Discipline

I've been sick and I'm going to whine about it. I'm just now starting to feel better...I can actually sit up and drink coffee today, rejoice! I have been down and out since Monday (I know, poor baby). My familly has been great, the dog however, has been sitting on my head while I try to sleep on the couch during the day.


This morning I talked to a dear friend of mine that is battling the terrible two's at her house. Which brings me to the title of this post....Discipline. Wow, that's a tough one . . . and I'm not just talking about with our kids! What about Self-Discipline.


I think about all of the times I've committed to start something new: a diet, a workout, being organized, better communication ... and I've failed because I didn't have the Self Discipline to follow through. It's obvious that these are things that I am avoiding, which is why the self discipline is so hard. If these were life or death situations I would kick into gear. I am starting to think that maybe I need a naughty rug like I discussed with my friend this morning for her 2 year old. Maybe if I had to sit in time out on the naughty rug I would make more of an effort ... let's see one minute for every year of age .... 35 minutes on the naughty rug, yep that's a pretty good nap! Honey, we're buying a new rug!
