Accountability

First of all, I have lost 13 pounds.  Yeah me!!!  Weight Watchers is working so far.

I woke up this morning in a "get er done" mode.  The family has to watch out for that because I tend to be bossy and I want things done.  We are in the throws of teenage laziness.  I ask for something to be done and I get the eyes rolled or the task never gets finished.  I have to be better about holding the girls accountable for their chores.  The big picture is, I have to not take their response personally and stick to my guns.  I am hoping that this will rub off on their school work too.  When they do a "half job" or don't do their best, it shows and it drives me nuts. Oh the joys of being a parent of teenagers.

As to my day, it will be filled with lots of work.  We are trying to get things ready for Becca and I to leave next week.  We are going to Joplin, Missouri for the week, with our church youth group, to work with Habitat for Humanity.  This seems a little strange when looking at all of the devastation here in our own town, but I think it will mean a lot to the people of Joplin to know that we truly know how they feel.

For now, I am off to "get er done".
