writing as more enjoyable.  It worked with reading...

Anyway, here's my new(est) plan:

Every day I will 1. do one song worth of ballet 2. read my Bible more than just what I need to read to the kids and 3. balance the checkbook.

Hopefully this will help with
1. my physical health
2. my spiritual health
3. my financial health
all of which have been abysmal as of late.

And I'm going to try to do it for one year.  Every day.  Before I do anything fun.  And then I will blog afterwards, which helps with my goal of writing more.

And I will allow interruptions like taking care of my kids and going to places that I'm scheduled to go to.  This is just to prevent me from free time until I'm done.

Okay, time to go to church.  I managed to get all this done by 10:00 today. :)
