Makin' a Goal Monday: Week 5

Last week, my goal was to survive, and I succeeded! Would it be awful, if I made the exact same goal two weeks in a row?

DJ left tonight for Tulsa. I'm so thankful that this will be a short trip and that he'll be home later this week. I have been avoiding how hard this transition would be for me, because I was so focused on my excitement for his new job, and distracted by all of the planning. But, after leaving him at the airport, reality hit and it became very hard. With my mom's support I was able to make it home without crying (too hard), but once Gretchen and I were home by ourselves, it was much more difficult.

I did realize that I have the sweetest three year old ever though! As she saw me crying tonight, she said, "it's okay mommy, I'm here." And later, she asked if I was sad and why was I sad. So, I explained that I was sad that daddy wasn't here. But, she reminded me that he'd be home soon!

I think I'm more upset that he's gone this week since we're suppose to get ice and snow, that could potentially knock out our power and could leave us with up to 10 inches of snow. I'm just praying if that happens that our schools will be smart and at least give us a 2 hour delay if not go ahead and cancel for a day or two!

So, even though, right now, I just want to survive, I do have a few other goals this week that will hopefully keep me distracted.

1. I need to finish a pumpkin clippie and I have 2 orders to get into the mail.
2. I also need to clean out and organize our guest room closet- go through the file cabinet, and figure out what should be put into a garage sale, go to storage, or thrown out.
3. I also need to start packing for when DJ does officially move- he'll need to take towels with him, so that will give me a chance to also clean out Gretchen's bathroom closet!
4. Finally, I need to go ahead and cancel our Y membership. Even though G is enjoying Mat Rats, I have to face reality, that the most I've been is twice a week in the past several weeks, and since DJ will be gone it would be better to just save the money that we're spending on the membership.

I'm pretty sure I can be successful with the goals this week; I know that with my support system, I can survive and get some other things taken care of as well! So, What are your goals for the week?
