May's 30-day Challenge

Okay, I need to update on how my personal challenge went for May -- The 30-day Challenge :  I started on the 5th of May, so the third was the 30th day.  But I missed two days, so yesterday was my last day. 

I did at least 20 minutes a day of clearing out junk or organizing an area of my home.  Many days more than 20 minutes were spent, but quite often I found myself rushing through my day and then at bedtime remembering that I hadn't done anything that day.  So, when that happened, except for those two days I found myself 20 minutes of work to do.  Once I even got back up out of bed.

On Sunday afternoon Thomas and I cleaned out our shed in the backyard --  a chore that took several hours.  But our shed is now neat and clean and a lot of "junk" has been discarded.  Every drawer and closet in my house is de-junked and organized, and my kitchen cabinets have had a once-over.

I'd like to continue the habit of taking a few minutes a day just to "maintain" an area of the house; or maybe once a week just give a quick look into drawers and closets to straighten and de-junk.  And if I do that I need to resist the urge to look into the kids' drawers and closets, but instead get them into the habit of doing it.  I think the habit may be strong enough to keep me from letting everything get too terribly cluttered again.........maybe.  No promises.  I do have a sense of accomplishment, though.

Now for this month's challenge.  I'm starting today, which is late again, but oh well.  I think I'll do the crunches every day like Jae did.  I may add something to it later on this week.  The first week's for modifying, right Jae?  I have been walking and bike riding with Eler Beth a lot lately, so the crunches will go nicely with that, and although because of the weather and my schedule I can't commit to walking or bike riding every day I can do the crunches!  Wish me luck!
