my goals

i've been setting some goals recently

and i thought i'd share

first, i am growing my hair out

i've been on the verge of cutting it recently

not a huge deal to anyone other than me but i'm at a new all time long
(since i was like 5)

so we'll see where it takes me

it's hard not to cut your hair when you can do it yourself!

second, i've decided we should go tv free

i always have the feeling we should

and then i ignore it because it sounds hard

but the tv is put away and we're going to find better ways to spend our time

this does not include michael and i who will occasionally catch up on shows

using the laptop but the kids are a little obsessed lately

and i don't like fighting with them to moderate so i'm cutting them off

so far, so good

third, i have decided i'm going to run another half marathon

this next spring or summer

my parents are going to visit soon and bring us a treadmill

so i will start running then

i can't find time without our kids to run 

and running with three kids sounds too hard

but i do want to get back in shape so this should help

and give me a goal to work toward

fourth, michael and i need to find ways to spend time together
without kids
we need to go on dates, turn off the tv
and reconnect because having 4 kids
and being really busy  with them and school
can make it tricky
i don't really have a plan how yet
but as long as we're consciously trying, that will help
