April Goals// How I did

As I mentioned before, this month was a month where I was struggling. But I need to look on the bright side. Here is how I did with my monthly goals!

Parenting:

1. Arrange a few play dates. I did this. I am going to keep reaching out so Logan can have some fun time with his friends.
   
2. Big changes will be coming most likely. I polled Facebook about how to let your child know that you are moving. I
3. Make sure he maintains contact with extended family on both sides. I have also accomplished this this month. I reached out and L spent a super fun day with his dad’s extended family. He is still talking about it!

Love: 

1. Recognize all his efforts. Check. Mostly.
2. Daaaaaate. For real this time. We had a vacation and ended up spending a lot of time together as a family and as a couple. It was really nice.

Household:

1. Yard sale! I haven’t actually hosted my yard sale yet, but I have a growing yard sale pile. Does that count?
2. Sell five things a day on online yard sale sites. I started off okay with this. Slacked at the end of the month.
3. Organize and weed through all places you can see.I have been decluttering like crazy. Bags and bags of stuff for Goodwill.
4. Create recipe binder. Not even close.

Blogging: 

1. Create an editorial calendar. I’m going to try to follow one again next month!
2. Keep up my interactions with other blogs. I fell off the face of the Earth this month.
3. Vlog again? I haven’t gotten around to it, but it will be again in the near future.

Professional:

1. Get my letters of recommendation. Mostly
2. Look for and apply for summer school positions and tutoring positions. Done and done.

Budget:

1. Save every last bit of change, yard sale funds, etc. I did this!
2. Call people I am in collections with and make a payment arrangement. nope.
3. Spend on ONLY the bare essentials. I’m trying to build my savings as quick as possible. I mostly did this. I did buy a few iced coffees.
4. Ditch the car that I can’t drive or register because someone is preventing me to do so. By ditch I mean give it back to the ex. It is gone. One less thing to worry about.

Health:

1. Set up a meeting with my therapist. I did but I am waiting for her to have an opening.
2. Figure out what is blocking me from starting to exercise again. Depression and self sabatoge. It is stopping. I am feeling very excited about something new though.
3. Move around. Take walks, work out side, pack stuff up, dance, whatever it may be. I’ve been doing that.
   

This month was mostly a lost month. A month I fell in the abyss. But I’m pulling myself together. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
