As I think about what I want to accomplish and the goals I wish to set, I try to think about the goals that I've set previously and whether or not I have succeeded. It doesn't look like I wrote anything about the 2011 or 2012 year. Ouch. Again, that was a patch of time I just wasn't putting any effort into blogging. However, for the 2010 year I did set some goals. I wanted to become more patient. Which I have. I have worked VERY hard on being more patient and I am not where I want to be but I am getting there! I also had a goal to find stable employment. I have. I just celebrated my third anniversary with my company! I wanted Emma out of her wheelchair and she is! She started walking when she was 5 but still needed a chair for transporting and for long distances. Now? She's almost completely independent.
Failures. She's STILL not potty trained. She's ALMOST there. Yay! I am still mostly housebound. Take Emma to therapies at 7 am. Drop her off at school. Go to work until 5:30. Emma comes home at 6:30 (after school program). Rush dinner, showers, bed time and down time. Oh and let's not forget about when I need to read and do homework. Ouch. Doesn't leave much a social life, does it? I did, however, want to get Emma more involved and I have! With KEEN and ballet. It's more than we normally do! I am still not eating all that healthy...
The year 2013, I turn 35. On January 10, to be exact. It's supposed to be pivotal birthday. I plan this to be a great year.
What about you? Do you have any goals, wishes, dreams, aspirations,etc. for this year?
Here are my goals:
1. Less eating out. (It's so easy to hit a drive thru for lunch at work! However, it's so expensive! I will also eat healthier)
2. Fixing myself up more. Seriously. You should see me most days. They're lucky I brush my hair.
3. Better time management. With school, Emma, and work... I'm a mess.
4. Declutter.
5. Set a blogging goal. Whether it's once a week or just twice a month.
6. Open my business on Etsy this spring.
7. GET EMMA POTTY TRAINED!
8. Once a month: Go out with friends for dinner, drinks, coffee, whatever!
9. Join a meetup and GO.
10. I finish my degree this year and am taking one semester off before going to grad school. It's time I start dating again. I think I am ready.
11. Make it home to Kansas to visit family and friends.
12. Disneyland.
13. Get more active- exercise, community, etc. I am trying this again!
14. Take more photos. Seriously.
