Happy Tuesday All! Thank you for all the LOVE and SUPPORT y'all have given me. I appreciate ALL of your comments, shares, tweets, insta love, and FB support. I just wanted to let y'all know that I am behind on comments and I DO plan to respond to every comment. Please forgive me. Thanks!
July Update: July was crazy busy....some things got done, while others were pushed to the side. "Operation Mom" is still happening as I type. I think I suffered a week's worth of anxiety plus stress induced sickness' due to this visit and all the craziness that has gone on with my rental. As of right now, blogging has been more like therapy for me and it takes my mind off of all the cleaning that is occurring. The hoard room is now at a place where it is not overflowing into the hall and I can actually walk into the room. YAY! 90% of my rental has been deep cleaned. I need to mop the living room and dust and I think that is it. What I thought would be a small living room mini makeover is at a hold right now. Half the room is completed and I am in the process of making some decisions in regards to finishing touches, so until then...the living room is at a stand-still. The lighting has been switched out and let me say...Light bulbs are NOT cheap! I spent half of my decor budget on purchasing light bulbs for the main living areas in my rental. My much needed command center did not go up and now I am squirming with anxiety inside over it. My babes started school and here comes the paperwork, spelling words, important dates...AND WHAT?...Nowhere to put it. I need to get it done. Hopefully sometime this month Target has a huge sell on stationary decor.

August Goals
1. Get my body back---this is the same goal of mine from last month. I did not actually physically go to the gym, but I did lug furniture up and down the stairs and in and out of rooms...so if that counts, I did workout to some degree. Ha! No but for real, whether I start eating a bit healthier or decide to go to gym or actually put my stability ball to use...it will do my body and my mind good.A small part of me has been contemplating on canceling my gym membership. I have been super busy with blogging that it has been running into my gym time. BUT I love going to the gym and it is hands down the best gift (BESIDES my children) the mister has given me....I will have to figure something out. I was also thinking that I can always work out 3 days out of the week compared to the 5-6 days I was working out to prior to summer. 2 days at the gym (all strength), 1 day at home (stability and whatever weights I have). When I start back up, I want to do it my way>>>>NO CARDIO!

2. Get things DONE!---I would love to complete my living room makeover this month and a small bedroom makeover. I think it is doable, hopefully I am not setting myself up. 2 out of 3 of the babes are in school so the house is cleaner and projects can start happening. So let's GET IT!
3. Command Center---I need this ASAP! Ideas....Pinterest here I come!
4. Kids fall bucket list---After reading a friends summer bucket list, I decided that my kids should create a fall bucket list since they really did not have much of any summer to say the least. As stated in an earlier post, my baby girl was sick the whole summer so at home we stayed. It was boring! Now that everyone is feeling better, I would love to go out and do stuff with them.

These are my PERSONAL (non blogging) goals. They will most likely start after my parents leave from their visit. For some reason, I cannot focus when visitors or the mister is home...Anyone else like this?
