Image courtesy the Nikki McClure calendarSeptember has come and gone. It seems so short and long simultaneously. Matt and I traveled to Indiana for a wedding at the beginning of the month, and that seems so long ago. However, I barely had time to accomplish everything on my to-do list this month. Now that I'm looking back over my calendar, I realize why! I was only home for one weekend this month. Egad!
Here are the intentions I set for myself at the beginning of the month:
What's on the docket for October?
This month, I'm going to plot these things out on my calendar right now. I felt like I saved everything until the end last time!
Here are the intentions I set for myself at the beginning of the month:
- Work on Halloween costume: Yes! My crystal-ball reader (with my pregnant belly as the ball) is almost finished. I'm done with the skirt, the shirt, the turban, and most of the jewelry. I just need to sew the fabric that will wrap around my belly (which I can't do until Halloween gets closer), and I need to borrow some bangles from someone. That's it!
- Organize the bedroom: I tried to work on it this weekend (which was technically October), but we really need to get a new bookshelf for storage in the closet first. I dragged Matt to IKEA and we bought a bookshelf, but it turned out to be the wrong size. I started working on the kitchen instead.
- Learn about taking care of an infant (breastfeeding, sleeping, bathing): Yes! I've been working on this whenever I have some time to relax before bed.
- Attend a conference for public Montessori teachers: Yep! My presentation went well.
- Travel to Indiana for an awesome wedding: Hooray!
- Work on birth announcements: Yep. I started the collage in Snapfish, bought the labels, started the Excel sheet for all the addresses, and did the graphic design for the label.
- Relax and rest: Yes! I've done a really good job of walking for nearly an hour and taking a nap for nearly an hour almost every single day. I'm trying to make plenty of room in my life for my pregnancy.
What's on the docket for October?
- Organize the bedroom
- Learn about infancy
- Complete holiday decorations
- Make Matt's birthday present
- Travel to Dallas to make a presentation about Montessori
- Travel to the Austin area to watch Matt run a marathon

- Spruce up our front porch
- Execute the second Purposeful Conception Course
- Buy a new desk
- Relax and rest
This month, I'm going to plot these things out on my calendar right now. I felt like I saved everything until the end last time!

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.
