Silly sleep

Sleep.

Sleep and I have a strange relationship. Until 2008 and we were good together sleep and I. Then I had the Bug. By the time he was 5 months old I was convinced he had a sleep disorder that prevented him from sleeping. Somewhere around a year he started sleeping from 9pm to 6 am. It was glorious.

Four months later the Bear was born and it started all over again.

Now here we are 30 months later. The Bear is still interrupting my sleep occasionally but overall I get enough sleep. But now I kind of wish I didn’t have to sleep. What I once coveted like gold I now kind of wish was not required because frankly I would get a lot more done.

If I had all the time in the world:

I would have a killer garage sale

I would get all those photos on my computer edited and organized

I would scrapbook

I would exercise

I would deep clean the carpet and hardwoods

I would NOT forget to pay the water bill (seriously if it’s not on autopay it’s late)

I would have a fabulous portfolio of brush paintings

I would cook all those Pinterest recipes I have sitting there online

I fantasize about having more time the way some people fantasize about winning the lottery. And I blame it all on those 6-7 hours of pesky sleep my body requires per night.

Now for some house keeping:

Two weeks food waste total is….~$8.00! I’m excited over this. I’m not going to detail what I through out. I will say I need to get a bigger lasagna pan and learn to freeze it.

As for the Preparing for 40 goals

I had my first word of mouth client this month. It was exciting. I’m thinking of new marketing tools and events.

Tomorrow I am going to the doctor for some digestive issues and I think it is time to have a good old fashion health assessment done. I’m going to ask for advice and tools to get me moving on this weight issue. I estimate I need to lose about 20 lbs. Not a small task but certainly not undoable. I want to be under 140 and this safely puts me there.

With the Bug’s birthday and the Husband’s birthday and Christmas looming in the shadows I wish I could say I am making better headway on the savings but I am not. Sigh.

Today’s quote:

Be a lamp unto yourself. Work out your liberation with diligence.
