Daily
-One hour of reading and/or learning activities with Lulu. Thanks to educational apps on the Kindle Fire and her MobiGo, we've been doing OK with this one. I need to do more one on one with her though.
-Fill out E-Ray's task chart so he can earn his allowance. Yep.
-Limit kids' electronics time to 2 hours per day. This includes TV, video games and computers. I need to work on this again. Kindle Fire, Computer, TV.....at least most of it is educational.
-No more than one "sugary" snack per day. (candy, fruit snacks, cookies, etc.) We're actually doing really well with this.
-Eat fruit AND veggies every day. Doing OK with this one. Kids need more veggies, I need more of both.
-Kids in bed by 8:00 (8:30 on basketball nights), myself to bed by 10:00 and up at 6:00 to work out. No more sitting on my arse wasting the day away on the computer all morning waiting for my motivation to kick in!!!
Got up and worked out at 6:00 this morning. Up past 10:00 tonight. Getting there!!!
Weekly
-Stick to weekly cleaning and maintenance schedule. I have the cleaning schedule written out, I haven't started following it yet.
-Work out at least three times per week. Worked out today and once last week. Not enough...
-Eat out no more than once per week. Easy peasy now that the hubs is gone.
Monthly
- Check out local nature trails with the family when the hubs is home, or with friends when he isn't, at least once a month depending on the weather. We have not done this yet this month. Probably won't.
- Go to church at least once per month. Did this last month. Have not been yet this month.
- Go to one new place per month. Done for January (Great Wolf Lodge)
- Buy birthday cards for the month and first week of the next month at the beginning of each month and address and stamp them immediately. Done for January.
-At the beginning of each month, upload photos from previous month to Snapfish. Done for January.
Short Term
- Get Lulu potty trained. She has been doing really well. A few accidents here and there, but for the most part, she does it all on her own, and on the big potty at that. I am very happy with her progress.
- Update meal plan. I need to come up with a meal plan for just the kids and I since Hubs will be gone most of the year. This is a work in progress. I printed out a bunch of new kid friendly recipes to try.
- Create a daily/monthly activity schedule Done! Now I just need to follow it.
- Dry clean wedding dress.
Yes, our wedding was 6 years ago and I still have not gotten my wedding gown dry cleaned. This is why I must set goals for myself. I am the ultimate procrastinator! I am trying to wait to for a Groupon or something for this.
- Get Spring consignment sale items sorted and counted.
- Make a plan for genealogy research and organization. Focus on one surname at a time and don't get sidetracked. I haven't come up with a precise plan, but I did a lot of genealogy work this weekend and made some updates to my genealogy blog that I've been wanting to do for a long time.
Long Term
- Get out of debt.
- Continue working on mine and my husband's genealogy. This is a lifetime of work. It is so fascinating and worth every second spent on it. I hope that my children and their children will someday take an interest in where they came from.
- Learn to speak German and Italian with my husband and visit the places where our ancestors came from (Germany, Switzerland, Italy).
- Go back to school next year and earn my bachelor's degree with at least a 3.5 GPA.
- Run in a charity race.
