July Goals - Better Late Than Never

I have had all my goals in my head and it's starting to hurt!  This weekend I spent a lot of time updating my To Do list.  I keep feeling like I'm forgetting things, so this weekend I kept my iPad with me and every time I thought of something I should not forget, I put it on the list on my iPad.  I use Awesome Note on my iPad and iPhone and it really does help me when I don't forget to put things there.  The month of July is going to be very busy both school and work wise.  Most of my school assignments this term are due before the end of the month, and with work I really need to work with my managers and peers to put a vision together for our future.  Then we need to start executing.  And I need to balance all this with the family stuff that needs to get done.  Let's see how this goes.  I feel much more calm just writing this down.

Work
1.  Finish Q2 reviews, write up my own accomplishments too!
2.  Move four people to new managers in system.
3. Document vision for both Scoring and Risk Reporting teams. Create LOE for vision.
4.  Fully understand and manage the new requests that come into the team.
5.  Setup regular communications with peers and teams how we are managing our visions.
6.  Manage where we are with the Controls implementation.  Get weekly status reports from the 'Factory' team.
7.  Stabilize HSM platform so it does not impact day-to-day work productivity.

School
1.  Complete readings for all classes - the list is in AwesomeNote
2.  Consumer Behavior - research and put together presentation and 3-4 page written analysis on Netflix case
3.  Consumer Behavior - research and put together paper and presentation for team project (Zulu Blonde beer)
4.  Performance Measurement - write up on Pilgrim's Activity Based Costing case
5.  Performance Measurement - write up for Balanced Scorecard case
6.  Performance Measurement - research and help put together team paper and presentation on Systems Thinking and Corporate Compensation programs

Family
1.  Submit Phoebe's sport physical to school.
2.  Schedule six month dentist cleaning - Phoebe has a form for school needed from them
3.  Reschedule boys' eye doctor appointments for August.
4.  Make sure Phoebe is getting her summer reading done and keeping up with math practice.  She needs a book for the latter.

Personal
1.  Exercise on elliptical 5-6 days a week (started back last week, got 3 days in!)
2.  Lose 10 lbs, but I'll be happy if my skinny pants and dresses fit great on my hips.  I am also keeping track of my bust, waist, hip measurements.  It's not easy over 40 ladies!
3.  Stay off coffee (last week only herbal tea, am now allowing self green tea) and limit wine to weekends (this has been great for the budget too!)
4.  Keep eating healthy. Lots of veggies, whole grains, lean protein (mostly vegetarian), and some cheat food treats sparingly.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...
