April Review:
Spiritual
-Do visiting teaching.
-Watch conference. Check!
-Find primary sub. Check!
-Help kids memorize the monthly Primary scripture: The Family: A Proclamation to the World – “Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and. . . the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children” Check!
House
-Clean out the garage. We have been waiting for warmer weather, so this should be the month. I am hopeful next Saturday will be warm enough.Check! So nice to have this done!
-Continue work on my Holiday Binder. Tabs are created, now I need to label and put a sheet of paper in each section where I can begin to put ideas. Didn't do a thing.
-Buy a pack of poster board. I have chosen a color pallet for the house, now I plan on painting a big poster board- like a big paint chip I can move around the room to make sure I like. Check!
-Buy ceiling paint and paint the ceiling in the living and dining room white. Check!
-Begin yard work! Fertilize lawn, prune bushes, etc. Still waiting for spring....
Hobbies
-Take Lightroom class. Trying to decide if this is a good idea since we will be on vacation for Spring Break or if I should wait until May? Trying for May...
-Take an organ lesson from Sherri. Check!
-Build small garden box and plant peas. :( Not done. Probably won't get peas but putting this on May goals...
-Hem one pair of pants! Probably should stop putting this on my list...
Health
-Exercise 5x per week. I'm training for a 5K at the end of May, so I am trying to increase my running endurance. Mostly check. I am not running everyday, but I am building up my endurance.
-Eat less refined sugar. I had a successful no sugar week, but need to create a "Do Not Eat" list of stuff that doesn't make me feel good. Even though it doesn't make me feel good, it is still tough to eliminate. So hard. Doing well on some aspects and NOT at all on others. Also the goal was too vague and not specific enough.
May
