Joys & Intentions – May 2019
April, wow, that was fast! Honestly, I was dreading this post because I knew I had failed huge on getting in my 10K steps every day. Now I’m so thankful for the review and to see my one big fail was not really what I should have been focusing on!
April Joys & Intentions
- Continue the Chronological bible in a year plan!
- Read 3 books
- Celebrate Easter
- Complete our taxes.
- Drop Direct TV and review cell phone plans
- Commit to 30 days of 10K steps per day + add yoga 1-2 times per week
- Clean up yard and add new mulch to flower beds
- Have friends over for dinner
While I did fall behind a tad, I only have two days left to read for April! This chronological plan gets all the credit because it sure does make it so easy to stay on track and catch up when I do fall behind. I am behind on listening to the Bible recap podcast and need to get back to that because it really does help my comprehension.
Let’s see, I started about 4 books but only completed 1 in April! This month I just could not seem to get into any of the books I started. Hoping for a more entertaining April! I also have like 4 fiction books I’m part of the way through including one for a book club at work which I’m not loving thus far.
We celebrated Easter! It was a lovely day of church and brunch with all my kids minus Riley and my in-laws.
Complete of taxes! Done, done and….oh wait there was that one day when I realized after talking to Riley I had completed his taxes but NEVER FILED THEM! Y’all, huge mom fail but he was getting a refund so hopefully not too huge of a deal. Oopsie!
Nope, figuring out our new TV situation is weighing on me because in May the price goes up on the “deal” we have had for the past two years. Do you think one of you can just come and tell me what to do? Ugh…I don’t know why things like this just stress me out.
I literally stopped wearing my FitBit….that’s how bad I was feeling about that goal. For now, life is busy and I’m going to stop worrying about the fitness for May.
YES! We mulched the flower beds, cleaned up the yard and planted some new flowers. After two weeks they are all still alive too!! I’ve been using miracle grow for the first time even on the blooming flowers in my beds and cannot believe the difference.
We had our besties over for burgers the night before Easter! I’m hoping once summer arrives we can make having people over more of a weekly event!
Joyfully, we attended 2 dance competitions, 9 baseball games and 1 YMSL banquet. I was able to celebrate girls night on the 1st Monday and a date with Jordan on the 3rd Wednesday and keeping these dates definitely brings joy. My closet has also been purged and made spring and summer ready which is a reason to celebrate. AND let’s not forget….we saved a baby calf!
May Joys & Intentions
- Continue the Chronological bible in a year plan!
- Read 3 books
- Celebrate prom, dance recital, Cinco de Mayo, teachers, Mother’s Day and the last day of school
- Drop Direct TV….like really I have to do this in May!
- Commit to moving my body in some way 3 days a week!
- Plan a date night with Keith
- Have friends over for dinner
May is kind of like December but with no Christmas morning full of gifts! It’s always crazy, always busy and I always feel like it is winning and I am drowning. I’m going to really try to have a positive attitude and soak up the joy this month!
