Most of my days were spent sleeping or just resting in bed after work, and due to working twice as many hours as I'm used to for two weeks of the month (which I forgot about when I posted my tardy September goals), hardly anything got done around our house. Sigh.
Here's the update:
- Have Awana "Important Dates," contact cards, and leaders' manuals ready to go by Tuesday, September 12th - Success!
- Sleep in at least twice during the month - Success!
- Do my shoulder rehab exercises every day (did I mention I'm recovering from a bad rotator cuff injury?) - Not so much...I got VERY lazy.
- Drink 32oz. of water every day - Success!
- Read the "Daily Bread" Devotional when I get home from work each day - Fail, especially since I kept losing it.
- Read 1 chapter from Proverbs and 5 from Psalms each morning, or before bed - I don't even want to talk about it
- Read two library books - Sleeping took precedence :(
- Get the pantry in the kitchen cleaned out and re-organized - ONE lousy shelf... the top one. :(
- Get back on track with laundry days, instead of just doing it when I have time. - Not even.
- Keep the common areas picked up every day - I wasn't able to do it like I wanted to, but I definitely improved, so I say SUCCESS!
- 4 new items listed in my Etsy shop - Not yet; just two. :(
- Sell 10 things on eBay - I listed a whopping 1. :(
- Start a thankfulness journal, and keep it going through Dec. 31st (to get in the season of Thanksgiving) - Ha. FAIL.
- Spring-boarding off that, be thankful for all the hours my husband gets at work and the abundance of income it's bringing in, instead of feeling sorry for myself missing him!
- Pick up guest room, dust bookshelves and entertainment center, vacuum - nope, and there's WAY more stuff in there now. Epic fail.
- Get
the newsletter ready for printing and final layout done by Friday,
September 21st - Well, it was done...and then I got late submissions. So
I included them and still had it printed on time. :)
- Choose a clubber of the month on Sunday, Sept. 30th and present them with the award on Wednesday, October 3rd at club (we weren't consistent with it last year based on behavior, but we're going to do it every month regardless this year - as a challenge for us finding the silver lining!) - This one only failed because I was totally sick last week and couldn't go to Awana, and didn't have the certificate prepared, and Robert didn't want to do it. :( I was really bummed that he didn't want to do it, but I guess we'll just have to do it next week.
My goals for October are as follows:
- Clean office
- Clean guest room
- Clean vinyl floors 1x weekly
- Vaccuum 1x weekly (twice is tough when you're trying to kick a lingering head cold!)
- Set dining room table with autumn decorations & plates
- Finish 5 more Christmas gifts
- List 5 things on eBay
- Start preparing my ledger for taxes from etsy & eBay (notice I said "start." This whole task is very time-consuming, but since the bulk of my sales happen between 10/1, and 12/24, I'm starting early).
- Email the Newsletter to the church office by Fri., Oct. 26th
- Start making gift tags for Christmas gifts
- Do laundry on Sundays or Mondays and Thursdays
- Start the thankfulness journal for REAL
- Read 1 chapter from Proverbs & 5 chapters from Psalms daily
- Read the "Daily Bread" devotional every day
- Check all Bible Quizzing study guides for errors
- Donate 5 bags of stuff we don't need to Value Village (this will mean going through things...)
- Have Robert help me clean out the pantry & food cabinets in the house
- Work on my Christmas music on both violin & piano :)
