April Goals

I'm going to do April Goals a little differently. I've become overwhelmed with everything I have and have put on my plate. What can I say? I try to be an over achiever. Rather than setting three definitive goals, I'm going to set one more ambiguous one. I know, I know, it's not measurable, but whatever. This isn't a job or school. It's my life and it's now of never! I mean, I ain't gonna live forever. I MEAN, I'm in control and want to be happy. :)

I'm going to try to accomplish as much of the following:
-Make last two kitchen valances (and make sure we buy blinds for the back door)
-Finish Lincoln's word art
-Reupholster our kitchen chairs
-Wash the closet curtains
-Finish deep cleaning the kitchen
-Roll over my 401k
-Journal Lincoln's birth
-Start on Personal Progress
-Finally mail the last of my Thank You cards
-Assess food storage and re-organize kitchen cabinets (so I no longer have dozens of cans on our back counter top)
-Hang the shelf in Lincoln's room
-Refinish the dresser I just bought to be our new media stand
-Call my bank about my debit card I'm having trouble activating
-Wash the dogs

Yes, this is a lot, and these are only the most pressing things on my To Do list. I made a list at the beginning of the year and everything I/we need to get done this year. It's big. But like I said, we have a whole year for some of them and until summer for the rest.
And like I said, I'm not aiming to do all of these things. And some of them will take half an hour. But I want to complete many of them, because they're half done or super pressing and I just need to do them. So if I aim high, when I fail, I'll have completed some (or hopefully most!) of them and will feel less overwhelmed. :)

Some Random Phone Pictures

Some pictures from the last few months we've taken on our phones. They span from the beginning of December to yesterday.
Warning: LOTS of pictures
