July Goals


Family
1.    Put together summer schedule with kids at grandparents, doctor physicals, dentist appointments, fittings for uniforms, etc. We’re looking to take the week of 8/18 off to get the kids back into a school schedule and any last minute details.  Need to finalize if we’re going to take the week of 7/28 off for the physicals, other doctor appointments and ordering the uniforms.
2.    Fill out school paperwork for all three kids
Home/Garden/Finances
1.    Have ice maker installed - still missing a piece.  We found it Sunday!‼  We have ice now!
2.    Keep up with the garden: watering, weeding, and harvesting.  We’re in prime garden time of the year
3.    Menu plans for week/less takeout in the budget
4.    Planning for Phoebe’s new room.  First item will be researching the hardwood floors we want throughout the house and what it would cost for the materials and time for Tom to install.
Work
1.    Accept new role as soon as I receive the offer. 
2.    Begin transitioning out of my current role in IT
3.    Documentation of the current state of the processes and their issues for my current IT role.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

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...
