Hoarders?

Went to a class on couponing tonight. It was pretty cool. It isn't something I am interested in myself, but I learned a few things.
First, don't be a shopper, be a buyer. Go with a list. I believe we have discussed my loathing of writing things down. But seriously? I gotta get some things in order.
I can be a buyer. I can make good decisions about things that I buy, and such.
Currently, I am a shopper. I like to walk each aisle of the store, look at most of the departments, take my time, find everything I might want or need. I don't currently restrict myself on the things that I buy.
Honestly? It is a source of contention between The Man and I.
My sister says that her husband works so hard for his pay, that she doesn't want to be wasteful about it. I totally agree with this sentiment. The Man works SO HARD. I feel like I have been remiss in my duty to take the responsibility of being in charge of the household budget seriously, and to execute that duty with  the gravity it deserves.
I don't think I need to change EVERYTHING about how I am. But lots of stuff is getting in the way of making progress. For instance, I am having trouble losing weight because I am horrible at saying no to things I shouldn't eat. Another example is that I have problems with The Man because I spend too much money. I have problems with my spirituality because I don't follow the most basic of requirements. So maybe instead of thinking of all these things I have to change, perhaps I should focus on the one thing they all have in common. Because I gotta tell ya, folks, I am overwhelmed. The thought of all the important things that are needing attention and work in my life is enough to make me want to crawl in a hole and give up. But I can't give up. The things that need change are too important. So instead of focusing on all the things I need to fix, I am going to focus on the one thing they all have in common. Self discipline. Lack of, to be specific.
So let's see what I can come up with. Maybe I need a routine. Maybe I need a more organized life. The thought of doing the same thing every day at the same time makes my skin crawl. But it isn't working the way it is now. Really, it isn't. So a schedule it is. A routine. I have plenty of time to get everything done that I need to get done, and I am motivated to do all those things. So I am going to work on my self discipline.
Wish me luck!
