Quit Smoking
ehhhh.....again 2 weeks ago

I had this in my completed list, but had to go remove it form there. I had quit smoking for almost a year. When my sister-in-law and her boyfriend moved in with us a few months ago…my husband and I both started smoking again. So….....

I put this one back. I was talking with my hubby last night and we’re going to try to quit smoking after Thanksgiving but before Christmas. It won’t be fun. Our extra house-guests are still here and it’s still stressful but, though I actually enjoy the act of smoking, I HATE the way it makes me feel physically and I HATE that I’m being a bad example for our children.



homeschool my children
I'm doing this 2 weeks ago

This isn’t a goal that I’ll be able to move to “finished” any time soon because it’s an ongoing process and something I need to keep doing every day and most days to keep reminding myself why. My 5yr old is learning to read and doing well with math which is awesome! She LOVES science so I try to do an experiment of some type about once a week. My 3yr old is getting more comfortable with his letters and he picks up a lot of things as he’s running around bouncing off my walls.

The most important accomplishment to me so far has been that my husband has finally come around on this. He never said he didn’t want me to, but he did say he wanted them in school at some point preferable right after first grade. Now, that he’s sees it’s working and he’s convinced that I’m committed to our children learning, he’s come around a lot. He says so long as it’s working, and they’re not falling grossly behind in any thing then he’s content with me teaching them until I don’t want to do it anymore. This is amazing!!!



Have " family time"
movie night 2 weeks ago

we don’t do it every single week because sometimes things pop up, but we try to make it a point to get a nice (hence G rated) family movie or cartoon to watch with the kids. I keep a few bags of popcorn ready for our Friday nights. It’s something the kids are really starting to look forward to now and that’s my goal in this. I want our kids to look forward to spending time together as a family and sometimes I forget to make that a priority.
