March goals revisisted/April on tap!

I LOVE planning my whole month in my big old monthly planner and looking at all the days laid out. I realize really important things-- like next week when I have to be on campus every darn day and the fact that we are busy EVERY WEEKEND IN APRIL. Omg. Eau Claire visit this weekend. Dance competition AND a dive meet in Madison next weekend. Dance competition/convention AND a dive meet in Chicago the following weekend. Baseball tournament the last weekend. Gah.

Unforch I realized this too late to schedule 4 weekly house cleanings or to pause Minnie's gymnastics tuition since we cannot make ANY of her classes. But! I was in time to switch her to a weeknight class for April and pause her tuition for the summer starting next month. Yay! (ish). Hoping to get a company in to clean toward the end of the month and winging it the first two weeks.

SO. April. VERY BUSY. Cruel, you might even say. But still! I HAVE GOALS.

First, though, let's review March.

✅Finish watching Oscar movies!: This was super fun, and we had a blast doing our Oscar pool

✅Query blog designers and research DIY options: I have great ideas!

✅Watch the Oscars with the fam and do a betting pool of some kind: Loved this ALSO WON THE POOL

✅Celebrate Dorothy!! And buy her some gifts!: Check and check.

✅Celebrate Ben!! Yep.

🟡Visit Harry at UWEC: Canceled due to spring blizzard and rescheduled.

🟡Shop for Easter: Partly!

❌Plan Jack's bday: Absolutely not.

❌Decide where and when we are hosting Jack's grad party. Big old nope.

❌Consider my writing process and outline it; see where it might fit into my life: NOPE

❌Buy new lamps for the kitchen/living room: I did stain the hell out of a lampshade, so this task seems even more urgent.

✅Do yoga every day this month: Yes! (except that one day)

✅Run at least 2 practice 8K's (slightly longer than my usual morning runs, though I have worked up to at least 3 miles): I did do 2 long runs!

🟡Be a better blog friend and leave comments for 10 minutes every day (I've been doing lots of reading w/o commenting): SORT OF

✅Notice when I rest before all my work is done: YES! I have started sitting down to read when I want to, not wen I feel like I have earned it.
