Goals for week beginning 9/16/2012

Bend in the road, Pittsburg, NH

The next few weeks I need to keep my goals very flexible, as we will have a house full of visiting family, and we have many fun things planned for the time together.  Although we have planned carefully, other opportunities and challenges are sure to arise during the three weeks.  I would say that my main goals during the time will be these:

*  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
*  Keep up with Kelly's Missions for  Zone 4, the bedrooms
* Do some serious planning and preparing for our family mini-vacation this weekend
*  Harvest veggies; make pesto and basil butter
*  Make a daily time schedule for the things I need to do.



And here is how last week went:
*  Spend time in 1 Samuel Bible study -- nope.

*  Make 2 pages for "What Do I Know About My God"?  notebook -- nope.
*  Limit sugar -- did okay with this.

 *  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) -- DONE!  (I bought one but am not thrilled with it, so will eventually be making one.)
*  Exercise 5 to 6 times -- nope; felt awful due to a cold, exercised once.
*  Keep up a good water intake  -- DONE!

Our family arrives tomorrow, so I'm off to get into a very busy day!
