Weekly Goals, October 21, 2013

To say I got slightly off track on last week's goals is putting it lightly.  When you see what I got done on my list, you may think that I sat around eating bonbons and watching soap operas all day.  (Old family joke.)  I felt like it was a productive week until I came back to my list...

As I tucked the boys into bed tonight, Matt asked if we could do one more thing.  My answer was no, because it was late.  Then I said "One day we'll get our routine together and things will run like a well oiled machine.  But, today is not that day."
