Good-bye Summer

I can't believe summer is actually ending. School is starting for Chloe and Jordan tomorrow, which brings the dreaded chaos of homework, enforcing bed times,  and no more sleeping in. It is so depressing! With school starting, the kids and I each made a couple of goals for the first term. The kids only had to make three school oriented goals and one spiritual goal. I, on the other hand have a bit more time on my hands so I have a few more goals. I decided if I write mine on here, maybe it will motivate me a little more. I won't share Chloe and Jordan's, they can if they want to.....

~Finish Disney 2011 scrapbook by 9/4 (thankfully I only have a few pages to finish!)
~Finish Prague scrapbook by 10/28 (thankfully I only have a few pages and touch-ups to finish!)
~Finish Jordan's K-7th scrapbook 10/28 (this is a biggie!)
~Finish Chloe's K-8th scrapbook 10/28 (I only have touch-ups and 7th-8th to finish!)
~Start 2011 scrapbook
~Read THREE books
~Read half of the Book of Mormon by 10/28 (this is for the BOM challenge to be finished by 12/31
~PJS everyday!! (Prayer, Journal, and Scriptures everyday! I am in a completely different head space when I  am consistently doing these three things everyday!)
~Blog at least 3x a week (I went on a little blogging hiatus starting in July because I had my feelings hurt and I couldn't get over how certain people treated other certain people at some events over the summer and I really didn't want to make my blog a negative-space. Every time I went to blog all of the hurt and anger kept spewing out, so I took a break. I know I can't control other people's actions or feelings, but it makes me sad that I no longer have the loving, supporting friendship of someone once close to me. Enough said!)

My goals don't seem too daunting and I am looking forward to seeing how the kids like their new teachers and classes!
