April was much more successful then the past few months. It got derailed a little near the end when I ended up sick again for a but but overall I felt like I was able to accomplish alot.
Here's my plan for April:
1. Start fresh with the Declutter 365 for April. Complete all of the April tasks then go back to Jan-March and finish up items from those months (Not every item on every day pertains to my home so it gives me time to "maybe" catch up.). Then also work towards the Flylady Declutter plan with doing daily missions and spending 15 minutes a day in the weekly zone decluttering and/or deep cleaning. (If decluttering is done, then deep clean) I'm not sure why it is so hard to accomplish these two things but I never even got to these once this month!
2. Deep clean the Laundry Room. Done! (and the washer is fixed too!)
3. Deep clean the garage (hoping for more consistent decent weather to empty it, clean it, and organize it for summer)
4. Finish the odds and ends in Josh's room. (We had busy weekends in March - April looks a little more open!)
5. Clean up the yard - get rid of junk that accumulates thanks to the winds of winter, clean up flower bed, spray weed killer where needed, and set up the yard ornaments.
6. Replace lightbulbs Done!
7. Go on a Date with Darryl (this is an every month goal!) Done!
8. Plan a family activity (the goal is once a quarter so I will put it in my goals each quarter until it is done) Done!
9. Read at least 6 books this month Done!
10. DO my daily Bible Study.
11. Scrapbook :-)
12. Clean out my file cabinet Done!
13. Clean out our firebox Done!
14. Clean out all of my music and organize it Done!
15. Wrap up all things related to my co-op this semester - this includes putting everything away in the right place, organize all of my supplies that are in various places, and gather anything I won't use and donate it. Figure out the Google work space access so I can upload documents for anyone on the Leadership Team to use/print/see. I stored my things away and as I am cleaning the basement I am sorting through things to use this next fall. I have not figured out Google work space.
16. Learn one piano solo.
17. Learn a song to sing in church.
18. Update my home for spring/Easter (I'd like to have spring things that will stay up through May and a few Easter decor items. ) I did decorate for Easter! Now to shift into spring. My neighbor gave me a gift card for the Dollar Tree because I helped her with a project so I'm going to use that to hopefully pick up a few things.
19. Buy and hang new curtains in my living room. So, I bought curtains and rods; I returned the curtains because I didn't like them and now need to order what I want.
20. Visit Boulder Ridge Zoo with Josh, Nate, and my mom.
21. Attend various field trips/meet-ups such as our Bowling Field Trip, the teen brunch, the Butterfly Exhibit, and see the latest Paddington Movie :-) Also, plan a teen game night for our Co-op in May. We did all the things! I decided against planning the game night because we have other activities in May with our Co-Op
22. Schedule my guys wellness check-ups.
23. Go through my guys clothes for summer; make a plan to purchase all that they need in the coming weeks. (shorts, shirts, dress clothes, shoes - thinking about camps this summer and what they need)
24. Deep clean the dining room - move "everything out" (as much as we can) and clean; wipe down baseboards, wipe down walls, touch up paint, rearrange, wash curtains, wash the rug (or maybe get a new one!). Possibly get a new clock (I love clocks). Done! There are a few big projects that I've slated for this summer so that I didn't get bogged down in the deep cleaning (repainting trip, cleaning and shortening the blinds, and cleaning my rug)
25. Accomplish at least half of this months goals HA! Done! I counted 13 things done which is just over half!
