maybe i should stay up late everynight!!

DISCLAIMER: only read if you have nothing better to do... this post is full of rambling!!!

it's 1:00 in the morning and i have no desire to go to bed. i might regret this when ella wakes up saying "baba, baba" repeatedly until i get her a sippy cup. tonight is different from other nights... i usually can't wait to lay my head on that pillow.
i didn't get home until 10:00 from my wonderful small group. usually that is fine, considering my wonderful
husband normally has fallen asleep on the couch with our precious angel tucked in his arms sleeping peacefully (i would prefer her to be in the bed, but i'm definitely not complaining) anyway, when i got home tonight ella was wired... she had fallen asleep after dinner, slept a couple of hours, and then awoke with a bundle of energy... so i eventually got her back to sleep around 10:30, 10:45... (notice: i am just rambling... it is 1:15 am)
i did a little work on my new "job". allow me to introduce myself... my name is emily murphy, an independent consultant for the pampered chef. :) btw, if anyone is interested in pampered chef products, just call me...
alright, now that that is over with.
in our small group tonight we had a mini-conversation about getting organized... that is one of my MAJOR weaknesses. like this
lady, i am a stacker. derek hates my stacks... if i could stay up after everyone else is in bed, who knows what i could accomplish...
does anyone have any advice on organization? where do i begin?

You should write more often. You are not a bad writer, especially all of the parts about your wonderful husband.

Now, you could take my following comments and advise as getting leverage, but I am not. I am being serious.

First. Take B-Dubs advise and get rid of as much stuff, A.K.A. "CLUTTER", that you can.

Second. Post blogs daily and challenge yourself when you write. You are not accountable to anyone but yourself and Ella. Writing your thoughts and goals down will setup a precedent for challenge. You are most likely to succeed in the task at hand when it becomes challenging and fun, as opposed to monotonous and antagonizing.

I love you, and you are doing a great job as manager of this home. But the challenge needs to come from you. When it comes from me, it comes across and is taken as criticism.

You are competetive by nature. Play on that. Write it down (for the world to see), challenge yourself, and attack it. In the end your goal will become not to let the world or yourself down.

I love you,
