Weekly Goals

I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions because I truly believe one can make a change at any time, but I do believe in changing when it's appropriate.  Since I'm trying to be more intentional in 2012, I thought I'd make a few goals for this week.

1. Schedule.  I need to get the baby back on a schedule.  None of us have quite recovered from our 10-day trip to Texas for Christmas (more on that later).  It may take me quite a while so in the meantime we're staying close to home & getting everyone back on track.  Namely, with naps, eating times & night times.  BabyN is still reeling a little bit from not knowing what time zone we're in so I'm focusing on getting him back on Pacific time with naps at 9:30 and 1:00.  Followed by sleeping through the night!  We're using the book, The Sleep Lady's Good Night Sleep Tight & hope he'll be sleeping all night by the end of the week.  It means a little less sleep for me in the process, but will be good in the long run.
2. Restore Order.  We're unpacked from our trip, but the house is still chaotic.  So while it may seem counter-intuitive to organize the house while trying to recover from a post-Christmas crash, having the house organized aids in my calmness, sanity & recovery.  Keeping the work within the necessary pacing for recovery should increase my health.
3. Walk.  Another slightly counter-intuitive measure, but I'm not talking about power walking here!  Just a slow & easy 5 - 10 minute walk (as tolerated).  In part of restoring order I finally moved the treadmill out of the baby's room so that it can be used, so I'm planning on hopping on it for a few minutes each day while he's napping.
4. Rest & Recuperate.  Recover from the holidays.
