July Monthly Goals

My July Goals are short, sweet, and to the point.

Monthly Goals List

1.    Make items for the family reunion auction. Normally I just paint a little something but thanks to the wonderful blogs I follow, I have some great ideas for this year’s auction.

2.   Take my older girls to Six Flags.  J and I are wanting to take Sugar & Arizona to Six Flags over Texas for the first time, just the four of us. I think it’s going to be a memorable time!

3.  Go to the Gym 3 times a week.  This is serious. I’m paying for a gym membership that I hardly use. It’s ridiculous. Maybe I’ll start a 30 day challenge on the blog to keep me focused and held accountable!

Goals for the month of June

Monthly Goals List

1.   Take a picture of my kids every day for the month of June for our Summer 2011 scrapbook. So far this has been the easiest to do because my entire brood is so photogenic!

2.  Try not to cry when I take Sugar to her dad’s for 2 weeks. I love my Sugar and I’m glad that she gets to spend time with her dad, stepmom, and little sisters but I miss her terribly when she’s gone. It’ll be a long 16 days.

3.  Scrub my house like I did when I was in the military. Yes, I was in the military and I use to scrub until there were no water spots on the faucets or dust in the corners. That was before kids and I’ve fallen behind my cleaning routine ever since the sickness swept through our home.

4.  Organize the mountain of books I’ve got. I’m studying to be an elementary school teacher so when I find books in yard sales or Goodwill, I stock up for my future classroom library. Unfortunately this has gotten out of hand and books are taking over my house. In truth, I think I may be addicted.

5.  Make an attempt at tackling the craft closet. My craft closet is ridiculous. Partly because the mountain of books are in there as well but really, I think if my husband took a peek in there, he’d have a heart attack.

Update on my May goals

So it's officially June and in May I made a list of monthly goals. Let's see where I stand on my goals.

Monthly Goals List

1.   Finish Peanut’s dresser!!!! Haha. Nope. It’s still in limboland.

2.  Make Ballerina some new rattles. Well, I managed to make her the cow rattle (see post for details) so that’s a start.

3.  Work on paintings for next year’s Arts for All festival. This goal was incredibly dumb. Like I would have time for that. Although I did get some sketches done.

4.  Ballerina needs new bows. Fail….miserably.

5.  Make summer totes for the kids to take to the lake. I bought summer totes from the dollar store. Yay!

6.  Come up with summer activities for the kids. Done! And “Summer Lovin’ “ has been a huge hit despite the sickness in my home.

7. Organize my lesson plans Fail…again

8.  Organize my craft area (THIS IS A MUST!!!) I love how this goal was a “MUST” but I made absolutely no effort to actually do it. LOL!

9.  Find a good recipe for asparagus. PASS!!! I accomplished this one with vigor and excitement. My family love the dish!

I think when I post June's goals, I will take into mind the fact that I have summer classes going on and five kids to chase after. I keep striving to be an overachiever and end up being somewhat mediocre. What is a mom to do?!?

I'll post this evening with June's goals after I ponder them for a while.

Weekly Goals

Weekly Goals List

Last week, I managed all three of my goals! I made my kids' teacher appreciation gifts, painted the boys' dressers, and finished my finals! I made all A's this semester. Sorry! Needed to toot my own horn. LOL!

Weekly Goals with my apologies!

I managed to complete 1.5 of my goals last week. I made the kids a chore list and posted it on their bedroom wall and I didn't start my Mother's Day gift yet but I bought all the materials for it. LOL! That's a start. I'm sorry I haven't been on the up & up but this is Finals week and then I'll be much more available for the crafting! Yay!!

Weekly Goals List

1.   Finish all of my Finals!

2.  Complete the teacher appreciation gifts for Cupcake & Peanut
3.  Paint the boys' dressers (This was my last week’s goals too.)

Weekly Goals List

1.   Paint Peanut’s dresser

2.  Start my Mother’s Day gift

3.  Make Chore list for the kids

Goals for this Week!

On one of the many blogs that I stalk, the blogger occasionally blogs about her goals list. I have just recently began to think that this may be a very good idea. It may just keep me on task a little better. So I decided to try it today since it's Monday.

Weekly Goals

1.   Go to Home Depot to check on dresser drawer wood.

2.  Come up with a snazzy idea for my classroom treasure chest.

3.  Decorate for Spring (a little late...I know)
