We were very fortunate to be able to go to South Dakota for a needed family vacation this last week. We had been planning on going to South Dakota all summer, but had planned to go in August. After finding out our oldest needs a tonsillectomy the week we were planning on going, we changed our plans.
With the change of vacation plans, I had to change up my goals but that was fine with me. We had a great time sightseeing and after traveling for 10 hours yesterday (we made a few stops on the way back home) I am very happy to be home and hopefully back in a routine and working on our goals.
Last Week’s Goals:
Intentional Relationships (Marriage/Parenting/Mentoring/Friendships):
1. Have a date night and send Jason a love note
2. Get all appointments and preoperation information taken care of (oldest is having a tonsillectomy August 5th). Everything except for precertification with insurance. I’m adding that to this week’s list!
3. Enjoy the family time we have scheduled.
4. Prepare for upcoming trip to South Dakota.
5. Read 10 books aloud to kids, visit library, make puffy paint.
Intentional Homemaking:
6. Find out what I will need to buy to refinish my antique buffet. I also have a vanity to do…what was I thinking?
7. Organize home building binder.
8. Go through oldest clothes and see what we need to buy before school starts
Intentional Self-Care:
9. Stay on track with Weight Watcher’s points
Intentional Blogging:
10. Write 3 blog posts
