Robin Sharma's advice

Five things I'm grateful for:
1) My kids and how much Julianna has improved over the past six months
2) My mom and how much of a support and help she is to me
3) Tom- for being their for my mom and I
4) My husband- because he's gooey sweet with me sometimes and he plays with the girls.
5) Waking up early and getting things done

Today is Sunday, and this is a review of last week:
Sunday, Tom and I went to Fargo and had a really nice time doing the work together.  He fell in love with hot chocolate from McDonald's.
Monday, Jules attended her gymnastics class and mom had a blast with Gabriella.  I went and bought Julianna nail polish afterward and everyone, including Baba, got to paint her toe nails.
Tuesday, we arrived at the library- late.  Ran into the gal from CR and was invited again to MOPS... totally forgot about it when Thursday came! Then, I had lunch with Sim at BK and Jules played and had ice cream.
Wednesday-  Julianna spent the night at mom's and I got to sleep in til 8 on Thursday
Thursday- I rocked the house and got alot cleaned
Friday- Alison and I met up at night, the kids played, Gabi bawled when Al picked her up- after I spent the afternoons at my mom's taping and de-wallpapering
Saturday- Got a few things off the check list, Jules took a nap on the couch, and went to Kholoud's for the evening.  Nabiha was especially thankful for our group in our year review.  Jules was awesome and people liked her again!
Sunday- I'll be leaving for my mom's in 1.5 hours to go paint.  And inshallah, around 12:30 I'll go pick up Amber and meet with Jaime, too.

My goals for the new year are mainly focused on getting up early.  Last night I went to bed at 10, woke up at 6;30 and I feel pretty great.  I now need to work out in the mornings.  This coming week I will wake up at 6am every morning.  I need to do this, especially if I am to be successful next year. In the end, it would be awesome to be part of the five o'clock club.  I could work out, journal til 6 and study til atleast 8 when Gabi wakes.  

I also thought of doing a Bilal Phillips course on Islam and seeing how it works to do from home "online" before next year.
