Hey!  Well today was busy, I ended up working late again.  ARGH!!  I have been going into the office earlier and thinking I will come home early.  I never seem to make it out of the office before like 5:45.  So I have a few hours built up, so I might be able to work a part of day tomorrow. 


Tonight after I got home I fixed a quick supper of Chicken and Noodles.  I then ran to the liquor store to pick up wine of tomorrow.  Tommy was very clingy to me tonight, so that was all I managed to get done.  Once Tommy was in bed I worked again!!   I have a couple of cases to transfer and I need to finish updating paperwork and write dictation, etc.   I am able to complete this at home in about 2 hours.  At the office with all the distractions, phone ringing, people coming to talk to me, etc..it took me all day and I didn’t get it done.  I think I will plan on working from home one day next week and just work on writing plans.  My job has way too much paperwork!!


I have been meaning for every to talk about my resolutions, but darn if I ever find time!! 


My Goals for the year, really focus on a number of areas:


1.  Taking Care of Self – This is my main area of concentration.  Being a wife, mom and social worker, I am taking care of some one at every moment of my life.  I am terrible about taking care of my self at all!!!  I currently have both of my medical condition under good control (asthma and Interstitial Cystitis, (IC)).  But I will forget to take medications, not follow my diet, drink too much pop, etc, when I am overworked and stressed. 


So my goals in this area are:  drink more water/less pop, exercise, take meds daily, bed by 10:30 and take time for me daily (read, hot bath, cross stitch, etc).


** considering I am sitting here at almost 11:30 at night and have a can of Diet MT. Dew in front of me, I might not being too good at this yet!!***


2.  Home – Keep up with Routines/Laundry, etc.


** Actually I am doing well here, I have been caught up with laundry all year so far!  I find it works well to switch laundry around every evening and then fold the dried load in the morning.  I grab the laundry after I curl my hair and fold it on the kitchen table while Tommy eats Breakfast.  This has been working well!   I have also been making sure the diaper bag is all ready for the morning and our clothes are laid out the night before! **


3.  Friends/Family – Actually *Make time for my friends!!  I spend every free moment with my hubby and kids. I would like to strengthen my current friendships.  Keep in touch with out of town/state friends more than a newsletter at Christmas!  I am pretty happy with my relationship with hubby and my children, they have always been a priority for me. 


Goals in this area:  Send a birthday card *on time* to all my family and friends, Write friends a letter/email once a month, have one activity a month that I will do with friends!


**  I am doing ok in this so far too, I am having my “sex in the City” party tomorrow and today I wrote a card to a friend over lunch at work. **


Ok…I better head to bed, since I am up past my bedtime.  I will let you know my progress on my goals, hmmm…maybe weekly or monthly.  We will see how bored I get with it!


Remember, It’s almost FRIDAY!!   YEAH!!!

  1. I really enjoyed reading through your list.  I can really relate to some of these items, and should have them on my own list everyday.  Good luck with it all, even though I KNOW that you’ll do well!!
