September Goals

Goals are so difficult right now with everything going on.  A funeral, house being built (as well as shed, barn, storage, maybe 2nd garage/shop?), homeschool, business and aftermath of Harvey.  There are gas shortages, food shortages, all kinds of shortages, but we are making it through.

I am going to set some lofty goals again - why not?  If they come to fruition - wonderful, if not, no big deal.

Here goes:

New House Related:

1.  Set new appointment with permaculture guy. If he will ever get back with us.  We may have to find someone else because we need to get a plan for the yard grading.
2. Take one day to clean up the area around the house.
3. Refinish Front Door - A MUST!
4.  Begin work on Roll Top Desk
5. Purchase all lighting - A MUST!

Kids/Family Related:

1. 1 Social Event for kids - teen dance at the end of September.
2. Homeschool at least 15 days this month.  We have field trips, science classes and a funeral, so this will require tenacity.
3. Set a physical education schedule for family, even if it is simple.
4. Pick up and store beef side at rental.  At least we have food coming in.
5. 2 dates with DH
6. 1 adult social visit
7. Start moving items from temporary shed to our garage/shop to cut down on expenditures.

Me Related:

1. Lose 3 pounds.  I am starting small and slow.
2. Some form of exercise daily, even if it is back exercises.  I am in lots of pain and need to get better.
3. Take planner one step further and schedule processes for goal completion.
4. Finish 2 Tshirt Quilts
5.  Make hooded blanket and stuffed lamb for 7 year old Harvey victim.
6.  Make wolves for my Father-In-Law's family with his clothes.
7. Talk to my sister once per week.
8. Message/email/tell 5 people of my gratitude of them.
9.  Journal daily gratitude
10.  Start 100 day of photo of something that makes me happy.  I reserve the right to do multiple on one day because of stress.  However, when I start, it will be 100 pictures in 100 days.


There are my lofty goals.  Yes, I am putting more into the Me Related category, but that is the category that I have control over and it also the category I am most likely to put off.  Sad, but true.
