goals for 2009

Rebekah posted her goals for this year and it has inspired me to post mine as well. I like the idea of having 5 goals so I can count them on one hand. Here they are.

Goal number 1 - get back to pre-Emma shape. She is 13 years old now and I really need to do this. I think it's been my goal for the past 13 years. I've almost succeed in the past but I have also lost ground so THIS IS THE BIG YEAR TO DO IT!

Goal number 2 - keep up with the Relief Society lessons. I almost made it last year. I am finishing up last years last lesson right now. I don't know if I want to include the Sunday School reading as well because I teach seminary early morning and I'm not a fast reader. And besides, I'm the Primary substitute and spend most of my Sundays in Primary. So I think if I read the New Testament and my lesson plans and the Joseph Smith manual I'm doing pretty good.

Goal number 3 - read each book for the book club this year. This will be a fun goal to reach.

Goal number 4 - finish at least two of the big quilts I have fabric for. One of them is already started and just needs to be finished before it gets shunted to the back burning. I also need to finish at least 1 baby quilt ;~)

Goal number 5 - Improve my house keeping and organizational skills!

Well, there you have it. I challenge anyone who reads this to set 5 goals and post them as well.

Those are good goals too! I need to be better about reading the Relief Society lessons as well, especially since I can now go to half of Relief Society.

Goals? How about goal. As in one. Every additional resolution I make pushes down the probability of my being able to complete them, so I have to keep it simple.--But if anyone can do it you can. p.s. Thank you for your concern over our home. It has been a real learning experience for our family. I will be glad when it's over, but we've had a lot of blessing because of it.
