Last week was a challenge, both Josh and I are refusing to acknowledge that we are fighting off some sort of cold. We have been exhausted and for some reason, even though we are drowsy all day, we have a really hard time falling asleep at night - not helpful.
My alarm was set for 6:30 Monday-Wednesday. When I nodded off at my desk on Wednesday, I made a slight concession to my sore throat and set my alarm for 6:40. Monday morning I had a hard time getting out of bed, I hit the snooze button, but I stayed awake and got up before it went off again. Every other morning I got up without touching the snooze. Not too shabby, but I'll still add one to the tally for me.
We went had a fantastic day of skiing on Saturday, and on Sunday we watched the Seahawks game. We didn't set an alarm for the game, and by the time we woke and got our coffee, we almost missed the 10am kickoff time. Guess we needed our sleep!
Hi you two. Sounds like you are off to a good start on your monthly without lists. I think it is a great idea and have kicked around the idea of trying it myself but there are so many things I should give up it's hard to pick one to start with. I guess I'm thinking of things I should give up completely instead of breaking it down into smaller chunks of time. Kristina I loved your blog about your first year of marriage. It makes me happy to know you two are happy. I have spent the first part of the winter reading, can't seem to stop to even pick up my needlework. I think it's because I just don't have time to read during the nice weather months here in Iowa. Mark and I are planning a little get away to the Bear Creek Cabins over by Decorah. Even though it's just the two of us and pretty quiet here I have this need to have a retreat, nothing to distract me, I may even leave my phone at home. Boy just wait till I tell my staff that, I can hear them now. I'm feeling the need for solitude in the woods with a fire blazing away in a cozy little cabin. It would also be a good time to think about those "withouts". Love to both of you.
