Weekly Goals

If you had told me how hard it is to get back into the normal swing of things after being gone for a week, I wouldn't have believed you.
Garrett's sleeping schedule is all messed up. Which is my excuse for why I didn't get before, um.... ::cough::... 6:30 a single time last week.

Last week's goals:

• Get the house back in order. The kitchen table is still full of stuff. I keep pushing it back at mealtime :P
• Make a menu plan for the rest of the week. Did it. Now ask me if I stuck to it.
• Start the 30 Day Shred program I got the DVD out. Does that count? 
• Get back on track with freezer cooking. 
• Practice photography. While we were still in Texas, I took a walk with Garrett through historic downtown Hico and tried valiantly to get some good shots. Every time I got the camera focused Garrett did what baby's do best and all my pictures were blurry.

Week after week, I get frustrated with myself because I feel like I'm not making any progress with getting my life organized so I can add more things to my schedule.

I'm giving up. My house just isn't going to be sparkling clean. While I do want my home to be a pleasant place to be, and at least reasonably clean, it's always going to look lived in, and get dirty every day. If I wait to add more activities to my week until I have a perfectly clean house, it just ain't gonna happen.

So with that in mind, here are this week's goals:

• Be up by 6:00
• Practice photography
• Plan ahead for mealtimes
• Tame the freezer monster. Yeah, I still haven't cleaned the deep freezer
• Begin the 30 day shred
• Ride a horse! My dad has a couple of 4 year old mares that are in dire need of training. I've been wanting to start working with them for a while, but just never have gotten around to it.
• Get the house cleaned up I know, I just said I was giving up. But I'm not quitting cleaning entirely ;)
