Starting today

I did it.  I actually had a cleaning service come in and clean my house.  It looks fantastic, however, I know I will never keep it up if I don't try.  I am now determined to do this and I firmly believe that your mind is quite powerful.  I figure if I can make up my mind do actually do the things that need to get done, they will!  Hey, I can try at least right?


So, today (well I guess tomorrow) I will be implementing the FlyLady methods.  Routines are going to be very important when Josh starts Kindergarten.  I feel we need to start them now to get them down.  Morning routines, after work/school, and evening routines are going to be quite instrumental in our success.  


Next thing on the list is finances!  Dave Ramsey should be helping us with this part.  I have a meeting Friday with Wanda from church to discuss starting Financial Peace University.  There are so many things that need to be paid off or saved for.  I don't even know where to start!  So, I guess it's back to the baby steps, which is always a good place to start.  


The final change will need to be health.  Fitness and diet are going to be a big part in this.  Weight watchers perhaps?  That plays in to the money part though.  


Oh I'm just so tired in the evenings.  How will I ever get all of this done?

How does one change?

Knowing that something needs to change, how does one go about making those changes?  I feel that so much needs to be corrected that it is overwhelming and I just don't know where to start.  Yeah, I realize baby steps but where to even set my foot?  I have a feeling that the FlyLady and Dave Ramsey are going to be instrumental in this change but is it too much to start at once?  

I'm in over my head.  I know this.  I also know that it is possible to juggle everything and still be relatively happy.  It's a matter of just getting off my lazy butt and doing all of these things!  I think this is going to be short, I should probably get off my rear like I'm talking about :)
