accomplished my goals.
July Goals
Relationships/Connect
Y Sunday
lunches with my in-laws. – Got in a couple this month!
Y Sunday
dinners with my parents. – Got in one!

old coworkers and check in with them. – Yes!
I texted with three of my girlfriends from work, talked to one guy on
the phone, and Facetimed with another.
It was great to check in with all of them.
Y Facetime
with Mama Cass. – We actually did one better and visited with her in person
instead... outside and far away, of course, but we got to see her nonetheless.

Olivia for 2020-2021 dance classes. – They decided not to open registration

Y Sign
Jacob up for fall baseball. – Don’t know if he’ll actually play, but he’s
signed up.
Y Work
on teaching the kids how to ride bikes without training wheels. – We practiced,
but they still don’t have the hang of it.
Waaaahhhh.
Y Meditate
with the kids. – We only meditated once together, but I feel like they got a
lot out of it. I explained the
principals of meditation and why it can be helpful, and they seemed to enjoy
it.
Y Life
skills refreshers for the kids – how to wash hands, brush teeth, tie shoes
properly.
N Kids
take swimming lessons with my cousin. – We ended up canceling this because
my uncle came down with Covid (he’s okay now), and we obviously didn’t want to be
around my cousin since she lives with him.

pictures and videos from last few months to hard drives and Amazon drive. – Started
to do this, but I’m having connectivity issues between my phone and my
computer, so I haven’t been able to get everything off of my phone, which means
I can’t transfer everything yet.
Y Complete
2 things on Master To-Do list. – I did four!

Now for the August goals… I’m not sure
what August will look like considering the kids could end up having to do
distance learning at any moment, so I’m keeping my goals for August light in
case we have to pivot. And since I’m no
longer doing bucket lists for summer, fall, Christmas, etc. our bucket list
items will now just be included in my goals.

Well done on your goals!! I am very impressed. My goals these past few months have basically been "survive".
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, girl. That's exactly why my August goals are so much lighter... we'll just be trying to survive!
DeleteYES to decorating for fall, haha. I am still trying to figure out how early is too early!
ReplyDeleteNot too bad at all for being in a funk. I think you’ll do really good in August. My mind is constantly brewing up fall decorating ideas, I seriously would do it now except for all the N O’s from my family, LOL!
ReplyDeleteyou did great with your July goals.
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait to decorate for Fall!!
Girl you crushed it!! I just started pinning some ideas for fall decor and not going to lie, it got me excited!! Hope you have a great weekend! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThat's great you were still able to accomplish so many of your goals! It's always a nice surprise when that happens. I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAmazing job on the goals. I haven't done much of anything towards mine!
ReplyDeleteYou did pretty awesome this last month on your goals. I love that you included your fitness goals in there. I should do that for me. I want to get the girls back in swim lessons, but they are in group settings here, and I am not sure I am up for that. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou really hit it out of the park with your July goals! That's fantastic. It's so crazy trying to make plans for the Fall. Who knows what will happen from one day to the next? We do the best we can though!!

You did awesome with your goals!! My husband has been trying to get me to trade in our vehicle for a new one but so far I am holding pretty firm that I just don't want to. I hate all that decision making process. LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you! You've got that right! It is SO much work and SO time consuming!
DeleteWay to go on the goals! I got my covid antibody test back and it was negative too. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhy does it seem like some folks have been tested for COVID like 5+ times and then there are others who haven't been tested at all? After the "false-positive" test for the governor of Ohio, I am starting to question how many other false positive tests there are?!?
ReplyDeleteWhere are you guys considering going for your fall vacation to the mountains??
I'm sure the number of times a person has been tested has something to do with how many times they've been exposed. We know people who have had to be tested several times due to being exposed so many times, but we've been tested zero times because we've neither exhibited symptoms nor been exposed that we know of. We usually go to the North Georgia/North Carolina border area for our trips to the mountains!
DeleteYou always acheive so much - even in straightened conditions - always so inspiring. Looking forward to seeing all of your Autumn goals too! BTW I still have no idea what the apple phone rings are / do - I am so behind. Hopefully I will catch up soon to modern frames of reference haha!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! The rings on the Apple Watch just track your activity, exercise, and movement throughout the day. You can set the goals individually and then as you move around throughout the day, your rings close. Your goal is to close the rings each day!
