I admit, I have not really felt like blogging or interacting with people much this last week. I wasn't feeling very well, and I had a brownie disaster (that's for another blog post). I don't know about you other SAHMies but the daily grind gets to you.
I have been officially home for about two months now. I have many goals, both short and long term, but, for now, the short term goals are the only ones that seem to be completed. Don't get me wrong - purging and cleaning and organizing are fulfilling in their own right, but the house is still a mess, and I am slowly losing that career edge. For example, this blog was my simple solution to keeping up with engaging with other people, expressing myself, and keeping to me long term plans. Unfortunately, I don't have to answer to anyone, so my motivation is not spurred by a deadline. I enrolled in some event management classes, but have been slacking in completing those as well.
In order to stick to my goals, I think the best way may be to write them down an publish them. This is why I chose to share the blog earlier than I wanted. I haven't written anything substantial in years, so I am sure everything is a bit rusty (no - technical contracts do not count as real writing). With that said, here are they are:
Goals:
Short Term:
finish the event management classes
catalog and complete the clothing purges
donate the clothing
sell extra kitchen and household items
take one group fitness class a week
Long Term:
Get started on the pierogi recipes
read a book a week (might be ambitious)
blog every other day
put together the girls' photo books
We will start with this for now.
