Okay, April was perhaps the fastest month we’ve had in this whole last year! We have been so busy, and while I feel like I got a lot accomplished last month, there is soooo much I haven’t accomplished and I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed. The kids will be out of school in just TWO WEEKS and there are soooo many things I haven’t gotten done that I wanted to have done before they are home 24/7.
Today I’m recapping my April goals and listing my May goals, and this month’s goals are going to be very cut and dry since we have so much going on… not too many frivolous ones for this month! As always, I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I accomplished my goals.
