So, wanna hear what they are? First, I will be joining the challenge over at Mom's Toolbox to read throuh the Bible in 90 days! Huge, right?! I know! It feels slightly crazy but also like a fantastic way to start my year! Mom's Toolbox is offering a whole community of support and I think this act of discipline could really help shape my year.
So, how am I going to come up with all this extra time to digest 12 pages of scripture a day? Well, I'm glad you asked because that brings me to challenge number two- The Early Bird Challenge! Yup, it's just how it sounds- I am going to wake up earlier (gasp)! I know, I know- it's the bain of my existense really to even think about doing this (let alone make a public declaration of commitment to it), but after much consideration and prayer (the latter of which will definitely have to continue in large quantities in order for this to work) I have come to the realization that in order to get organized (and stay that way) and be successful in homeschooling R-Man, I MUST get up before my boys.
Here is what my challenge will officially entail:
I herby challenge myself to wake up each weekday (weekends, holidays and sick days excluded) between 6:00 and 7:00am, throughout the year of 2010.
This means that my first "official" challenge day will be January 4 since it is the first non-holiday, non-weekend day of the new year. It may sound simple to some, but this is a TREMENDOUS challenge for me and it is going to take everything in me to go to bed at a time that will allow me to be successful with this challenge, let alone the actual peeling myself out of bed at that hour part!
I will be blogging all about my journey to health, wealth and wisdom (that is what they say after all, isn't it?! Ya know- early to bed, early to rise and so on...), and hope you will enjoy the show! Although I am not actually creating a meme out of this challenge because I really am just doing it for mysef and my family, I would love to have company on this little quest for self-discipline. So, if you would like, please join me! We can commiserate and share our struggles, and the blessings the Lord provides as we seek to become the (reluctant) Early Bird!

Those are some great resolutions. Best of luck! I'm excited to see where th 90 day challenge takes us :)
I'm joining in! I love waking up before everyone else, because it's so peaceful. You know everyone is cuddly in bed, and there is nothing cuter than a sleeping toddler. You can do it! :-)
