First let me say that I *cannot* believe that we are already seven weeks into 2012. Crazy how fast time goes. Life got very crazy with illness and I've not been nearly as disciplined with my goals as I would have liked. However I know that there is no time like the present to restart and so I'm going to renew my dedication to doing just that :)
1. Make a budget every month
-We still have not made a February budget :-( We've been flying by the seat of our pants on this one.
2. Attend 13 weeks of FPU classes
-The class that we were enrolled in ended up being a conflicting time that wouldn't work for us so we have to find a new one.
3. Get a job
-I have made progress on this! Some of it I'm not ready to share yet but it's good stuff *squee*
4. Read 100 books
-I'm done eight books so far. I have a LOT of them on the go though so I need to get on the ball and finish some of those.
5. Go on at least two dates per month with James
-So far we havn't made it past the first date (mostly because of illness). Need to add this to this weeks priority list!
6. Organize each room in my house
-We moved a whole bunch of stuff into the house from the old house so I need to get those boxes unpacked ASAP!
7. Complete The Love Dare
-We are going to restart this, this time together <3
8. Get rid of all remaining TAPS inventory
-This goal is actually going to change. More on this coming soon ;-)
9. Send out cards and letters on a regular basis
-Still havn't done this.
10. Get all three boys sleeping in their own beds and the two little ones out of diapers
-Big boys in their own bed we are still making progress on. Diapers not so much.
11. Complete C25K and the Walk With Leslie program
-I didn't do any of this this week :-(
12. Read through the bible
-I have finished Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and I'm done the first 18 chapters of Joshua.

2012 Goals Update End of Week #1
Ok the first week of 2012 is coming to an end (is it just me or is time FLYING?). This was not as productive a week as I'd like but I managed to sneak in a fair amount of reading while the kids were asleep.
1. Make a budget every month
-January budget done! Unfortunately we had two unexpected expenses this month and so it's tightened everything up but other than that we are staying on track.
2. Attend 13 weeks of FPU classes
-These start on Wednesday. I can't wait. We just need to get a sitter interviewed and hired and we will be set.
3. Get a job
-Nothing done on this so far but it's moving up the list
4. Read 100 books
-I am finished four books so far (will do a separate post for reviews. I have two on the go, one "real" book and one ebook for when I'm reading with the lights out.
5. Go on at least two dates per month with James
-First date night was last night and we had a great time! We had some drinks and curled up watching Grey's Anatomy. All three boys spent the night with their Auntie and Uncle and cousins. And tonight we are switching off and my niece and nephew are soundly sleeping with their cousins here while their parents get a well deserved date night.
6. Organize each room in my house
-I am working on the bedroom and loving how it's coming along.
7. Complete The Love Dare
-I decided to spend more than one day per "dare" (there are forty). I have done day one and day two so far. It's challenging me more than I thought it would but I love the readings and the effort I'm putting in is worth it for sure.
8. Get rid of all remaining TAPS inventory
-Did not do anything with this this week.
9. Send out cards and letters on a regular basis
-My new address labels came on Friday so I am going to start on this this week.
10. Get all three boys sleeping in their own beds and the two little ones out of diapers
-No progress at all on diapers, however the big boys have both started every night this week except one (when I wasn't here) in their own beds! And Tobias stayed there all buy one night! Two miracles I didn't think would come nearly so fast. Linus has only had one night of not sleeping at least part of the night with us (and even that night I had to carry him back to bed a couple of times) but even that is an improvement. Malachi is in with us for now until the other two are more settled.
11. Complete C25K and the Walk With Leslie program
-I didn't do any of this this week :-(
12. Read through the bible
-I managed to make it all the way through Genesis this week and through Exodus chapter 1-35. I am exceedingly happy with myself for taking quiet time to myself to do this.
Overall a pretty good week goal wise when I see it all written out. I hope everyone else had a good first week of 2012 too!

Goals for 2012
The title of this post sums it up. I have some big plans for 2012 and some little steps along the way for things to do to help me along my way. I want to keep myself accountable and so that means starting with a list. And what better day to do that on than this first day of the week, month and year?
OK my 2012 list:
1. Make a budget every month
-we are firmly planted on the Dave Ramsey bandwagon and this is a major part of that
2. Attend 13 weeks of FPU classes
-another part of our Ramsey plan
3. Get a job
-as soon as we have James' physio figured out this will become a huge priority
4. Read 100 books
-I actually started this on Christmas Day and have finished two so far
5. Go on at least two dates per month with James
-living in Niagara Falls means we can trade date nights with El and Ry which means no babysitting costs
6. Organize each room in my house
-would like to get at least one fully done per month
7. Complete The Love Dare
-I just got this book and I am excited to read through it and do the exercises
8. Get rid of all remaining TAPS inventory
-I am ready to have the space back
9. Send out cards and letters on a regular basis
-I got behind on this when James was in the hospital and I want to get back on it
10. Get all three boys sleeping in their own beds and the two little ones out of diapers
-this might well be the hardest one on here LOL
11. Complete C25K and the Walk With Leslie program
-I want to get in shape again
12. Read through the bible
-I'm hoping this will take me less than a full year and I plan on carving out time to tackle as big a section as I can during these cold months that keep us inside so much.
I can't wait for this year to unfold!
