Top Ten

Goal #1 Wake up at 5 a.m. and be home by 7 a.m. to read scriptures with Griffin and get him off to school with a kiss and a note in his lunch from time to time. Today the poor kid got himself all ready and came to kiss us goodbye as T and were still in bed! Besides I love getting a crack on the day before the kids are awake and getting up early means going to bed early, goal #2!

My sisters and cousin have done posts on goals they want to accomplish. Since I tend to be more on the private side I keep them in my journal, but then I thought perhaps it might help me to remember and be more diligent if I post of a few of them. I find I'm better in long term goals than the short term ones. My plan is to accomplish these by the first of October....then make new one's or have created better habits and they need no longer be a "goal"!

So in no particular order, here are some more

Kenna just had woken up.....so this is 2nd day hair before I pulled it out. Now that school's back in I don't want the girls looking like orphans and want to try more hair techniques. I wonder if half the kids at school get a comb through their hair before they're out the door? Seriously.
I love doing little girls hair and my girls are growing too fast. Bows are played for me (or I'm just tired of making them) and Camdyn's a bit too old for them anyhow. Kenna's patience for new hairstyles might be running thin. It's time consuming. #3 Once we get our garage cleaned out (that will be on Todd's goal list) then it's time to stock up on food storage. We have the money, we have the resources, we just need to DO IT! #4

Speaking of food, anyone who knows me well knows that I AM a cookie monster. Ask my brother-in-law Tyler and he'll tell you that I'm also a "cookie snob". I'll admit that.
Cookie Monster and I have much in common. He likes to eat cruncy fruit, vegetables and......yep, cookies, cookies, cookies! Yes a cookie here and there is fine. I just eat them here, there and everywhere. I really wonder if I could go 3 weeks with no cookies. It's never been done. In fact I'm eating one right now just mentally preparing for this fasting of cookies. #5

I want to finsih my Thailand Scrapbook. #6
And not eat cookies in the process.....
Do more one on one reading with the 3 younger kids. Tasha Tudor is my most favorite author/illustrator of all time. I also want to get to bed at 9:30 myself and read rather than waste time downstairs on computer and TV. #7
Go to the temple this month. #8
Decide if I'm going to do the PF Changs Marathon the day after my B-day, then sign up. #9 And..... put on a very fun activity for our ward on Oct 3rd. I brainstormed some fabulous ideas for an Oktoberfest celebration. My committe and I are hard at work to bring it all together, and hopefully it will all turn out like I have it envisioned in my mind! We're planning on holding it outdoors because I think the cultural hall is a tomb that is a bear to decorate. Only the weather will tell. #10
