May & June Goals

-
I didn't write down my May Goals (which may have been beneficial in a weird sort of way to my productivity) but here are my

May Goals 
{in Review}
(LAST May)
1. Watch an embarrassingly large amount of HGTV 
I mentioned before that we had a free month of HGTV and we're proud to say that we ROCKED THIS GOAL.

2. Act Right Feel Right
There were a number of things that fell under this goal. Things like...
-Stop buying random junk and buy the $10 bath mat that you think is overpriced
-Organize the garage because if I hit my car door on one more stroller/dog/grill, I might burn the whole place down

3. Make one change for the girls
This could've been potty training, thumb sucking or big girl bed transition. We tackled the Big Girl Bed Move and I'm still too "into it" to write any sort of wise or witty blog post about it. Maybe next month week? This move allowed Liza to move from pack n play to the crib and I'm pretty sure I saw her mouth "th-an-k y-ouu" when I put her in the crib.

June Goals
and how is it June already??
(Last June. Elias and Caris)
1. Spend 2 weeks at the beach
Not so much a goal as something to look forward to. It's a hard life, but somebody's gotta do it.

2. Make "real" food
Overall I've taken an unexpected cooking/baking sabbatical because....dishes. Also, Kent has explored his creative side through grilling and cooking or he's been gone (a lot. but I AM NOT COMPLAINING) so Caris and I eat...I don't even know what...cheese sticks and corn dogs. I plan to make from-scratch muffins and a few {complicated, delicious} meals before we leave town.

 3. Clean behind/beneath our sofa 
This is self explanatory and hasn't happened ever in awhile. I recently looked underneath and saw 3 stray toys, a pillow and a pair of clean socks. Insert a few other detailed cleaning tasks here.

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...
