Goals

Remember this post?

It was about the end of January and I had such high aspirations about getting things done. Well...
That was before I was stricken with the terrible sickness due to the baby growing in me. It left me exhausted and bed ridden. I didn't even feel like myself anymore. I rarely left my house unless necessary and left Tyson to his own devices much of the time.

Needless to say, I hardly accomplished anything at all that I wanted to.

But, it now feels as if I have a new fresh breath of life and I feel wonderfully motivated! I am in the mood to get things done!

I have been following this girl as she blogs about her Week in the Life project. And I am so excited to do it again as well! The last time was in October of 2008, which you can read more about here, and I say it's time to capture a week of our family again. I'm thinking of starting the week of May 9th or the 16th. It's a consuming but priceless way to document your daily routines and family obligations. I have been scouring Etsy for little tidbits that would complement my album.

I am also starting to cook again! It feels good to stand behind the stove and saute some olive oil and garlic and whip up something yummy. I tried out a new recipe, strawberry bread which was very good. Make it as soon as you can!

I actually made may down to my craft room which had been collecting dust for months - literally, there was still Christmas stuff down there- and organized and gathered my thoughts about where to go next. I want to expand the album I created when I was pregnant with Tyson with the details of this new little one's beginning. I want to add some items to Dusty's scrapbook since his life is so dynamic and busy.

We have been so busy in the yard and garden. I want to get as much planting done before it gets harder to bend over. :)

Right now I feel so good and am excited for the rest that is to come. We are starting to plan for the summer. One thing I would really love to do is go see this park , at make it to this place while we're at it.

It feels good to be myself again. :)
