No, no I don't want to know how many frogs you have kissed in your day. However, if you want to share with me and have a picture then I am more than willing to hear.
I'm talking about frogs that you have in your day. If you have no idea what I'm referring to please click the link.

EAT THAT FROG
I wake up each morning having to face a few frogs each day. Do you know as you do each frog daily, they soon turn out to be "PRINCES". For real! Give it a try.
FROGS
1. make bed
2. wipe down bathroom sink
3. swish toilet
4. gather dirty clothes/start laundry
5. EXCERCISE
Items 1-4 are now routine and have become pure blessings to my eyes and habitual each morning. My heart sings each time I walk into my bedroom/bathroom and see these things done.
ITEM number 5 is still a constant nasty FROG that I just cant seem to swallow. Sometimes, I regurgitate, just a little. But, when I do happen to accomplish this frog and allow it to settle in, I feel wonderful.
Here are the FROGS I am working on.
1. Scripture Study
2. Exercise
I know exercise isn't a frog for many of you but it is for me, now.
I have made scripture study a HAVE to before I can get on the computer. (I can't wait til this is no longer a frog and becomes my PRINCE. When I taught seminary for the youth of the church. I LOVED THIS and it was never a frog!.
What are some of your big frogs that you have to swallow down?.
What do you do to swallow your frogs and turn them into PRINCES!

I have dyslexia. It took me until I was in my twenties to really learn to read. It was so so so so painful as a child to be called stupid. But when I was tested I had the highest IQ in the class. They could not figure out what to do with me.
After over coming this "FROG" I have graduated with honors from BYU, I have my own business, I have become very well read. But best of all I have compassion for others in a way I never would be if I had not gone through that pain. m
ps
It is not too late to do missing mom. Just start today!
I'm swallowing a few:
Accepting my hubbys chronic pain illness going on 10 yrs.
Making time for scripture study. That little "study froggie" leaps out of my mind before I say rivet rivet!
btw I do an easy exercise routine every morning that's 20 min long. no equiptment necessary. Its called shake and bounce (I love it)
Definitely EXERCISE...even though I do it...it's a struggle everyday to get there!!! :- When will it get easier!
Wow..this is a cute idea!!!
But, I would say that my list would be alot like yours!!!
one of my frogs is laundry. With hubby losing his job it's been turning into a prince. I realize how blessed we are to have so many articles of clothing, blankets, etc and it's an honor to launder and keep them clean and in good repair.
I'm trying to look at my frog of housework the same way. I'm lucky to have a home that gets dirty and requires so much cleaning all the time. I'd be devastated if I lost it so I'm being more appreciative of the day to day frog of housework. it never ends..and I hope it never does!
Your awesome! Right now I'm working on all of my frogs, don't think I'll get any down until this baby gets here. For now, we are just building a baby, I guess that is my frog.
I'm with you. I'm trying to read scriptures and have prayer with the babies every morning before I touch the computer.
This is very interesting. I think the exercise monster is my ugliest frog. And then the dishes. What a good goal. I'm sure if I decide to do this, I'll find a lot more time in my day because often I just move around what really needs done because I just don't feel like doing it.
Our lists could be identical. I love having all those things done, too, but struggle with the same ones you do. Why are the ones that are best for us, the hardest to do?
I'm with you on the exercise frog. Too hard. Ribbit! I made progress on scripture study though by joining a study group. We have to answer study questions during meetings, so I'm forced to study so I won't look like a slacker idiot :-)
i loved that, it was really cute! a good idea too!
I'm still trying to swallow down exercise. That's always been a frog I haven't been able to master! Cute post! Have a wonderful Easter.
Exercise and scripture are unfortunately definite frogs for me. I really don't like to admit that.
Other frogs, that aren't really things that need done daily would be going through boxes and cleaning the garage. Ugh.
Have a great Easter!
hmmm I think I have a lot of frogs to deal with and like you exercise is one of them...I think this needs to be my before I get on the computer thing too! Thanks for an awesome video about this - I shared it on my personal blog to day also.
I need to work on a few.
