3 month check up!

Last time I wrote it was to make a list of the goals I wanted to attempt for 2013. I don't want to call them resolutions...something about that words makes you want to  break them right away! So here they are...let's so how we've done

1. Lose weight - Yurchik went on a "make cookies" phase and I think I gained 10lbs!
2. Eat healthier - minus the cookies we've been doing good!
3. Exercise regularly- started walking with the boys!
4. Do at least 1 craft per month (if possible 1 per week depends on the craft and the budget!) so far averaging 2 a month
5. Try a new recipe at least 1 per month- yup! homemade alfredo sauce, spaghetti squash, wonton tostadas...
6. Meal plan- eek!
7. Stay on budget- started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University- paying the bills and saving $
8. Attend 1 playgroup meetup per week minimum- hit and miss on this one as we've all been down with some sickness or something sporadically... hopefully we will be on the mend and back to playing!
9. Complete daily chores and maintain the house-eek!
10. Find a stay at home job to help pay the bills/save- applications galore for all sorts of jobs. Just applied for the perfect job...now to get it!
11. Find and purchase our dream home- in the works!
12. Have a date night at least 1 per month (depends on budget etc)- nada for January but 1 for February
13. Communicate more regularly with family near and far- working on it! even if it's mostly texts!
14. Potty train 3 boys!- eek!
15. Spend less time with technology and more time with family- eek!
16. Create and keep a routine- eek!
17. Have my kids (and husband) finish hugs (don't pull away!)- YES!!!
18. Be a more understanding and patient mother/wife-eek!
19. Be more attentive to the needs of my boys (big and small)- eek!
20. Read scripture and pray regularly.- pray yes, scripture- eek!

So, looking over it I have actually done more than I thought. That makes me feel a little better. I've been lacking in motivation the last week or so ( I think it's the sick kids, sick me, sick husband, family drama, etc....) but hopefully will wake up a renewed woman and kick it into gear! I guess I would need to sleep first... hello 1am nice to see you!

I hope that I can continue to maintain what I've started and take a few of those "eeks!" off the list soon! Here's to a happier, healthier me!
