I know what you mean. The whole family is sick right now and I called in sick to work this past Friday (first day back after the holidays). I go back on Monday and all I want to do is sleep instead. I force myself out of bed knowing that in just 15 hours, I'll be back under the covers. When I started the program, all I did was sleep. I started the program during my last vacation last year. As I look back, I realize what a waste it was to spend it all in bed. The longer I stayed in bed, the more groggy I was during the day. I had to set a time to go to bed and a time to wake up and I had to force myself to stick to the same time every day (even on the weekend). It's tough, but as you get thru the program, you'll WANT to get out of bed in the morning (most mornings anyway LOL)
I have such a hard time with staying on task. When I am not completly sleep deprived from waking up every 2 hours to a sreaming baby who wants to stay up for 5 hours I have a hard time keeping my focus on what needs to be done. one minute I picking up the toys in the living room then I have to take something to the kitchen so I get focused on dishes. My daughter starts crying wanting attention I stop with the dishes and run to the bedroom to make the bed and pick up laundry and nothing gets done. The whole I am picking up my daughter pull what I put up out I can't win.

Emmas_Mommy, don't be too hard on yourself. By reading how your day had gone, you did do things. Maybe not what you intended, but sounds as if you have an infant. If so, their schedule doesn't always gel with ours. And more times than not the baby's schedule will win. They are dependant on their parents. I'm having a hard time focusing and I can't blame it on anything but myself. I get frustrated when doing the relaxation because as I'm suppose to be relaxing listening to the tape, my mind is racing of things I should be doing. Let's all try to be more patient with ourselves...it didn't take 2 weeks to get this way, right
