Goals

For the last month or so I have been attempting to convert everything from two different homes into one house. Overwhelming doesn't even quite cover what kind of job it is. I feel as though I am drowning in a mountain of stuff...stuff, stuff and more...stuff. I have thrown away so many things and have donated even more, but I feel as though I am making little progress.. By the end of the summer I'd like to be able to have a more organized home. A garage that has no more boxes and totes full of junk and a basement that is clutter free... I am wondering if that is to much to expect with such a large household of people.. but that is one of my goals.

My other goal is to lose all this weight I've gained this winter and to get back to my fit old self. I love that I have the kind of husband who loves to spoil me with chocolate and milkshakes and who can cook such wonderful yummy things but I can't stand what is happening to my body..

Another even more important goal is to be able to sit down at least once a day with the kids and have some sort of devotions and prayer time with them. What a responsibility Jeff and I have and I want to do a much better job in this area.

I'd also like to be able to start my day without stressing.. Just getting out the door is enough to make my whole day stressed. I hate starting the day like that. I want to be able to relax, be happy, not nag, just get what I need to get done, done without feeling as though I am going to have a possible nervous breakdown. Do all mother's feel this way or does the 10th child push you over the edge?...or maybe it was the dog..

These are my goals for the next few months...lets see if they actually work out...
