Mommy Musings

I swear this month has just flown by.  I can't believe tomorrow is July already!  I'll be honest, I completely forgot I even made these goals, so I'm a little nervous to see how I've done.  Let's take a look! {one} Finished the first half of my second novel.  I'm 4 chapters in already and if I  keep up my current pace, I think I can get it done.  Done!  This book is split into two parts, and I'm finished with part 1 and have even made some headway with part 2. {two} Donate our old couches and clean out the garage.  I have the Salvation Army coming to get them this week and it could not come soon enough.  Our garage is the messiest I've ever seen it and I'm excited to get it all cleaned up. Done!  Well, mostly.  Our garage is organized better and we got rid of our couches.  The clothes to donate are still sitting in our basement, but overall, lots of progress. {three} Run...at least once.  As I said last week, I'm still una...

Wow... I cannot that it's June already.  How come winter never flies by as quickly as spring does?  We are in the end of the year push, and I feel like I'm floundering with everything going on.  I'm working on being more organized and focusing on the most important things that need to get done.  And what better way than to put it all out there on the Internet to keep me accountable. {one} Finished the first half of my second novel.  I'm 4 chapters in already and if I  keep up my current pace, I think I can get it done. {two} Donate our old couches and clean out the garage.  I have the Salvation Army coming to get them this week and it could not come soon enough.  Our garage is the messiest I've ever seen it and I'm excited to get it all cleaned up. {three} Run...at least once.  As I said last week, I'm still unable to walk without a brace, let alone run.  But I am determined to get better soon and get back out there.  I'm not going ...

It's finally March...wahoo!!  Why does the shortest month of the year always seem the longest?  It probably has something to do with the fact it was the coldest February ever.   Awesome .  But now that that's over, hopefully the end is in sight {though it snowed again today...and will again later this week}. I really liked setting a few specific goals for February.  It helped focus my attention.  Let's see how I did! {one} Workout every day .  I was so close  but missed two days due to being sick.  So totally justified in my book.  I did push myself way more than I have recently, and found even when I'm tired or not feeling great, I can still get in a great workout. {two} Finish editing my book .  Yes!  Well, not completely done, but I edited it enough to share with some friends and family.  I'm starting to get some feedback now so I'll be back at it again. {three}  Go on one date night . Yup!  Skip and I got to ...

I have never been one to make monthly goals before.  Resolutions in January?  Sure.  But never different goals every month.  But I saw a few other blogger's goals for February this morning and I got inspired.  Winter is such a tough time for me {my body was really made to live in Florida} and I have really been struggling this year.  I'm hoping that making some set goals will give me focus and help get me out of my funk! {one} Workout every day .  Between injuries, sickness, and snow, I only worked out 12 days last month.  I really want to get back into the routine of doing something every day. {two} Finish editing my book .  I've done a first edit already, but I want to buckle down and get it ready to have other people read it.  I have a few friends who are going to give me feedback and I want to get it to them by the end of the month. {three}  Go on one date night . Skip and I finally joined the world of hiring a babysitter. ...
