In like a lamb, out like a lion ...
I tend to think that for us March began roaring with busy because of our unplanned downtime and then slowed down to a better pace that was a little more gentle like a lamb. A need for this mama. My goals were a a bit off from what I hoped, but accomplishing some is better than none and seeing things planned out is working well.
-:- get to bed earlier
Yes and no. I tried, but many nights I struggled to fall asleep.
-:- resume reading my Bible in 90-180 days
I'm not meeting this goal very well for 90 days, but I will continue and work towards the 180 days.
-:- HOMESCHOOL - we need to find a rhythm here and push forward
Big yes! We pushed through a LOT of school and made great strides. I read aloud a lot of books and completely finished nearly all scheduled books for the entire school year.
-:- do another puzzle - a quiet activity
Yes! Although I will admit that I did this on the very last day of March. I wasn't feeling all that great with back pain and ear troubles, so I started in the morning and finished it before going to bed.
-:- a date with dear husband
Yes! We had a really nice and simple breakfast. I loved that it cost under $15 for our date.
-:- renew our membership and visit our local animal rehabilitation zoo
Yes! We did visit the zoo. It was a very, very short visit and on a day when we had zero energy after visiting Urgent Care, but we took the time to just be outdoors in the sunshine. The weather at the bottom of the mountain was much warmer and felt so good in comparison to the bitter cold. I am always amazed at the 15 degree temperature difference.
-:- celebrate 14 with daughter E!
Yes! Late and not at all like usual, but she did pick our her very own cake and we enjoyed blessing her with gifts.
-:- Purim party
Yes! We had a very simple gathering with just the girls and I. We ate hamantashen - tradition- and read a few books.
-:- plan something special for the 1st day of spring (dye eggs)
Yes! It was such a blessing. We colored eggs, had fun, and enjoyed a bunch of stuffed eggs.
-:- pray over and choose books for upcoming school year
Yes! I did make a decision and hope to write a post soon.
