The month of May went pretty well.
I was able to get some of my goals accomplished – some didn’t go so well.
I feel part of the problem was that I didn’t review them very often.
This month will be better.

Here’s where I’m at:
Start & Finish Step 7 – I’ll need to finish the rest of the review of questions tomorrow – 6.30.10
Start Step 8 – I’ll be praying about this and will hope to start it by July 1, 2010
Write in my journal 24 times in June (1 more than last month) – today was 24! Tomorrow will be 25! It feels really good and seems to be becoming a habit!
Do my best to be in bed by 11:00 p.m. on Sunday – Thursday (modified this some because I want to be realistic.) 6.20.10 – Did this tonight! It’s only 10:48 p.m. and I’m finishing up the day! – I’m doing a bit better with this – need to really focus on it in July.
Before losing my temper and yelling at the kids, ask them to kneel down and say a little prayer with me for help – did this once today with Caleb and Madi (6.2.10); did this today as I walked up the stairs to talk to Caleb during nap time (6.12.10) – 6.29.10 – It’s been better but there is always room for improvement. I feel I did pretty good tonight about not getting angry, getting down to his level, and trying to talk things through. When he gets tired its really, really challenging though.
I’ll review the Financial and Physical Goals tomorrow!
