21 Days Become a Habit?
You wanna do a Terrific Tuesday or should I just move on? Morning.... Second cuppa here... NOT on my feet yet either. These early mornings are kicking my behind peoples!!! I am really pulled about wanting to get up early to get Walt off to work,( 5 ish) or staying up late to quilt in the night, ( peace and quiet). This is the beginning of week 2, and wow.. the foolish things I'm doing! I almost... ALMOST not quite, sent a sandwich to work with nothing but 2 pieces of bread, mayo and mustard! Yep, I did... wrapped it up, collected fruit, snack pack, water and soda.... put it in this cute lil lunchpail I found at Harry n Davids, zipped the whole thing up and sat it on the counter. I poured a cuppa coffee and bounced off a wall or two headed toward ironing board..thinkin..... Did I put the ham n cheese on there?...
I began to iron Walts shirt with a haunting feeling that I had not. I tried to brush it off while considering the notepad just in front of me for the days list of TO DO's. I was already on # 9 when I figured I couldnt ignore the doubts about the lunch pail. Just before he was ready to leave I ran in and snatched the pail away from him, saying "oh Babe, I think I forgot your water, wait a minute". I opened the fridge door while unzipping the pail and sure enough, my morning me did pack him a mayo sammich! Hey... have you ever made a sandwich inside the frosty fridge at 5 am? pfffttt.... ( good lighting but damn, put some clothes on!)


They say that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit... I am on day 9... Pray for me:)

Hey G, I am right there with ya packin lunches at 5:15 am! I have a routine ya know? I pack the lunches while the coffe is brewing. Well one morning things got turned around somehow and the coffe was ready so I made 2 cups of coffe and we each headed off to the bathrooms to get ready for the day and I just didn't pack any lunch at all! Mike never said a word. I realized it a couple of hours later and e-mailed an apology! Hang in there woman!

Gina - I can relate! When Scott retired, and we became a 24/7 couple, he came in the first day at noon and asked what we were having for lunch (read what was I going to fix him for lunch)! I told him that I had packed his lunch in a brown bag every work day for 30 years, and I was still willing to do that - pack him a brown bag lunch at 5:30 AM. He never asked again!
Are you also a one shirt a day ironing girl? I just never could get the whole iron 4 loads of wash at once thing!
