I feel so busy yet feel like I don't accomplish anything! I guess that is what happens when you have kids and love to spend time with them! I love to set goals and actually meet them but on the other hand my kids are only young once! I really do feel like you need a balance between family and personal time and my working out is my zone out of this life time! I really try to listen to music and focus on running or spinning....I LOVE spinning...If I could go more often I would but time and scheduling are major conflicts!
So things I am working on right now:
1)Keeping my house "looking" clean :O
2)Being a better mom by not yelling as much (Shanae I might read that book you posted!)
3)Finding ways to help my kids learn all that they can!
4)Being a good example and teacher to my girls at church
5)Being a great wife to my husband (and letting him go to McCall for 4 days soooo is bonus points!! - Sarah, Val and Natalie you tooo!!)
6)I am about 2/3 of the way done with my personal progress for church...That is what the girls ages 12-18 work on and it is amazing...It really teaches you about who you are, what you want to be, who you want to be and most importantly how blessed you are by our Heavenly Father...I have even started the new value Virtue which is a huge goal but worth it!
7)Helping one of my young women in my class to finish her personal progress including Virtue!
8)Working out 3 times a week so hopefully I can run a 10k or half marathon...I have been having a hard time getting work outs in and doing the paper route...I would get up early but I already miss out on 2 hours of sleep every night and sometimes more due to weather!
9)I would say taxes but they are DONE!!!!!!!!!!
10)Sewing!! I have so many projects going I LOVE it! I am making baby bibs and burp rags...I bought a pattern for some sun dresses for the girls and some curtain material for the toy room and whatever else I think of!
Okay I think that is it! If there is anything else I will update but for now the kids need to go to BED rather - I NEED the kids to go to bed!

Sheesh! Nice list. You are one busy lady. By the way, I don't think you yell too much at your kids, I have hardly seen you do so...and yes, we get browny points for letting our husbands go to McCall. I am just trying to decide what we get to do in return...hehehe.
You really ARE busy! I would like to learn how to sew blankets, and I would also like to stop yelling at my kids and husband!
Hey, Carrie!
You posted a comment on my blog and I haven't responded back! Good job on EVERYTHING!! Holy cow, paper route, kids, wife, cleaner of the house, YOUNG WOMENS AND running in what spare time!? I think I would fall over at the end of the day! Good job though. That's so awesome all of your goals!! I am running the SLC 1/2 marathon in April. I think I will die, but I am going to do it anyway and get rid of the quiter in me!! hehe!! I think it's been long enough since high school to run something! I'm looking forward to it. I run 4 days a week. Well, since I got the gym membership I am. Any way, good luck with your new goals and hope you run in something this spring!!
Good to hear you are running again!!
Here's a hint with the kiddos - catch them being good.
You got your work cut out for you!! Good luck on that!! And for letting the guys go to McCall sounds like you girls will be having a major girls night out with no kids in return ;) RIGHT? Well with babies it might be a little hard! It would be nice though:)
