Goals for week beginning 9/9/2012

Last week was pretty much a total loss as far as my goals went.  There is still so much to do before our family arrives a week from tomorrow.  Here's what I'm hoping to do this week.

*  Spend time in 1 Samuel Bible study
*  Finish Sunday School lesson 1 for new study
*  Make 2 pages for "What Do I Know About My God"?  notebook
*  Limit sugar
*  Keep up with crafting goals for birthdays
 *  Make an ironing board cover (or buy one if I can find one to fit the over-the-door ironing board I have; I was assuming I wouldn't be able to find one)
*  Exercise 5 to 6 times
*  Keep up a good water intake
*  Get to bed by 9:30 or 10 pm each night
*  Post regularly in one or both of my blogs
*  Keep up with Kelly's Missions for  Zone 3, the bathrooms and stash-and-dash room
* Do some serious planning and preparing for our family's visit in mid-September
*  Clean several closets; free up some drawer space in dressers and some cabinet and linen closet space
*  Weed garden and keep up with harvesting vegetables and herbs
*  Make a daily time schedule for the things I need to do.


And here is the sad truth about last week:


*  Spend time in 1 Samuel Bible study -- DONE!
*  Finish Sunday School lesson 1 for new study -- not finished but close to DONE!
*  Make 2 pages for "What Do I Know About My God"?  notebook -- didn't happen.
*  Limit sugar -- did okay with this.
*  Keep up with crafting goals for birthdays and Christmas, plus maybe a dress for a granddaughter -- got some crafting done but not as much as I'd have liked.
*  Make an ironing board cover -- nope.
*  Exercise 5 to 6 times -- only managed once.  Pathetic.
*  Keep up a good water intake  - DONE!
*  Get to bed by 9:30 or 10 pm each night -- did okay with this.
*  Post regularly in one or both of my blogs  -- posted once, in one blog.  Sad.
*  Keep up with Kelly's Missions for  Zone 2, the kitchen -- nope.
*  Decorate for fall -- DONE!
*  Do better at staying in touch with friends and faraway family -- did pretty well with this.
* Do some serious planning and preparing for our family's visit in mid-September -- did okay with this.
*  Clean several closets; free up some drawer space in dressers -- nope.  You know the sort of house project where everything you have to do hinges on getting something else done first?  That's what this is, and it hasn't happened.  But it has to happen this week.
*  Weed garden and keep up with harvesting vegetables and herbs  -- kept up with harvesting but not weeding.
*  Make a daily time schedule for the things I need to do -- DONE!

It goes without saying that I'm hoping for a more productive week starting today.  If you happen to think of it, please do pray for me that the necessary will be accomplished.  I had a busy and tiring weekend and now feel that I'm coming down with a cold, so my energy level isn't what I'd like it to be.

  2. I will be praying for you Mrs. T!! :) I hope that the cold decides to stay away. Why does it seem that when we HAVE to get a certain amount of things done either we or someone we NEED to take care of get sick?? I know how you feel though. It seems that a lot of the projects I want to start I can't until I finish another FIRST. I end up getting NOTHING done. Hoping that Lord willing I change that soon. :)~ Nikki

  3. Thanks so much, ladies, for the prayers! I do appreciate them very much!! I am feeling a bit better today and have some more energy, so far at least.

    Nikki, as you can tell, I don't like the sort of projects that hinge on something else getting done first. It seems like that "must be done first project" is always a daunting or time consuming one. I hate that because, like you, it keeps me from getting started. I'm picking away at it and seeing some progress though ...
