Ok, I lied...... Spring Goals/To Do

 
 
I said I was giving up on the seasonal to do/goal list.  Well, I lied. I have decided I am giving up on the Winter list only.  Winter is a hard time for me emotionally and just getting through the weeks with no sun and lots of sad memories is more than I can handle sometimes.  Spring is always a welcome site with sun and flowers and rain (I love rain) and all the rebirth of nature.  So, here is what I plan to accomplish this Spring....
 
 
 
 
Spring To Do List:
 
 
Dye Easter eggs before Easter this year.  This should be easy but hasn't happened in years....
 
Get back on a money saving/frugality plan.  I used to be pretty awesome at this, but somehow we started living like we were the Kardashians (well,not really).  I will probably not coupon simply because of the time requirement, but will start ad matching and eliminating the fluff that we don't need. I have fallen into "keeping up with the Jones" and that has not been good.  I may even make some frugal posts for the blog.
 
 
Walk more and eat less sweets. I am even looking into the Plexus plan.  I need some help with cutting sweet cravings.  Back in the days of being skinny, I never craved sweets.  After children, it was insane.  I think it is hormone related, but any help getting past it would be appreciated.  I will let you all know what I decide.
 
Watch Friday Night Lights on Netflix.  I LOVE me some high school football and keep being told to watch the show.  I may just give into another guilty pleasure. 
 
I reviewed a book this past winter and really enjoyed it.  I am planning to start another book for review.  Please follow along and I promise to give an honest review.  I am a reader, I love that my job includes books and promoting a love of literacy.
 
Get my home and family back in order.  We have been off the charts unorganized and it shows in our home, grades, and stress levels.  I know God is leaning me in a certain direction, I know I am resisting.  I know this will end up God's way one way or another....
 
 
So, we will see how this list goes.  Some things will be easy to check off and others will require some more effort.  I would love to hear if you all do a seasonal goal list and how it works for you :)

    Hey, I totally love lists. I am like the listing Queen. Do I do everything on my list? No, but I sure come a lot closer than if I did not write down my goals at all. In fact, there is hardly a goal I've made that wasn't written down.

    My kids are grown, but my husband still wants dyed Easter Eggs! If I do them, it is usually the Saturday before Easter ...

    I'm with you on a lot of your goals. I've wondered about Plexus myself. Let me know what you decide!

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...
