March Goals

I was going to make a list of all my goals for March but they haven't changed much.  I need to get healthier which I have started but I am still not as good at as I should be be.  I can tell a big difference on the days I drink enough water and the days I don't.  I am eating more fruit and veggies at home but I don't eat healthy enough at work.   That will change.  Plus I need to stick to a budget. Well the whole family does.  We got our taxes done and are waiting for the refund.  That means that we will be able to afford to go to Cali in July.  The question is now do we fly or drive. I am still leaning towards driving.  So booking the condo and the rental car is on my list for March.  Also it looks like we should be able to pay off our final credit card in the next few months.  Well probably closer to May. 

We are still getting rid of stuff and Lee now said I could just give it to good will and now I am thinking we will just skip the garage sale.  I may hold on to it until the end of April and then get rid of it.  I still need to clean out Jake's dresser.  We got some clothes from my sister and they are way too much for Jake's dresser.  So it means getting rid of old clothes and bringing in the new. 

The end of March is the end of the semester.  Still waiting on word on if I can do comps this summer or if I have to wait.  Plus I have some major corrections to the current draft of my thesis.  Which means lots of time to get it to where it needs to be.  But I got some good news from my professor.  He really wants us to succeed.

I am not ready to start this week but at least I only have to work one day and then I have one off.  There are pros and cons to four tens.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...
