2 weeks on ideal day follow up

Ok not perfect. In fact far from perfect! However; I am LOVING it! Starting off my day with God instead of coffee and Facebook has been HUGE! It really fills my cup for the day, and my Instagram is getting some Randi's World inspiration ;) I really think I am a better person from it! If I am really good about staying off Facebook all together I tend to get so much more done! Giving myself a time limit with dedicated time to be preschool/daycare focused has been really great too! I feel like a better provider! I've been so much more efficient in planning and following my plans.

My down fall is laziness. I totally skip things to just sit and watch kids play, or skip something to lay in bed and watch youtube, or skip something and pull up facebook on my browser. So I'd say I am about 75% which is way better than I was! So I am really not mad! 

As far as food program and accounting and paperwork. I am way better, but I still seem to have a mental block about sitting down and getting things done. I have been slowly ticking away at some things. I am achieving some goals though. Mostly thanks to planning out some dedicated work time while my sister watches kids! I need to get better at utilizing the kids nap time! 

Having laundry as a goal has helped me keep up much better than I have in YEARS! There is still no system in place that I can brag about but the thought is the first step. It reminds me to atleast keep it going.

My bathroom is about the same as always. I will one day have an incredible bathroom and laundry system to totally brag about!

I did have a financial meltdown and God has opened my eyes to some major problem areas. Budgeting Randi's World is about to commence! Frugality here I come! I am inspired! Dave Ramsey is showing me the way! First step is halting spending and saving for my maternity leave! When I get back spending will still be halted and an emergency fund will start! Then we will get on those credit cards. So major major budgeting and cutting back is happening. The first thing I really needed to do is truly cut spending and look at a system to budget. I wasn't really budgeting properly! No wonder I wasn't getting ahead! Thanks to you  tube I have found the light. There is a You Tube channel that has really been an answer to my prayers! I feel like she just changed my life. She is s fellow Minnesota Daycare Provider. Work Life Glue is her channel. Check it out!

I am so motivated. Where I am weak he is strong, and I am grateful for my weakness to let God work through me! The Grace of my God through Jesus is miraculous !
