Peace of Mind
I agree, accountability at night is hard! ;) I will try to be better, too.
Yesterday, it was more little promptings. Mostly reminders about things I needed to do, but for various reasons, always put off. (Mostly because it involves talking to people.) So, instead of thinking, "I need to do..." and saying that I'll do it later, I did it when I was prompted. It gave me so much peace of mind! My brain was so grateful that I didn't have to remember those things anymore.
Later in the day, I wanted to check out, and the kids were getting antsy and starting to fight. I had a prompting just to play games. We got out a board game, and suddenly everyone was happy and peaceful. I didn't miss whatever thing I was going to do, and we all had fun.
I went to YW, and I had felt so strongly earlier that we needed to have this activity, but only 4 girls came. So, maybe it wasn't a prompting, or maybe it was just for one of those girls. But I might never know. I'll just keep trying.

That's so great! I hadn't even thought of the peace of mind aspect, but it's totally true!
