One day down!

So one day of trying to increase the Spirit in my home has been complete. I started my day reading the Book of Mormon (going to try to read it all in 6 months), and then played primary songs for everyone to wake up too. Started off kind of the same with cranky Julia, she doesnt like being woken up, and got better from there. Maddelyn got up, got ready, and could have left for school an hour early. There was no hair drama, fighting me to get ready and not play. It was all business. And she was pleasantly surprised that she was able to have so much play time before school when she got it all done at once.

I went to work out and I found that I had a great attitude (despite the lack of energy that I was feeling) I got in got a great work out in...even pushed myself a little bit with some sprints! I am pretty happy with how it is all falling together. Of course it wasnt perfect. I lost some momentum when I got done with my work out. And then got back into my cleaning and it started to pick up. I still need to work on keeping calm when it isnt all going as planned and not getting frustrated with them following me around making more mess in areas that I already cleaned.

But I feel that I am getting somewhere in making my home a happy home. I really want to set a standard for my family so they know the direction that they should go. I really like not having all the drama that comes with contention.

The most favorite moment of my day today was when Julia wanted to help me place the books back on the shelves after dusting. She was all about organizing them and putting them in the places that I wanted them to go. She kept saying "Oh I have more books in my room....just one second!" Such a little spit fire!
