i have a few goals for this new year. even though in a month or so they will probably start fading away in my mind.
1) ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE, DANA!!!!! I royally suck at this. so my goals are to write monthly to do lists and weekly to do lists b/c crossing things off a list always feels so great! Buuuut I haven't started this goal yet. With Stamp Out Cancer, I am using all my free time running around collecting silent auction items. I don't have time to do anything extra out of my regular cleaning duties. But as soon as thats over, I will buy storage tubs and attack the spare (junk) room. Hazels clothes have taken over the room and they need to be organized my size and stored away. And all the baby stuff-swing, tub, carseat, etc. I am hoping my brother will help me build storage above our garage door and along the walls. Having a small house + a child = MESS! Children come with A LOT of accessories. I just need better organization skills. And it feels great being organized. I just have to get there. I also plan to get rid of more of Tyson and I's clothes (even though I just did) and sell to Plato's closet. We are tight on cash since I'm barely working so I could use the extra money. I need to get creative buying shelving from yardsales and repainting it for storage of toys in our living spaces.
2) Reconnect with hubby. Tyson and I are very much in love, but Hazel takes up a lot of our (my) brain space that we forget about each other at times. So I made little love cards for Tyce. 12 to be exact. 1 for each month. It has money or a gift card and a note to where we are going or what we are doing for the night. I used Christmas money and gift cards we had so I didn't have to spend any extra money we should really be saving. Some months might only have $1 for a redbox movie and some have $50 to a fancy restaurant out of town. This is a way we have a commitment for time for each other at least once a month, no if, ands, or buts about it. Its a good way for me to have time away from Hazel too since I would prefer to be with her every second of every day :)
3) Shit I forgot my 3rd goal!! Obviously it wasn't super important then. It could have been along the lines of no judgement of other people, working out, or saving money. I will try to do all those things too.
I like those goals! Great idea on #2... I'm going to have to remember that.
