March - is it a lion or a lamb? It came in like a lion so it will be interesting to see how it ends. Will we get one last blast of winter? Is spring on its way? I will not complain about longer days though - I do a lot of "kid running" in the evenings so it is nice to be driving in daylight at least one way!
In planning my March goals, I went back to my 2026 goals to ensure I'm at least planning to stay on track even if I haven't been as successful as I had hoped so far this year. I'm going to "try" to be a little more mindful (my word for 2026 - Mindfulness) in my planning so that hopefully it is a little more successful!
Here's my plan for March:
1. Stage 2 of the basement - My goal in March is to take 15-20 minutes, 2 days a week and work on the hard sorting/cleaning out of things. So, just taking time on 8 total days for a total of around 2 1/2 hours. It is doable and I already know for past experience that I can get a lot done in a very short amount of time.
2. Scrapbooking - I really truly enjoy scrapbooking . .. it's just the getting started that is hard. I'm chopping my goals down this month; lowering my expectations. I'd like to finish 3 months in 2011 and then if needed, work on 2025 to read 31 pages completed this month.
3. Get the Oven Fixed!
4. Complete the one project in Nate's room that is not done! (replace a board in his bed). He also mentioned cleaning out his closet - he is pretty self motivated so I'll just remind him of this goal.
5. Hang things in Josh's room - plain and simple. That's it.
6. Host Nate's 16th birthday party (finally!)
7. Purchase a flashdrive for Solid Rock documents and transfer all necessary documents to that drive.
8. Solid Rock Musts - Finish my slideshow for Joyful, Prepare my display boards for Presentation Night, print the table signs for Presentation Night
9. Pick and reserve one camping weekend for the summer.
10. Paint all of the white in the house - It's just doors and trim so really not that much but it will make things seem fresher.
11. Purchase and hang the curtains in my living room.
12. Practice a piano song for church.
13. Learn my memory verse for the month
14. Read one non-fiction book for the month.
15. Visit Metro Beach for our 25th year!
16. Make definate plans for our 25th year getaway and put it into motion (reservations etc)
17. Decorate the laundry room
18. Turn off the cable box
19. Find ways to unplug once a week.
20. Monthly Habit - I did not accomplish the kitchen habit last month so I'm going to revisit that one which is to keep the counters cleaned off!
21. Deep Cleaning Goals - I'm changing rooms since I haven't done anything yet in the master. Instead I'm going to focus on the dining room.
22. Figure out how to shorten the blinds (might as well start with the dining room HA)
23. Do my daily Bible reading and write out the scripture verses of the day.
24. Plan April Events my March 31st.
25. Have a date with Darryl.
26 Go out to dinner with my friend Julie!
27. Pick out a song to maybe sing for Easter.
28. Pick out some flower seeds to order and plant.
