Today's task was to document my day. Not cleaning first, just our day to day stuff. Just an fyi, these pics were all with the phone camera, so not real high quality, but you get the point!

Journaling questions:
1. Was it easy to devote intentional time to your child today?
Yes, it's been easier if I have been intentional about it. Plus, with meeting the playdate, we had lots of time together, and got a new book to read as a gift. It was a Saturday, and my turn to get up early with Jacob, so we had lots of time together.
2. What things were distracting?
Lots!! Messy house, going out to dinner for Mike's bday, the pull of wanting to work on Christmas projects, laundry, must i go on??
3. Is there a slot in your schedule to make the 10 min chunks of time a priority? WHere?
Yes. Really easy on the weekends, but on weekdays, I am going to try to do at 5:30ish. Basically, when we get home, and after i have popped dinner in, and have at least 20 min before i need to mess with dinner again.
Day 4 will be today.I didn't do on Sunday, I was too distracted with spending time with the family, and never got on the comp to read the day first.
