Well hard to believe that it is the beginning of August already.
Well this month is going to look a little bit different. We actually have a ton of stuff going on. Sarah leaves for 5 days for a dance camp. (Hubby and I will be all alone for 3 of those days!!!!!!! ) We have two birthdays. ( Hubbies, and our middle son's) Also I have an anniversary to attend and my niece is getting married. Sarah is usher and I am making her a quilt that she is having everyone sign and doing the baking. So needless to say...
Oh yea and did I mention school is starting back up at the end of the month?
What can I say we thrive on being busy I guess.
Good thing I really enjoyed my down time in July. :)
Oh yes and then there is picking the garden and freezing the produce. Hopefully some canning thrown in for a little fun. LOL
So instead of 3 specific goals I am having 3 general ones with some specific points in each.
1. Work on me.
This is going to include daily bible study, working out at least 3 times a week on the elliptical, drinking at least 1.5 litres of water a day and I am also hoping I can get in the routine of using a prayer journal. I also want to try and keep the house orderly. I know when everything is tidied up and organized I feel so much better.
2. The stuff for my niece's wedding.
I have all the jean material that I have on hand cut out. Today I am running to town to grab some coordinating fabric and some more old jeans from the thrift store. I am hoping to have all the blocks cut out by the end of next week. (Fingers crossed) I also need to do the baking. About 6 cookie sheets of squares and probably 5 dozen cookies. Once I get started it will go fairly fast. I just got to get started, the wedding is on the 24th.
3. Getting ready for our next journey.
School is starting up again in a little less than a month so I need to get the planning done. I have tackled the school area and tidied it up, now I just need to find a home for all the stuff that was just put there. LOL
I am also trying hard to get my cookie dough business up and going. I am going to use all the profits to help fund our adoption. I really hope this works as I am not sure how else I can bring in some money to help. :)
Well here is to the month of August. May it be full of memories, love and laughter.
I am linking up today with Aurie come on over and set some goals for yourself this month. :)
Sounds like some wonderful goals! Enjoy that time alone, it doesn't come around too often! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa. We are looking forward to it. :)
DeleteWow - you have a LOT going on this month too! I have a feeling we will blink and it will be Sept and we'll be back to school. Sigh. Too fast!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll post pics of the quilt!
I have a feeling you are right Aurie. Time certainly flies by doesn't it.
DeleteI promise I will post pics. :)
Wowzas...you DO have a lot going on! Your August will be gone before you know it and you have great goals to get you through.
ReplyDeleteTell me more about your cookie dough business. That sounds pretty amazing.
I sell home made frozen cookie dough. I sell by dozen or of course more. :). All the profits are going to help fund our adoption. :)
DeleteBig goals, praying you enjoy each day :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Tammy. I really appreciate your prayers. :)
DeleteHi Sherri! I'm visiting from the 3 in 30 linkup. I am so with you on your "work on me" goal. I too am trying to focus more on taking care of myself physically and spiritually. I didn't write it as one of my goals but I'm trying to do the same this month too.
ReplyDeleteWe're getting the school areas ready around here too! Best wishes to you during the month of August!
Hi Adriane!! Thank you so much for stopping by. I really hope you come back and visit more often.
DeleteWorking on ones self is so important isn't it. Hope your month is awesome!
Love the "work on me" goal(s). Great ideas; thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwe thank you!! I hope to see more of you in the future. ;)
