September Goals

September already? Where did the summer go? I mean, technically it's still summer, but it feels like the season is changing already. September used to be my absolute favorite month, now it's a month when I focus on just getting through a few dates and making it to October. I will save that for another post.

All I want to focus on today is a short list of goals, okay maybe not a short list. HA! I love lists, so here are my priorities.

• Write at least 2-3 days a week
• Intentionally menu plan each week and stick to it!
• Prep and wash all baby g2's clothes
• Set up the nursery (pending furniture is sold)
• Read my devotional daily
• Exercise at least 30 minutes a day 
• Do a photo shoot with Isaac
• Date night with Nick
• Tot School and routine calendar for Isaac

I think we'll stick with this list for now. Heaven knows I have more stuff written down in my notebook, but I think this is plenty to get me started. I'm hoping I can stay active and focused on my goals over this next month. Pregnancy does weird things to your brain - like make you go into overdrive and think you need to do 100,000 things before your itty bitty baby arrives. Oh, the stress!

I'll also be asking for many prayers the next few weeks as I mentioned before September is a difficult month for me.

Fall is JUST around the corner

Today we had a brief snippet of the weather that's just around the corner. It has been an odd summer. June was rainy and July was cooler than usual until the very end. August has been HOT and HUMID - not fun for a pregnant lady such as myself. I really can't stand air conditioning, but I am so very thankful for it on the very, very hot sticky days.

Isaac and I headed over to the local bookstore for story time this morning - read: Isaac played with all the store merchandise and didn't listen to a single story. Oh well. Then we hopped over to the mall because I was craving coffee and there was a little play place for Isaac to explore. Win-win. We forgot how to nap, and I lamented quitting my job while Isaac enjoyed a few episodes of Curious George. HA! That curious little monkey. It was quite the day.

When my husband got home I shared with him my internal struggle and he suggested we hit the town for some dinner. I gladly accepted the dinner date and off we went. Isaac thoroughly enjoyed his mac 'n cheese and I scored on his sundae he decided to snub. Another win for this pregnant mama!

Back to the work thing, I resigned in June and I've started to miss having something outside the home to work on. So here I am, AGAIN. Trying to start up this here writing project. YAY! Perhaps it will help me keep on track with the rest of this pregnancy I've kind of been neglecting. I've heard that happens with subsequent babies? Right? I'm not the only one?

Drat! It's 10:00 pm and now I'm too tired to do my nails. #lifeofamama
