Late Night Productivity

It's amazing what one can accomplish between the hours of 9pm and 12am! 

I had a really unproductive day yesterday.  Sure, we made it to the library for story time and stopped at WAGS on the way home for some cheap Dr. Pepper (4/$10 on sale w/ $.55 off coupons on each 12pk!), and sure, I managed to get Jenny's butterfly wings done.  But I hadn't seen the counter next to my computer in over a week (it was buried beneath LOTS of papers, books, etc), and I hadn't started organizing my Bible study notes for tonight.

When we realized that our shows weren't new last night, J decided to watch the baseball game (I think), and I decided to be productive for the first time all day.  I was tired of moving things on the counter so I could use my computer, so I input all the coupons into my database, printed new copies of my "daily goals checklist" and "week-at-a-glance planner", filed away all the papers and junk that had accumulated, and managed to get my "life binder" organized and put away!

When J went to bed around 9:30pm, I decided that I was finally on a roll and being productive, so I grabbed a Mountain Dew and my Bible study notes and started to put together my lesson for tonight.  I managed to get a good portion of my notes organized in a little under two hours (still have about two hours to go) before I decided to check on the kids and hit the sack.

I crawled into bed around 12:15am (this morning) and hoped for at least seven hours of sleep.  I got NINE!  When I finally got out of bed, it was a little after 9am.  The kids were both still sleeping!!!  I managed to get dressed and was finishing up in the bathroom when Jenny appeared a few minutes later.  (PLEASE let this be a sign that they are going to transition easily next week!!!)  It was a very nice surprise.

Now, I need to finish up my Bible study notes.  Hopefully I can manage to get them done "quickly" and without too many interruptions or distractions!

My most productive time of the day seems to be about an hour to an hour and a half before some deadline!
