October Goals

-
If you are new here, WELCOME. Recently  I've set a few goals at the beginning of each month as well as looked back at the previous month. 

The idea comes from The Tiny Twig who calls it Goals with Grace which is perfect for September's goals. I'll have a platter of grace, with a side of grace, please.  

September goals revisited:

1. Record expenses and follow a semi budget 
I jinxed myself. I think I spent more in September than I have all year. Record my expenses? If you count a pile of receipts hanging on the front of my fridge then CHECK! 


2. Recommit myself to The {dreaded} Cleaning Schedule

B+ 


3. Complete my weekly Bible Study on time

This should I have read "Complete my weekly Bible Study AT ALL" Having missed two weeks due to being quarantined with my sick child, I fell off the Bible Study wagon. 


4. Create care packages & gifts 
I created a few gifts and meals, but they weren't wrapped in kraft paper and twine like I had envisioned. A-



5. Finish projects

Let's face it, this will never happen in my lifetime. I will pass down five unfinished projects to my children's children.

October Goals
{Keeping it simple}

1. Continue to Bake the Baby
Our last appointment brought up some concerns about the placenta so we are praying and waiting for good news at our next appointment. Meanwhile I'm  not lifting any heavy furniture, just a bunch of chocolate chip cookies. This goal is largely out of my control so this one should be easy!

2. Organize and Store Old Photos
This has to do with our external hard drive failing and us almost losing OUR ENTIRE LIFE in pictures

3. Begin ahem. Work on Caris' Baby Book
Better late than never

4. Celebrate Kent's Ordination 
And a visit from my in-laws 

5. Complete the  October Bucket List 
Coming tomorrow...

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
