Some Goals

The weeks are getting packed this summer.
I'm trying to start a charter school in Loveland. I'm leading and organizing a large group of community members and parents to make this happen. While I'm not doing all of the work (thankfully), I'm finding that being the leader is a strain in so many ways. I'm not discouraged or struggling with this, but sometimes I'm overwhelmed with the task.

This coming week is no exception. I have several meetings regarding the charter school, as well as research & writing to do. This on top of being a mom of two kids eager to experience all that summer has available. The garden needs to be harvested, and we have our usual get togethers, church functions, and work schedules.

I need to balance this chaos with some personal goals. Goals that have nothing to do with anyone else.

1. Sew ONE napkin. I have a huge pile of sewing, and a mind full of ideas. It's one of many hobbies that have long been neglected.
2. Organize "my side" of the bedroom. The piles must go if I am to feel free & clear to get everything done.
3. Get back on track with DAILY workouts. Whether it's 5 minutes or 20--I need to do something every day.
4. Make some DIY cleaning products, face & body products, and breakfast granola. Just another step in being frugal, and using what we have. I'll attempt one of each: a bathroom cleaner, coffee spice body scrub, and a granola base.

That's it. Just 4 goals. Wish me luck.
