My Summer Goals

Okay, it is time!



Time to make a Summer Resolution List.



I make one every year and post it in the kitchen. There is no particular order to some of the things on the list, but some of them are time specific. Also, some of them are easy to accomplish, because they have a momentum of their own and will happen without much effort on my part. Other things are truly a struggle for me. I put them all on the list, however, because it gives me a huge sense of accomplishment to see all of the things that happened during my 'off' time.



So, here goes....




  • (DONE!) send Will to Lacrosse camp, June 1-4
  • (DONE!) take Helena to ballet rehearsals, June 5 &6
  • (DONE!) clean house and set up guest room for Michelle (Matt's girlfriend), June 5-7
  • take Helena to ballet intensive and rehearsals June 8-12
  • (ALMOST DONE!) help Helena pack for and send her to Europe, June 13-26
  • help Will pack and send him to Washington, June 15-22
  • while kids are gone, take down their doors, strip them and re-stain them
  • take Will to Band Camp, June 23-26
  • help Helena pack and send her to Girl's Camp, June 27ish
  • sign Helena up for Driver's Ed and take her
  • send Will to Scout Camp July 20th-25th
  • (DONE!) trade in Will's trumpet for a Euphonium
  • (DONE!) get furniture for the family room
  • (DONE!) get dining room table and chairs
  • find a hutch and sideboard
  • strip and stain remaining doors downstairs
  • set up study schedule for kids in July/early August to get ready for school
  • EXERCISE!!! 30-45 min. cardio each day
  • EXERCISE!!! Sit-ups and push ups every morning (increase reps over time)
  • EXERCISE!!! Swim laps at least twice a week
  • cut down portion sizes on luxury foods
  • eat more protein, fruits, and veggies
  • read 4 books off my book list
