2009 To-do list

Busy, busy, busy... We've gone back to work & I feel like I'm burning the candle at both ends & in the middle. Committees here, tutoring there, parent meetings, book studies, long hours, grading, planning, oh & a little teaching. If someone had told me how little teaching I would actually do...sorry, that's a whole other blog. I love my job, I really do, when I get to do it. Brock's working overtime, still. It takes everything we have just to keep the house clean. I miss Christmas break.

I find that the only way I ever get anything accomplished is to make list. Otherwise my "oh, shiny" syndrome kicks in. (still does even with the list) I have daily list, weekly list, hourly list...so why not a yearly list?
Things I want to do in 2009 -
1. LOSE WEIGHT - we have a tropical vacation in our future (actual destination TBD) MOTIVATION.
2. Try to leave school @ school - this involves more list making & making sure that my list are DONE before I come home. That helps with the physical act of leaving papers, etc. there, mentally leaving it there will be a big challenge.
3. Leave school by 5 everyday - starting tomorrow, I guess. I haven't been successful so far, but I am getting better.
4. Read more grown up books - I just started My Sisters Keeper.
5. Paint the dinning room table - finish the dinning room
6. Buy bedroom furniture - DONE! Pictures to come, probably this weekend.
7. RELAX - This is a struggle for me, my mind is constantly going. Hence the list. I'm not sure how to check this one off when I complete it. I guess this is more of a goal.
8. Go to church & ABF the weekends that we are here
9. Decide about kids...when, if, whatever.
10. Decide about getting my masters...do I want to be in the classroom forever?
11. Get a barn put up outside
12. Scrapbook at least a page a month - better get on this!
13. Run a 5K - Maybe Remember the 10 in April, the 18th to be exact
14. Walk Montana at least once a week
15. Hang out with the girls more often.

Brock's list
1. Beat me at Hula Hoop - I am now the CHAMPION! :o)

I'm sure I will add more, sometimes my daily list has more than 15 things. Hopefully Brock will add to his.
