52. Take babies to a new park once month April-Sept every year (2/18)

2009-04-25T14:29:00.001-07:00

Well now that spring has arrived. I can take the kids outside more often. That was/is the spirit of this goal.

05/24/09
I actually got my hubby to come out this time. We went to Welcome All Park. It was damp but 3 had a good time. Hubby had an attitude at 1st, but playing with 3 changed that.

My oldest daughter enjoyed swinging and climbing. This park is nice except it does have baby swings. They just have these handicapped swings but they are not as much fun for my 6mo old.

04/25/09
We went to Clarence L. Duncan Park in Fairburn. We only stayed about an hour because it wa so hot. Three & Angel & Maya all enjoyed the swings. I really wanna get a jogging double stroller so i can take the little ones on a nature walk.

74. Add 10 movies to movie database every month (20/320)

2009-04-20T11:28:00.000-07:00

I know this seems silly, but it sucks not knowing what movies we have or when you wanna watch one not knowing where to find it. SO we now have a decent book shelf. I have been slowl adding videos to the database. When they are in the database I put them in the case in ABC order. yes ABC order. I will be glad have all movies in the database.

This one should also be easy. I have 2 monitor myself and stay on top of it. I will list when I forget to drink my required ounces.

Friday 04/03/09 drank too many diet sodas instead.

40. Take my daily vitamins for everyday (3/1001)

So this one should be easy. But the mornings for me are so hectic. I figured on this blog I would list the days that I missed and give my lame excuse why I forgot to take them.

April 3rd- no real good reason. Just hanging out with hubby.

14. Raise at least $100 for Climb Atlanta ($200/$100)

I really thought this would be easy, but I learned it isn't. I mean I just want peopel to give a few bucks each. I have posted a bunch of requests in Facebook and on April 3rd I sent out an email. Maybe I can get the donations that way.

The Mission: 101 in 1001

2009-03-31T19:25:00.000-07:00

The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

Some common goal setting tips:
1. Be decisive. Know exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it.

2. Stay Focused. Any goal requires sustained focus from beginning to end. Constantly evaluate your progress.

3. Welcome Failure. Frequently, very little is learned from a venture that did not experience failure in some form. Failure presents the opportunity to learn and makes the success more worthy.

4. Write down your goals. It clarifies your thinking and reinforces your commitment.

5. Keep your goals in sight. Review them frequently, and ensure that they are always at the forefront of your thinking.
