May Goals and To Dos


It's been a long time since I've posted monthly goals/larger to-do items. We have a lot going on this month and I really want to make sure my focus is in the right places.  I'm very excited about some of the changes going on in our life.  Things are definitely much different than where we were several years ago.

Personal
  • Finish Chalene’s Diet Beta Test – on Day 3 right now!
  • Run or elliptical 2-3 times a week
  • Yoga from Beachbody on Demand 3 times a week
  • Have my passport renewed
  • Call the doctor about the moles on my face – want them removed!


Family
  • Boys’ First Communion on May 6th!
  • Phoebe goes to a friend’s Junior Prom on May 19th, but I think we are fully ready for that already.
  • Work with the boys on their math fact skills
  • Get Tommy new glasses – can we use our regular eye doctor?
  • Schedule boys’ physical and filling out form for Cub Scout camp
  • Schedule physical therapy for Phoebe’s back (pinched nerve/mild scoliosis)
  • Schedule her follow up orthodontist appointment after 7/24
  • Schedule the AI appointment regarding her excessive flexibility


Scouting (Yes, we are in Cub Scouting leadership for our boys' Pack!  Lots of fun!)
  • Contact families that have not finished requirements this year
  • Figure out who hasn’t received Cyber Chip or recharge that completed it.
  • Plan/Execute Year End Picnic – May 21st

  • Send out emails to all new adult leaders about clearances and training needed
  • Create a gmail account for scouting and setup google drive to go with it
  • Plan summer schedule for scouting
  • Begin planning for next year’s scouting calendar

Business
  • Beachbody business
  • Blog post 5x a week – especially on the Diet Beta Test.  I’m learning a lot!
  • Get up to date on blog reading on Feedly
  • Get to the office earlier - 8:30 is the target to meet.  I will track this heavily this month.  I have a lot of work at the office going on.
  • Ensure I am tracking/keeping organized all the tasks I have in the office
  • Plan with co-worker the July Women in Risk networking event
  • Put together all the tasks and complete them to purchase the Westmont house and get it ready.

Home/Garden
  • Weeding and mulching (need to find a non-rainy weekend!)
  • Clean out the basement
  • Clean off the back deck
  • Have broken window fixed
  • Have upstairs sitting room couch reupholstered
  • Schedule/get estimate for shower tile repair and kitchen grout cleaned


Do you do work on monthly goals and to do list?  How is it going?  I've missed doing it to keep my priorities in focus and accomplishing more!

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...
