September 2020 Goals

As I type this, I’ve had a crazy long day. It was a homeschool day, and I’m feeling tired. There was a lot of push back on doing ANYTHING and we are all learning what it looks like to actually get work done! And the even greater challenge : learning how to do the work in a certain amount of time. Milly is the pokiest human being on the planet so I’m figuring out how to encourage her and push her to do things faster, which is usually the one thing that triggers a full on melt down for her. Also, I’m taking a major risk by letting Lyndon not take a nap today, and instead have the girls play together (and it’s currently working!!) but I’m hoping it’ll pay off for an easy early bedtime. (And praying it doesn’t end in some major 3 year old meltdowns too!)

Today, writing goals feels a little foolish. There is so much that needs my attention every single day. I look at this list of goals and chuckle thinking “HOW THE HECK am I going to do even one of these things?” - especially on days like today.

But I also look at them and believe they are worthwhile, so I’ll keep writing them, even if I do only cross one off the list. And I’m counting down the days until my mama comes to stay with us this Saturday (first time since Covid!!!) and I’m pretty much banking on doing most of these when she’s here! Ha!!
