Goals - Week of April 21, 2013

Wow, it's been a while since I've been posting consistently.   I started the year with such great blogging plans and, well, then, life happens.  **SIGH**

Same thing with goals - I mean to post every week, and even though I've been doing quite well with making my lists and getting through them, nothing much happens here on line.  Now that I'm finally feeling better again, I'm hoping to get back to more of a regular blogging schedule.   I guess the down side of having two chronic illnesses and battling shingles too is that some things just don't get done!

Anyway, here's the goals lists for the week:

Work:
* Notes for the rest of the semester - I can't believe we only have a few weeks left already.
* Catch up my grading again.
* Submit updated current grades for my students

School:
* Meet with my adviser
* Put finished on a paper I'm writing

Jazzercise:
* Teach 4 classes this week
* Learn 3 new routines
* Attend one additional class this week
* Email my class owner about a couple of things

Family:
* Attend a friend's birthday party - Sunday
* Piano lessons x2 - Monday
* Swimming lessons x2 - Monday
* Dance Lessons x2 - Thursday
* Family Night - Friday - Celebrating Mark, The Evangelist
* Dance Lessons x2 - Saturday
* At home Date night with John - Saturday - play a board game, dessert
* Write out and send out invitations for the children's birthday parties (we're doing two parties this year - one for boys and one for girls)

Home:
* Daily Chores
* Do one thing per day to get our house "in shape" (I have a list of things to do, so I'll do one per day)
* Finish all the Ironing again
* Mend 3 things

Faith/Ministry/Church:
* Fill out the paperwork for our church transfer
* Drop off Sunday school teacher gifts (we have to miss Sunday School this next week)

* Write our Compassion International Child

Personal:
* Lunch with a friend on Tuesday

Frugal Friday - The End of 2016

Another spectacular sunrise - we were so very spoiled by these this year!  I enjoyed every one of them! Nothing like completely forgetting I had a blog for month, right?  I didn't forget about everyone - I promise.   December ended up being ridiculously busy and very spare moment was spent with family and friends and on grading, as the term ended not that long ago.    My parents were visiting for 3 weeks (they returned home to sunny and slightly warmer Texas yesterday) and the children had their Sunday school program, their school Christmas program, and a school fun-day to end the term and John had 3 funerals and two graveside burials.  Then there's always the rush of Christmas and all the services that comes with being a Pastor's family.  I am very, very ready for a quiet start to the new year! I have some New Year's posts already planned and partially written, so look for those next week.  In the meantime, here are som...

Menu Plan Monday - Week of January 17, 2021

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 outsid...

Menu Plan Monday and a Little Shopping

Image
Our CSA boxes have looked pretty much like this the last two weeks - though in varying amounts and this last week we got green onions too.  Here we have in the front row: Broccoli, raspberries, green & purple beans, and peas.  Back Row: Lettuce, cucumbers, cauliflower, a mutant cross between a zucchini and a patty pan squash, green and purple kohlrabi and a clove of garlic.  We'll see what we get this week!  I blanched and froze the peas since we have a ton of those and we can't seem to eat through them fast enough.  I have a whole head of cabbage leftover from a few weeks ago in the crisper drawer too.  Two weeks ago we got 5lbs of cherries - they're all gone now (I was hoping to freeze some) having been eaten by my parents and my children!  I can't eat cherries so I was okay with that! I went to the store this weekend with a gift card and spend $22 on milk, peaches, apples, carrots (those aren't ready yet in the garden) and some fr...
