Mid-Month Reflection

Yes, it is way past the "mid-month" point. But in a few short days, I will be reflecting on the past month. I need to do a brief check-in with myself and make sure I'm on track.

Here were my goals for February:
  1. I want to do a better job of tracking our spending, using our index-card method. This approach works really well for me, but it's hard for me to keep track of Matt's spending when he goes on an errand. We have a new system for putting receipts in a particular place, so it should get easier. [Phew! We're doing this!]
  2. I want to completely organize my classroom (i.e., library, curriculum shelves, and closet) and get my word wall up. [I'm trying. I still have a couples days, right?]
  3. Invite someone over for dinner that we want to get to know better. [Yes!]
  4. Maintain a happy and content life, despite lots of upcoming potential stressors. [Yeah, I'm doing pretty well with this.]
  5. Schedule appointments with the doctor and dentist for regular check-ups. [I keep avoiding this. Argh!]
  6. Undertake at least one home-improvement project (probably getting a consistent fence all the way around our house). [We are making serious progress on this front!]
  7. Run consistently (four times a week) and do 15 minutes of yoga the other three days of the week. [Running, kind of. Yoga, not at all.]
  8. Maintain regular posting on three of my blogs. [Yes!]
  9. Try to consistently eat balanced meals. [Yes!]
  10. Make another craft. [Well, I've been working on my chalkboard window project, but I haven't finished it yet.]
  11. Find a marriage counselor so we can make sure our relationship is as strong as possible before we have a baby. [I've been working on this one...]
Okay, I'm not as behind as I thought. I still have a few days to get as much done as possible...

  1. Have you ever tried Bikram Yoga (hot yoga)? You might find that you feel a greater sense of accomplishment after going to a class, which might make doing it more often easier. Check it out: http://www.bikramyogahouston.com/v09/home.html . I go to one in my home town about 3 times a week on average. It feels great!!

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
