2011 Annual Goals: What will you accomplish this year?

[PrincessNancy96]

You can do it Buffy!!!!

I have found that my method although confusing to some is totally working for me.. I'm breaking every thing up into segment/groupings that way if I get bored with one, I can move to something else.. I also when I get my photos in and I sort them into their envelopes, I have one of my kids mix up the envelopes so I pull just a random theme out..not just one thing all the time...

Ok, off to rattle DS10 for his basketball game, make sure my shopping list is ready... it's lunch meat sandwiches tonight and I need to get some extra fixings.. plus their is the winter advisory out so I can't be left out of running to the store for milk like everyone else.. However, the reality is.. we are down to 1/2 gal of each... so it's just coincidental we are low!

I don't know, I just lost it on everything this month and we are paying the price!! I used the last of the cash for gas and set aside $35 for the plow guy just in case.

I've lost patience with the kids too. I'm ready to let them take over the checkbook. Apparently I have money to spend on an album that hasn't even come out yet. DS14 wants to pre-order it, why???

We ate out way to much this month, I still need to tally receipts.

I just gave up this month, just threw in the towel but March I'm kicking it back into high gear.

But geesh, some days I want to just run away!!

complain away girl! you are home alone so much too....Jim travelled so much the last couple of years and especially the last 8 months being gone 4-6 weeks at a time....sometimes it was harder to have him home, but would be so happy to have just one more minute with him...
sometimes I want to run away some days too, or just stay in bed and cover up my head, but we have to do what we can for our kiddos each and every day!

Thanks! The last 2 years have been pretty rough. I feel like I'm treading water, I want to start living my life, our lives together and it's just not happening. DH actually said that to his boss, 2 jobs ago (?), He told them I said I was sick and tired of living day to day, that I wanted to start living my life. Yeah, pretty profound moment for me, not sure if they got it though.

The good news is he hired someone to work with him and he starts April 1, so hopefully some of the day to day tasks can go to the new guy and DH can concentrate on teaching.

Not too bad for February! I wrote my March goals out last night. I'll try to get them posted this weekend!!

Lisa & Buffy, to both of you!!!

Thanks Brooke!

I hope we all have a MARVELOUS MARCH!!!

I'm hoping for a Mellow March!
