As expected, this month flew by, and I’m glad I didn’t attempt to set any goals by the week! However, it was helpful to have these goals in the back of my mind and a plan to report back how they went. Well, the results are:
- Pray Common Prayer daily: this went really well for about two weeks and then more or less dropped off.
- Exercise at least 3 days/week: I have 9 check marks on my calendar, so not quite 3/week, but better than nothing!
- Meal planning: The first week Esther and Josh were here I was a kitchen champ, the second week went okay, and this past week has been a flukey mess. Last night may have ended in tears, which Matt was very gracious to listen to and give me the space to figure a lot of stuff out. Like, I’ve been really prideful in wanting to handle everything myself when it obviously overwhelms me and there are three other adults in this house who just need me to let them help. Sigh.
- Track budget to end of month: I just paused writing this post to finalize our grocery total, which is what I was most concerned about. Matt’s credit card was demagnetized for a good part of the month, so I don’t have all the info I’d normally have, but I’m happy to at least know that our grocery budget is reasonable!
- Finish making a baby blanket: Funny story – I can’t find it. So, I’m going to let that goal drop until I come across wherever the heck this 3/4 blanket is!
See how fun goals are? Even if they’re not fully met, they at least set a mark to strive for, and I definitely plan to set goals for June!
