My goodness! I did not think I'd go a whole week without posting here and I went even longer! Sorry! This last week was my husband's first week at a new job. Longer hours and a much longer commute have reduced the amount of family time we have in the evening. It also reduces the time I have to work on things after my son goes to bed because we are continuing to keep him up later than we'd really like so that he can spend more time with my husband.
On to progress with the five endeavors...
We went to church yesterday and I really did not want to at first. But, I figured that eventually, if we go often enough, it will become a habit and I'll want to go. I'm glad we did go because I enjoyed the sermon of the day and we got to visit with an old coworker of my husband's that he hadn't seen in years.
I think we've figured out a plan to work towards me being a SAHM. As soon as we can, we'll start living on my husband's paycheck only and saving mine. Once we know that will work, I'll go part-time at work to ensure that I won't miss work too much and that I really do want to stay home with my son all day, every day. I'm sure that I do, but it will be good to reduce my work in stages.
I've also put out an add on Craig's List looking for typist work to do from home. Hopefully, I'll get a few jobs that way just to make a little extra money. And, I'm still thinking about that life coaching course. I do want to do it, but I'm planning on waiting until October to sign up for it. Maybe that will be my next 30 day project!
I've been doing a terrible job tracking my food or sticking to a plan. However, I've continued with the Couch to 5K program! I just finished Week 2! I think I'll probably repeat week 4 a couple times to increase my speed. Yesterday I ran at 4.3mph, which is slow, I know, but it is what I can do right now. At the end of the program, I'd really like to be running at 6mph for 30 minutes, so that will take a bit of work. I'm really proud of how I've stuck with it and I'm confident that I will keep it up.
I didn't get too much done around the house, other than some work on my son's room. But, I've ordered a notebook to help keep my organized and doing small tasks everyday. I read about the notebook on someone else's blog, but I don't remember where. I also bought a tablet pc that was available on Woot for pretty cheap because the company is out of business. I'm hoping to use it for tracking coupons, grocery lists, meal plans, family schedule, and our budget/expenditures. I'll let you know how it goes. I've already found a few good apps to help me on my way!
How do you stay organized with all that life throws at you?
