Mark it up!

I cannot catch up. Every day I wake up and try to get as much done as I can so that I can get to bed early and maybe catch up on sleep...and my to-do list...and everything else. And every single day I feel more behind. I don't know what it was about the holidays this year but I got so behind on everything, including sleep. I don't know about you, but I feel terrible without sleep. Brandon can sleep 4-5 hours a night and be fine. He said he is a soldier. Well, I am NOT a soldier....I need sleep. So anyway, I am behind on everything right now and I am not sure what to do next.

The kids keep going though...even when you are tired! I am just thankful they are well and happy...that helps tremendously.

I am glad tomorrow is Sunday. I need a refreshing day ya know. Our Pastor has encouraged all of us to get a bible, or a new bible, and "mark it up" in the year 2011. He wants us to get a pen and highlighter and every time we hear a sermon, do a bible study, or anything like that then he wants us to take notes in our bible for the whole year. That way we can look back at the end of 2012 and see everything that God showed us. I think it is an awesome idea. I went out and got a new bible that is in a different version just to change things up. I can't wait to see it a year from now!

The first verse I marked up  was in Proverbs. It said..."A lazy life is an empty life, but "early to rise" gets the job done!"

I love that. I am not a lazy person at all. I am going 110% almost all the time BUT there are times when I could be using my time more wisely. I want to focus on that this year and trying to get up and get going quicker with things that are healthy for me. I have been slacking in exercise, eating right, all that good stuff. I know, I know, the leader of The Challenge shouldn't slack. But I can't lie, I have been. So I am admitting it so that I can pick it up! And I can't wait to mark up my new bible and see what I can learn in the next year.

Off to bed....maybe I can catch up on sleep right now :)
