Daily Goals - November 30, 2020

        It’s been a busy week here and that is why I haven’t gotten on. Littler sick, thanksgiving party with the littles, college girl came home, thanksgiving, family drama. Therefore, I have been focused on other things.

       I cooked Thanksgiving meal for my family we had 13 people expected, but only 11 came. It was perfect. How was your thanksgiving?

Today’s Goals

·         Work- I work from 6:30am-6pm today. We are learning about the letter Gg this week.

·         Workout – Last week because I was off a few days I didn’t get up and workout. Time to get back in it. I also started my new waist trainer today. Oh My Goodness. It is tight. Not can’t move tight, but you can tell my body is ready for this. 

·         Dinner – Tonight is dinner with my parents at Red Lobster. Free meal, is a great idea.

·         Set up my goals for the week. I didn’t set up my goals. Which always makes me feel bad.

·         Cyber Monday – Put in my 2 orders. One at Trim Healthy Mama and the other Herbal Zine.

    What are your goals for today? Let me know

November 21,20202

Its Saturday! I got to sleep in. It felt amazing to sleep in and not be rushed to get up. Now sitting and doing my 7 days of gratitude challenge the church sent out. They want social media to be flooded with thankfulness instead for hate. It makes sense this is a stressful time. If we see thing that people are thankful for, we start to think about what we are thankful for. We need love and caring to get though these times. Not hate, we never need hate. Yesterday I wrote about my Amazing loving husband. Today I wrote about my awesome mother. It feels amazing to start the day think about something you are truly thankful for and to tell the world. It makes the rest of my day be happy.  I will upload the post later today so you guys can know too what I thankful for. Feel free to join us! You don’t have to be Mormon, to be thankful. You just have to be you. Use hashtag #givethanks and let the world be full of love!

Today’s Goals

·         Clean – I really need to work on cleaning the house. Thanksgiving is coming soon, time to deep clean

·         Gardening time – Put plants in the greenhouse. I don’t want to lost my mosquito plants.

·         Shopping – Today hubby and I have a lot of shopping to do. Local areas are starting the shut down again. We don’t want to run out of stuff. We will stock up now, and the we will be good for a long time. Honestly, I think that is best.

Yesterday's Goals

·         Workout/Meditation – I got my workout in early this morning. I feel so much better Work- I work for 6:30-5:30ish.  Even the kids are seeming to get into the meditation. I stop halve way though just to see what was going on and the we are either sleeping or laying and listening. This is such an amazing skill to have in life. To be able to stop and clear your mind.

·         I am so excited for our letter F fun today. We are going to learn about farm animals! One of my friends are bring her farm animals over. We are going to get to pet baby goats, and piglets! I’m so excited for the kids. The animals came over! The kids loved it! It was so much fun! They played with them for about 2 hours.

·         Clean – I really need to work on cleaning the house. Thanksgiving is coming soon, time to deep clean. Didn’t get to this.

·         Gardening time – Put plants in the greenhouse. I don’t want to lost my mosquito plants. Hubby took a nap at naptime; family swears sleepy music puts them to sleep too. Then when he got up, he had Friday shop class with my nephew! My nephew looks so forward to this time with his uncle. He isn’t a daycare kid then and he gets to do older things as the kids’ nap. It’s a great way for them to bonded. Have strong loving men in a boy’s life is so good for them. Because something you don’t want to tell your parent stuff so having other people to trust is need. My family is so strong on this idea.

·         Friends – We are planning on having friends come over tonight. Though it might not happen. It is what is planned. Hubby end up canceling. The littles were crazy, I feel like two of them are getting sick and I have something go on. Littles that don’t feel good aren’t fun. So last night because Greys night. Honest that was so sad. Hubby and I now have to do an end of life plans. I want it to be written what happens to me and him so we know what to do.

I don’t have a lot of goals, shopping will be awhile because we have to go to Costco and the Restaurant store, and they are about 20 min in opposite directions from where we live. We also have to then come back and hit Lowes. That will be busy then cleaning will make it busier. What do you have planned for today?

Daily Goals - November 20, 2020

 

Happy Friday! I’m so happy. Hubby took care of the dog last night. Which means I got to sleep though the night. I feel 100% better and even got my workout in. I love Country Heat work out. It just so uplifting. I feel better after it and not counting down the minutes. It is cardio so next month won’t be.

·         Workout/Meditation – I got my workout in early this morning. I feel so much better doing it. The kids are getting use to the meditation. My 7 year old little, is starting to understand why we have to do it or at least that Miss Melissa needs to have 10 mins of quiet. (Which is true 10 minutes to recharge is doing amazing wonders for me)

·         Friends – We are planning on having friends come over tonight. Though it might not happen. It is what is planned.

Yesterday’s Goals

·         Work- I work from 6:30am-6pm. We are learning about the letter Ff this week. We have so much fun with Frogs. We will learn some songs, hop around and have a lot of fun. We had so much fun learning about frogs. We had fun sing the 5 little speckle frog song.

·         Clean – I really need to work on cleaning the house. Thanksgiving is coming soon, time to deep clean. House is clean but not very deep cleaned. I didn’t get to that. We were busy yesterday.

·         Gardening time – Put plants in the greenhouse. I don’t want to lost my mosquito plants. Life moved to fast for this. It is so hard to get outside without littles, when I gets dark early. I hope during naptime hubby can sit with the kids for a few so I can get it done today.

·         Yoga/Meditation – Not getting up took my workout time a way. But yoga and meditation will still help me. I got my meditation in but not yoga.

Again somedays I do better than others. I have 3-6 kids, I have to homeschool 2^nd and preschool and have babies. I also vacuum and mop the house every morning. We have all hot meals though out the day. I have lesson plans, hugs and kiss to give out, outside fun. It is a lot. But I love every minute of it.

Happy Thursday! Today is going to be a busy day. I have 6 littles. And we will be having some hopping fun. Though getting out of bed was so hard. It is cold here in Pa 30 degrees last night.

I didn’t get much of my goals done yesterday. I need to get focusing, but like I said these are goals. I do a million things in a day and somedays it takes all day.

Daily Goals - November 18, 2020

 

Happy Wednesday! I feel a lot better than a I did yesterday. I went to bed early last night. I got up and got my workout in. It was so nice to get up and move. I also had some nettle this morning. Hopeful that boast my energy and mood. I did also pull the trigger and buy the new Trim and Healthy Mama cookbook. After think about what I can control and what I can’t. I can control the food we eat and the healthy we eat the healthy we will stay. Trim and Healthy Mama has worked for me to lose weight and feel better. It is based on not eating fats and carbs in the same meal but you can have both!! I think that is important, because I do not agree with staving yourself or not eating everything. I believe it was put on earth for a reason. This diet doesn’t like sugar, but what diet does. As an American, I know sugar is a big issue in America and that we have way too much of it. It is added to everything. I cook a lot at home and love to cook so this won’t be to hard for me. This lifestyle is also about adding superfoods to you meals every day. I know okra is amazing for your body. I have been adding that to our soups and stuff because of THM (Trim Healthy Mama). I love seeing a learning different ways to cook and get back to ones that I know work. We will fully start the program again in December. Right now, we are going to work though the menu hubby and I agree to, and food I bought. This also gives me time to get the stuff we need for new program in the house. There is stuff that makes this diet easier and healthier.  I like to have what I need ready.

Today’s Goals

·         Work- I work from 6:30am-6pm. We are learning about the letter Ff this week. We have so much fun with Dr. Suess ‘Red Fish Blue Fish One Fish Two Fish’. I have so many fun things planned to with this book.

·         Homestead – Taking care of our animals. Today Skipper has an appointment tonight after work. It will be a run. We want to see if we can brace his leg.

·         Workout- Today I started new workout program. I’m doing beachbody ‘Country Heat’. I love this workout. It is fun cardio. I also started the 21-day Mediations challenge on Facebook. And of course, my 10 min yoga. Having a healthy body will help us over come cold this season.

·         Gardening Time – We are going to take some time today and plant some seeds in the Auqatanks. I love haven’t fresh food growing all year long. This is way I can do it.

·         Reading – Read for 20 minutes.

Yesterday’s Goals

·         Work- I work from 6:30am-5:30pm. We are learning about the letter Ff this week. I have my babies today. We are going to play with Farm animals, sing farm songs and read a farm book. I love having baby time. I love being about to sit down and talk to them. They had so much fun with the animals.

·         Reading – Read for 20mins. I read a lot today. I did a lot of rereading the THM cookbooks and plans. This way I’m ready for December. One think you will learn following me is that I like to research everything I do.

·         Cooking – Going back over Trim and Healthy Mama books. December we are going back to that way of eating. Time to enjoy eating healthy meals. I love the lifestyle, because I feel better on it. I just let it go. Not anymore! We are starting in December so I can’t review the plans, and get what I need to start. Plus, we have our menu planned for November and I like to stick to that. I am so excited, that I ordered the new book when I did because they are now off the market. I got one of the last copies that are printed. Seem to be a think right now with what I want to learn or use goes off market right after we order. Like the garden book Hubby ordered me.

·         Clean- Clean the Craft Room. I started cleaning it. But I didn’t get there fully. I’m not crossing it off.

·         Workout- I didn’t get to my workout this morning. I am going to do 20 mins of yoga to make up for it. I didn’t do my yoga last night it. I was sleepy. I just when to bed early.

·         Crafting life – Design a Glass wood stove cover for a friend. I did work on this, and for about an hour. I couldn’t find a design I truly liked with the stuff asked for. I final settled on one, but they didn’t like it. Now we have a few new ideas I will try at naptime.

There is so much going on, here as always. I love it that way! What are your goals?

Daily Goals - November 17. 2020

 

Happy Tuesday. I’m so behind on everything. I didn’t want to awake up this morning. Depression is trying to sink its teeth in me. When I get depressed all I want to do is sleep. I like to shut the world out. Now I know this and this isn’t healthy. Therefore, I’m trying to be more open about it. It is very hard for me; I hate being vulnerable. What is setting me off? Well the closure of our cities again. Yes, we knew we would have issues come winter. It just sucks. No, I don’t want people to die, but I don’t want them to die from losing everything either. Philadelphia just start the major close down, they are only 45 minutes away from us and asking surrounding area to follow. They have closed; high schools and colleges, gyms, indoor dining (which will be a lot of restaurants because how are you going to eat outside in the snow and cold) libraries, museums, no weddings or funerals, 10% capacity in stores, and if you can work from home you must. They are asking churches no to hold live services. I want to cry for all those people. I can’t imagine being a gym owner and laying off the people 6 weeks until Christmas!!!! Knowing if the get through the unemployment crap and get unemployment, they will only get 60% of their normal income!! No extra money to make it to what they were making, no help unless they go to food banks. This is no fault of the business owners. It’s just horrible. I know our area will be following soon. I know I won’t close this time, because they won’t close daycares, but most big daycares around me will be laying teachers because kids won’t be back, their parents aren’t working. I don’t know any daycare that is around me that is back fully with kids. This might cut my income down even more. I know I might keep 2 kids, though the shutdown. But that is such a pay hit. I’m right now making 40% what was projected for this year, and 50% less then last year. How are business like this suppose to survive? What do I do? Do I give up everything I have worked hard for, love, and believe in to do something else? It is so much. I do know we will be okay we have set ourselves up to be debt free. We can live off hubby salary, but I hate it. I like having my own money. Not that he wouldn’t buy, or get me anything I want, or wants me to get a new job (or second job). I am a spoiled wife. It I don’t like not helping with the bills. This is what is going on in my head. I know I can’t control any of this. I have to let it play out. That is the hardest part.
