Goals for the rest of the month

Now that we have our bed here, and all the furniture is in the correct rooms, we really have no excuses to keep us from actually getting things in order around here. :)

So, here are my goals for the last days of March:

3/22-3/26
* Finish picking up main living areas, vacuum and dust
* Follow through on 2 meal-planned days (grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning up after meals)
* Finish thank-you notes and send (96 written, 12 delivered already!)
* Finish 2 bags to put in the shop.
* Clean both bathrooms

3/27-3/31
* Tie up loose ends with previous goals
* 2 more meal-planned days
* Vacuum & dust rest of the house (guest bedroom, our bedroom and hallways)

One other goal I have is a personal goal. I've decided that in order to protect and safe-guard my heart and marriage, I'm going to have to be more careful about not allowing others to shift my goals, or how I do things in my home with my husband, based on opinions of others - no matter how strongly asserted they may be. The Lord has been teaching me that I'm susceptible to pressures coming in from outside influences, and that it is not pleasing to Him. He desires for my husband and I to walk together. Basically, I'm feeling guilty about falling short of expectations, and I know that's not the best.

I would ask that you uplift me in prayer for this next week and a half or so, and to keep me accountable by asking how things are going, specifically with my goals. I'll try to have pictures of each goal to post, if I can. I know people have asked me to use more pictures :)
