* Have a meaningful daily quiet time each day.
* Continue to plan carefully, yet remain flexible.
* Eat healthfully and get enough sleep.
* Keep up with basic homemaking needs so all will be comfortable and as orderly as possible.
* Make lots of unforgettable memories!
Having said that, here are some specific goals I'd like to accomplish this week:
* Spend time in 1 Samuel Bible study
* Make 2 pages for "What Do I Know About My God"? notebook
* Limit sugar
* Keep up with crafting goals for birthdays
* Exercise or walk as often as possible
* Keep up a good water intake
* Get to bed by 9:30 or 10 pm each night
* Post here about the ladies' retreat
* Harvest basil; make pesto and basil butter
* Make a daily time schedule for the things I need to do.
Here's how last week went as far as general goals:
* Have a meaningful daily quiet time each day -- DONE!
* Continue to plan carefully, yet remain flexible -- DONE!
* Eat healthfully and get enough sleep -- did okay with the sleeping part, not so well with the eating part.
* Keep up with basic homemaking needs so all will be comfortable and as orderly as possible -- did okay with this, but it's hard to clean a floor covered with children or a bathroom in constant use.
* Make lots of unforgettable memories -- DONE!
And for specific goals:
* Spend time in 1 Samuel Bible study-- DONE!
* Make 2 pages for "What Do I Know About My God"? notebook -- nope
* Limit sugar -- nope
* Keep up with crafting goals for birthdays -- did a bit of crafting on vacation
* Exercise or walk as often as possible -- nope
* Keep up a good water intake -- not as well as I might have
* Get to bed by 9:30 or 10 pm each night -- nope
* Post here about the ladies' retreat -- nope
* Keep up with Kelly's Missions for Zone 4, the bedrooms -- nope
* Do some serious planning and preparing for our family mini-vacation this weekend -- DONE!
* Harvest veggies; make pesto and basil butter -- harvested the veggies but not the basil yet
* Make a daily time schedule for the things I need to do -- not done.
So obviously I would like to get into a better groove this week, but we will see. More company is arriving tomorrow night and we have a busy weekend planned. I will be doing well to keep up with just cooking and maintaining some level of order and cleanliness! Got to keep that memory-making goal in mind every day!
Sounds as if you are busy busy busy!! Enjoy all those precious ones you have visiting!!
ReplyDeleteBusy busy busy is the perfect description, Arlene! Not sure how soon I'll get to post any pictures, but we had a wonderful weekend all together up north.
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see that you had updated Mrs. T. :) I was really hoping I could get a peek at those grandchildren. :) Enjoy your time. The time always go by so fast. The grandchildren will not remember how organized you were while they were there but they will remember time spent with Grandma. :)~ Nikki R
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. T.! Thinking of you today as you get to visit with your family! Have a wonderful time! Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies, so much. We are having a wonderful time indeed.
ReplyDeleteNikki, I haven't posted pics of the kids yet and don't know when I'll find the time for sure, but I will forward you the ones Carrie took on our weekend up north, OK? (Mrs. Smith, it looked as if Carrie sent those to you, right?)
They are all over at Carrie's right now, so I must go and get some housework done! More company coming tonight!
