Monday, New goals

     I cannot believe it is almost the middle of the month.  Where did the time go?  I have been so busy with the wedding and the after wedding it seems like my life has spun out of control.  I can't say that it will get any better for a while either.

     The shop is very, very busy and I really have to pay attention and get things done and out.  I can't really see a break until the end of Sept. I just remembered something to put on the goals list.  I need to order airline tickets.  One trip to Sluggy's and the other to my nieces wedding.

     Two of the lights in my shop are malfunctioning. I don't know if it is the ballasts or it is the bulbs.  Hub's will look at them but I think I will have to call an electrician and replace the two fixtures and if I do I don't want them to be florescent.  I want just a simple bedroom fixture as when we sell the shop will be a bedroom.

     The problem with life right now is that I would like to ignore the house , the laundry, the dust, the yard, the garden and just sew and get caught up.  But unfortunately that cannot be done.  All I can do is take it one day at a time.

     Today it will be deal with the lights in the shop, get the laundry caught up and sew as much as possible.  I did get quite a bit done on the pile Friday before we left for the camp out.  There are still things left in the pile and I will do those first.  I hope to get at least two wedding dresses out today. That is my goal.

     I also want hubs and I to go through the kitchen and make a tic list of everything that has to be finished and see what we can do and what a professional has to do.  I figured if we just get an item a day done it will be finished before the end of the month.  We have the time to concentrate on this now.  At least Hub's does.

     Well while I was writing this post Hub's managed to get two of the florescent lights working in the shop.  But I will need to go and pick out new lights if I want him to replace them. He is a constant worry when he tries to fix something.  But I want him to do what he can. It saves us money and is good for his self esteem.

     I updated my $5.00 savings goal and I am at $1500.00 so far so that is great.  I will probably use it to try and pay the house off at the end. Also my penny savings needs $73.12 in it for the month of August.  So far I put in $40.00 for the month and I will put in the other $33.12 sometime this week.  This savings should be over $600.00 by December and again may be used to help with the final payoff on the house.

     Well I am off to get things done.  What are you going to try and accomplish today?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
