Goals - Week of April 22nd, 2012

Wow!

Has it really been 24 days since I last posted?

I ended up spending 2 weeks sick - as in really sick. Like can't get out of bed for 3 straight days sick - I literally rolled on the floor to get to the bathroom for two of those and had John carry shuffle me there the third.  I was home with my kiddos alone one of those days and, honestly, I have absolutely no idea what they ate for breakfast and lunch.  I have a feeling it was the reason we ran out of snack-bagged popcorn in about a day and half.  Fortunately, they are old enough to get their own snacks and drinks, which meant they probably watched way too much TV that day and ate way too much junk food.  They were perfectly fine though and we made it through without any real problems.

I just didn't realize that it had taken me this much time to catch up.

Thanks for sticking with me!

Here are my goals for this week:

Work:

* Solution sets for this unit
* Update the course web page
* Notes for daily classes
* Sample test and accompanying hand-outs for this unit
* Test for this unit
* Stay caught up on grading

School:
* Meet with my advisor (again)
* Minimum of 15 hours of writing this week
Jazzercise:
* Learn 3 new routines
* Set for first class
* Set for second class
* Organize my paperwork (again)
* Clean out my workout wear


Home:
* Prime and paint patches in downstairs bathroom
* Get guest room ready for company
* "Cutter Patrol" for the house (with help from John and the kiddos)
* Finish deep cleaning my daughter's room
Family:
* Family Night - Mark, Apostle
* Craft with the kiddos
* Daily 10/10 with John

Ministry/Faith:
* Continue work on memorizing The Sermon on the Mount
*Treats for John's Bible Study this week

Personal:
* Wash face nightly
* 15 minutes of "for fun" reading each day


We have company coming next week for a long-term stay so this is my week to get the house ready for that and we have the semester winding to a close in a couple of weeksfor John and me as well.  The kids have a ton of school activities coming up.  It's a busy time of year for sure! 

We've had so much to do, but it's been such a blessing.  John has been able to preach at several churches (with the exception of Easter - which was good because I was so sick) and it's been amazing to watch him mature in his preaching ability and the fellowship that he has with all people.  I am continually amazed by his servant heart and the joy he has in serving others.  Ministry is definitely his calling! 

Lord willing, I'll do a wrap up next week so you all can see where I'm at.  Because you know you want to know! :)

Peas from my garden last summer.  We are cold and snowy with a lot of ice right now!  Not my favorite weather.  So, to cheer myself up I am starting to plan my garden for next summer!  I am hoping that I will be able to grow at least enough tomatoes and cutting flowers for both my parents (who are moving 1 1/2 blocks away from us in about 2 months - hurray!) and our house as well.   I am so grateful that we have 1/5 acre lot for our home that we can grow vegetables flowers and (currently) a single tree.  It makes me so happy and provides some very fresh produce for our family.  I love the physical act of gardening, both flowers and vegetables, and I love the taste of vegetables fresh from the garden.  A win-win in my book for sure! The name of the game this week is to eat up as much of the fresh stuff as we can so it's easy to move the refrigerator downstairs for our remodel.  They start knocking out walls and cutting holes in the outside of the house next week and we will need to

  A couple of lovely Christmas treats we received as a gift this Christmas! Yum! So, after publishing the menu last week John and I went through the freezer and refrigerator and decided that we better eat all the things that will be difficult or impossible to eat when we do not have an oven or stove top for a month or two.  That means last week's actual meals looked nothing like the menu!  That happens, I guess. With that in mind, here is what we're eating this week: Sunday, January 10:       Brunch: Cereal, Fruit and Toast       Snack: The last Christmas Cookies       Dinner: Perfect Potato Soup, Homemade Bread Monday, January 11:        Breakfast: Toast and Eggs        Lunch: Leftover Soup        Snack: Yogurt        Dinner: Beef Stir Fry, Rice, Orange and Grapefruit Wedges Tuesday, January 12:         Breakfast: Smoothies or Overnight Oatmeal         Lunch: Leftover Soup         Snack: Yogurt         Dinner: Fish Tacos, Fruit Wednesday, January 13:         Breakfast: Oatmeal

John's Birthday Dinner January 2020  This week started with John's Birthday - he loves crab legs and we typically have them for dinner on his birthday, as part of his birthday gift.  Here in the upper mid-west of the U.S. crab legs are usually on sale at this time of year, so it works out well.   We have so much produce in our freezers and refrigerator this week and we are trying to eat our cupboards down a bit so things are easier to store during the big part of our remodel.  Here is what we are eating this week: Sunday, January 3, John's Birthday:     Brunch: Smoothies, Oatmeal Muffins     Snack: Soft Pretzels     Dinner: Crab Legs, Green Beans Monday, January 4:       Breakfast:  Eggs and Toast      Lunch: Salad with Tuna      Snack: Yogurt      Dinner: Pork Chops, Cauliflower, Carrots Tuesday, January 5:      Breakfast: Oatmeal with Walnuts and Craisins      Lunch: Chicken Noodle Soup from the Freezer      Snack: Yogurt      Dinner: Chicken Lasagna, Green Beans Wednesda
