How'd I Do... August Goals

This is very late, but I just haven't had the motivation to blog lately.  Kinda sad, especially since I have so much to blog about, but I'd rather snuggle my little man for now (and sleep).  So here is how August went...

August Goals:

Homemaking -

Clean the house in preparation for baby - Done

Wash the infant car seat cover... the last thing to do in preparation for little guy - Done

Get the carpets cleaned - Done

Clean out fridge and freezer - Done

Cooking -

Finish the freezer cooking - Done.  I made 3 loaves of meatloaf, 2 gallon size bags of stuffed shells, 4 trays of baked ziti, 3 trays of beef enchiladas, 2 trays of enchilada bake, 10 quarts of pasta sauce and 4 quart size bags of taco meat.  I also stocked the freezer with veggies, fruit and frozen yogurt scoops for smoothies, chicken, ground beef and various other meats.  It was a very successful few days of cooking the week before baby was born.

Mothering -

Snuggle my new baby - Done

Make time to snuggle my other babies - Done

Creating -

Make big sister shirts for the girls - Fail :(

Financing -

Stay in budget - I think I actually managed to do this

Enriching -

Find a book to pack in hospital bag... maybe another gardening one - Fail... but I ended up taking advantage of the quiet and slept the whole time I was at the hospital anyways.

So August was a pretty darn good month.  I guess that nesting instinct really helps to motivate you.  Okay, onto September...
