Right now since making a goal not a resolution ;) ;) what works for me is my huge American Made (that is the name of the company) reusable water jug.  It holds your daily requirement for suggested water intake.  This works for me for many reasons the biggest one being as a teen and young woman I had frequent kidney infections.  Now that I have started being diligent about my water intake as well as using cranberry supplements I haven't had one, Praise God in over a year YAY. Plus it helps with the weight I am trying to lose.  I am also back to doing my M-F workouts which I hate to admit made me feel much better after being woke up last night by my youngest who decided to stroll into my room at midnight ready to play.  She didn't fall back to sleep till 3am, I let her kick me into the crevice against the wall for a bit then I got up and slept on the couch.  I woke with a start because there was so much silence.....we had a power outage and it was 6:30am. Thank goodness I woke up because if I hadn't woke up the girls' would have missed the bus.  I was rummaging around for matches to light candles then, through drawers for our flashlights.  We didn't get power back until after 7:30am. I was able to go back to bed for a while, then we had breakfast burritos and coffee.  Got back up, cleaned, did laundry, worked on organizing my calendar, and watched part of an Unsolved Mysteries Marathon.  KK got her school work done and just finished getting ready for youth group as they are supposed to be leaving a tad early this afternoon.  She is starting a pre-youth group bible discussion which I think is so wonderful!!!!  My MIL has dinner covered tonight so I get a night off from dealing with it YAY.  Gonna watch Bones tonight, read to my girls' at bedtime, and read some more from my last Jan Karon book.

Wow! You need to get some sleep tonight! I wonder what MIL is making for dinner...I need some good cookin'. :) Love the birthday background. Lisa~
