Just read SHU’s post about her May goals, so, I will be a copycat and share mine! 😁
THIS IS A RIDICULOUS LIST, fyi.
My “goals” always start morphing into a huge task list. lol. I am generally okay with this? As I work through my monthly planning doc, it tends to generate lots of top of mind things…..
I know I will totally not do all of these perfectly, at all, and that’s okay.
Health:
🔷100% compliance on my workout plan!
🔷eat protein at every meal + fruits/veg -> continue. (*I’m never 100% on this, but keeping here to keep top of mind…)
🔷Aim for 8,000 steps daily. (*Perhaps I should charge my Apple watch. Where IS my Apple watch right now?)
🔷Re-start using my tube of Retin-A that’s just sitting here while my face gets older looking by the second. 😜
Fun or Family:
🔷Schedule a weekly fun time with the boys. (*We’ve been failing at this; Ivan and I said we wanted to schedule at least 1 FAMILY TIME on the calendar every week, even if something super simple like, ‘we are all going to be home and eat pizza together for 20 minutes on Thursday night’. Or whatever. We have not yet formally implemented this…).
🔷Take Charlie on a walk somewhere new.
🔷Go to the new bookstore that opened in Sun Prairie! Prairie Pages.
🔷Walk to the coffee shop that is within walking distance of my house to work one nice morning when I don’t have meetings. I’ve been wanting to do this!
🔷Watch another episode of the Vicente Fernandez show on Netflix (Spanish listening practice = an annual goal.)
🔷Discuss ideas/plans for Ethan’s upcoming 18th birthday in July?!?!
🔷See the Michael Jackson movie.
🔷Listen to all the Garth Brooks records before the concert in June! Gotta refresh – I know there are some songs I probably don’t know.
🔷 Follow up on scheduling Ethan’s senior pictures. (*I reached out to someone I want to schedule with my am not hearing back, which is making me worried maybe she’s not taking new clients? Was hoping to just book this person and be done!)
🔷Talk to Ethan about any other college visits….??? Schedule?
🔷 Prom needs for Asher?…ideally sooner than the day of prom, as Ethan did…
🔷 Start the passport renewal process for the boys. They expire in the fall. We won’t be needing them for a while so this is good timing.
Self-Care:
🔷 Read the Bible 8x this month (can be short sessions!) and go to church 1x.
🔷face/floss daily before bed… (confession- after killing this in January and February, I fell off around our trip and have just recently picked back up consistency)
🔷Read in the sunroom at least 4 times. (I’ve been doing this more often lately anyway in the evening with the patio door open, but listing it here because I REALLY like doing this and want it on my radar)
🔷Read Nicole’s book! (Well, finish. I bought it on Kindle for our trip and LOVED the beginning but then got a library book in and pivoted… returning that shortly and will resume!)
🔷 Order a new piano book!
Household:
🔷 Do my April photo clean out.
🔷Catch up on Monarch. (mostly done. Just need to verify a few charges from April with Ivan.)
🔷Find hardware for the bathroom!!! This has been lingering… too long. Need to keep on the list.
🔷Tackle a few more decluttering tasks. I’ve been having good success with listing specific spots on my Tasks list and then chipping away. (Looking at for this month: back hall kitchen closet, under the boys bathroom sink, boys bathroom cabinet, and behind our basement bar.)
🔷Look up details and schedule when we are going to do Asher’s Mexican citizenship thing. (Probably this summer, but want to schedule.)
🔷Some final itinerary planning for next trip! Zion National Park + Vegas in mid-June! Coming up soon!! Big rocks are all done.
🔷Help my mom finish her Storyworth project (omg she has had this lingering for like, years now) so we can order the book! She needs some help to format some pics etc.
🔷 Spring hot tub drain and refill (already added to calendar)
🔷Talk to Ivan/figure out what the heck we are going to do with this big area in our front yard where the grass.will.not.grow. We are currently toying with looking at redoing our driveway concrete + totally redoing a big landscaping area (at the same time, right off the driveway). Need to decide on this….Neither of us are particularly excited by effort into this, but… we really need it.
🔷Get rid of the old glider that we replaced recently. (Currently just sitting in our basement rec room. Will likely just freecycle it, need to post!)
🔷Order a birthday gift for my niece with an early June b-day.
🔷Clothing needs for trip- I think the boys both need some sort of hiking shoe. That should be about it.
🔷Spring yard stuff- get patio furniture out, plant flowers. (*This involves Ivan, too.) Also want a short-term summer project to be cleaning out this one side of our shed (between the shed and our fence) that is all piled up with like, branches and sticks and stuff. (-> will be delegating to the men in my family. ;))
🔷BUY PLANE TIX TO VEGAS. (✅ This is done! Just checked this off the other day.)
Well there you have it! I think that looks like a perfectly short, reasonable list of things to get done between now and May 31st, no? 🤣😆🤣
hahahaha.
Ok, but seriously… I WILL get some of these things done, and thinking through this all and listing it out – even if I will certainly end up migrating some things- is still really helpful to me!
Daily Gratitude:
I am grateful for getting to Ethan’s tennis match yesterday afternoon. At 4:15. 😉 They swept the match and won all sets! Unfortunately it was too bright and I didn’t realize he blinked in the only picture I took. Oh well.
GRATEFUL KAE
