Things that seem impossible

I have a huge list of things that seem impossible. Although, i have great faith that in Christ all things are possible. I have experienced this first hand so many times. so here's my list.

1. Becoming an early riser: I am pretty grumpy in the morning. I don't think i show it, but i'm not the mom that is awake and in the kitchen when the family wakes up. I'd like to be, though. I have one more year until we have to get sophie to seminary, all the way up the hill. That is my deadline. To become an early riser by then.

2. Laundry: Too many clothes. that's just it. we have too many clothes. I need a laundry schedule that i STICK to.

3. Reading the Scriptures everyday with the Family: Following Grandma's challenge and finishing the book of mormon with the family seems impossible. I'm trying to identify why.
  • We aren't early risers.
  • I'm really tired at night.
  • Doug doesn't head it up either, so i let it slide. I think we're going to regret this one if we don't fix it!
Now, The Plan:
1. Put myself in order. What is it going to take to pray and read my scriptures daily. WHAT???

2) Make a schedule and stick to it. How you gonna do this when our lives are anything but scheduled. or is this just my excuse. everything except Doug's schedule is pretty consistent. Have to be better at homemaking when doug is around. I'm much, much better about it on my own. NEED to fix that.

3) Rewards? hmm. will have to think about that.

4) Also, approach Doug about making a goal to pray together every day. just us.
