Turkey Day Redo Needed!

Four days later, it just hit me like a ton of bricks: I forgot to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade!?!  I am saddened and need a redo.

30-Day Blog Challenge: Day 13

Day 13: Goals

If only you knew how much I've been struggling with a related issue lately.

Personal goals:
  • To be the best mother and wife I can be (insert all other familial relationships here)
  • To get out of debt
  • To continue to lose weight and keep it off
  • To become one of those annoying people who LOVES to exercise
  • To keep a cleaner house
  • To be a better friend

Professional goals:

I have been trapped in a Sara ping-pong match here, and the match was only intensified by my work trip last week.  Do I want to stay in distance education?  If so, I need to take some big girl steps forward.  Is my dream of working in adoption supposed to be a long-range dream?  What is the likelihood that I will leave the state retirement system (or the state, for that matter) before my 30 years are up? 
  • To be able to articulate my professional goals

    Phillip is evil, and Iris is annoying.

    Day 12: What you believe

    The Apostles' Creed

    I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
