2010 Goals

November 2, 2010 | Uncategorized

Happy rainy Tuesday! I tell ya, all this rain is making me so sleepy! Not to mention the garlic fries and half of a cheeseburger I had for lunch!

My mom and I ran some errands, and I went with her to vote, and we went to lunch at New Orleans Hamburger Company. I hadn’t been to this new(er) location so it was a nice change. I generally try to only eat beef one a week or so, and this cheeseburger hit the spot! It was so big I couldn’t even finish half, and it came with the most amazing garlic fries! They were so rich, I only had half of those, too.

Rain rain go away

One of my favorite blogs to read it N Her Shoes. I love hearing about all of Bobbi’s fun adventures and she just so happens to be an awesome runner! Anyway, I am totally stealing an idea from her because I love lists! Bobbi made a list of goals for the rest of the year, which is a great idea since we get so busy and a lot of things end up being thrown out the window due to parties, shopping, being with friends and family, etc. This got me really thinking about what I want to accomplish before 2010 is over. Here is my list:

1.)recover from this IT band injury

2.)run 3-4 days a week

3.)read at least two books

4.)volunteer for a charity or at church during the Christmas season

5.)cook 4-5 new recipes

6.)strength train 2-3x’s a week

7.)Read my Bible everyday. I try to read everyday but honestly 1-2 times a week I just forget.

8.)eat at home more, and at the table, not in front of the TV

9.)Make something for the new house. I am not crafty but would love to be! Suggestions?

 

So, there you go. if I remember, I will revisit this in January!

QOTD: What is something you want to have done by the end of 2010?

    My goal for 2010 (non-athletic) was to read 1 book a month. So far i am on my 10th book this year! last year i only read 1 book all year! I knew you were a Disnet travel Agent but i didn’t know i could book thru you, i thought i had to call disneyy directly. i’ll keep that in mind for next year 🙂

    • runningwithsass says

      November 2, 2010 at 12:28 pm

      oh yes, I can book everything for you! (thats the only way I get paid if I do the booking haha) we can also do takeovers, where we can takeover an existing disney reservation that was booked through disney! :oP
      thats great looks like you will meet your goal!

    I hope to run a sub 22 minute 5K and get our Christmas cards out more than one day before Christmas.

    • runningwithsass says

    I know just what you mean about needing to eat at the table more instead of in front of the tv. Just today as I sat on my bed eating a bowl of cereal, I wondered if it’s possible to forget how to eat properly at the table. Probably not, but the thought crossed my mind.

    By the end of the year, I plan to have written in my journal every single week of this year.

    • runningwithsass says

      November 2, 2010 at 7:45 pm

      it’s so hard sometimes when I can get more done by multitasking!
      I used to journal a lot, but, like a lot of things, it has gone away due to time!

    My biggest goal is to book my damn honeymoon! We want to go to Disney so bad but the whole planning process is overwhelming me! I was so psyched to see that you do that! Maybe we can help each other with our respective goals!

    Goal-setting is one of my favorite things! I really like having something to work towards and look forward to. I wouldn’t mind a 5K PR before the end of this year.

    • runningwithsass says

      November 4, 2010 at 6:45 am

      I really wanted to put that, and I was planning to run one tis month and I know I will PR b/c my current PR is from a year ago, but, with my IT band I dont want to risk hurting it. boo.

    You’ve got some good goals…I should probably steal them! We ate supper in front of the TV. The Husband is currently playing Fable III while I’m blogging about — at least we are in the same room…right?

    I also need to read some more books! I have one with a bookmark at about chapter 5, so I’m trying!

    • runningwithsass says

      November 4, 2010 at 6:46 am

      OMG yall sound just like us. my husband went out and got fable III the day it was released!

☀️ Cabin mornings, lakeside afternoons, and a ☀️ Cabin mornings, lakeside afternoons, and a little bit of learning in between… that’s our kind of summer!

Each one includes fun, colorful activities across math, language arts, science, and social studies, and it only takes 2 pages a day to stay on track. ✏️📚

No long, boring lessons… just engaging learning that fits into real life.

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷

✨ Staying steps from the magic! ✨ We loved our ✨ Staying steps from the magic! ✨ We loved our visit to Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel—especially with Disneyland celebrating its 70th anniversary! 

🏰 From the dreamy castle-themed rooms to the lush gardens, on-site dining, and a pool perfect for post-park relaxation… this place has it all. And the free shuttle to the parks? A total game changer! 🎉
