June Goals Recap


Keep in mind, Mercury was in retrograde for most of the month of June.  When that is occurring, plans usually go awry and you need to be flexible and work on researching next steps, but don't sign any contracts or start new projects.  I think that was amply noticeable in how my goals went this month!

Family
  1. One date night per week with DH
  2. Find a YMCA class to do with Phoebe - doing yoga on Monday nights, but she's away now
  3. Work with the children to have less yelling in the house and more cooperation and listening
  4. Plan for summer schedule with kids at grandparents, doctor physicals, dentist appointments, fittings for uniforms, etc. -  Very close.  Finalizing rest of summer schedule today.
Home/Garden/Finances
  1. Have ice maker installed - still missing a piece.  Tom is ordering that
  2. Update the new annual budget file - Done!
  3. Menu plans for week/less takeout in the budget
Work
  1. Develop processes for managing our work
  2. Plan for projects and WRM needs
  3. Clean up inventory of processes we support
  4. Documentation gathering on processes in Livelink
1 - 4 I'm all working on as part of the transition to the new role.....


  1. Pursue other role opportunities in the organization - Hopefully I will find out today the final offer on the promotion.  It's leaving IT and it's working with Digital and Social Media at our company
Health and Fitness
  1. Drop 5 – 10 lbs by end of month - I'm down 3 lbs!
  2. Cardio 4-5x per week - Getting there.  It's been more like 2-3
  3. Yoga on Monday nights - Only got there once this month
  4. Try 4 new healthy recipes this month (one per week) - Definitely.  I've been having a good time in the kitchen

Personal
  1. Post on blog at least 4 times a week - I'm starting to get better at this again!
  2. Catch up on reading other blogs - I'm getting there.
  3. Have iPad screen fixed -  Done on the last day of the month!

Great job, Heather!

I'm also enjoying my time in the kitchen!!!

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...

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...

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
