I have not quit yet.  :)

Yes, I slipped a couple of times, but I am not quitting my goal.  In my usual unorganized fashion, I have not done a very good job of keeping tally of how much $$ I have saved by drinking water, but our family's juice supply lasts longer these days.  I got to thinking that if my child were doing something like this, or anything, really, and made a mistake, I would encourage her to keep trying.

It does help that I get a "grace day" on Sundays.  That first week and a half was really hard.  Really, really hard.  Between dealing with the everyday stresses of 2 kids, hubby away, and PMS.  But I survived, with just a couple of slips.  Including a frosty from Wendy's... that doesn't count as a beverage, right?  Hubby said it's a dessert.

In addition to realizing how easily drinking water is available, I have become more aware of the general availability of clean water here in the USA.  Laundry water, dish washing water, bath water, plant-watering water, you name it...
