2016 Goals

Right now I don't have a whole lot of new goals. 

1)I want to keep up with training and doing 21 Day Fix.
2)   Our biggest goal is to pay off a good chunk of debt. 20k to be exact.  Lee thinks it is too big of a goal but we will see. (Update 1/4/16) I just did the math on this and it will be close to $1500 a month to pay off not sure that is feasible unless I work way more then I want to)
3) Read two books a month
4) Paint master bathroom
5) Paint downstairs bathroom
6) Declutter (this is going to be on my list every year I am sure)
7) Take more adventures.
8) Run SLC Marathon
9). Play more with the little people.  During the summer I do well but during the winter I struggle to just play with them
10) be more authentic with who I am and what I believe.

After listening to Dave Ramsey today I have decided to add some more goals to my list

One one on one date with each one of the kids and Lee once a month.  Doesn't have to be big.  Could be just taking one kid to the store with me.

Dave mentioned that we should have one goal for each category.   So I have decided for Spirituality I am going to read the Book of Mormon along with the Sunday School Class.  Victoria has a print out she is going to follow that she got yesterday in church and I am going to follow along with her.  Since I don't attend Sunday School I won't get the discussion part.  Despite my issues with the church I really have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and Joesph Smith.

Family:  Write one card a week to family members and rotate through them.

Social:  Attend one social thing a month.  Mom's night out or MOPS or Enrichment.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
