FOCUS Goals for week of March 25, 2013

FOCUS Goals for week of March 25, 2013

I am so glad I had the chance to read this book. I have learned so much about Mass, Faith, and have developed a greater appreciation for the Mass and church history. There were times I got chills and tears in my eyes. A wonderful book to read during Lent or anytime. It also left me more at peace with the book of Revelation. Our group was amazing at sharing thoughts, ideas, fears and giving encouragement to each other to continue to learn more. I am thankful for this book and those who took the time to read it along with me!

New Goals, comments, and excuses are in purple below.

Crazy Busy
 

In case you hadn't noticed my lack of score posting I was the crazy busy last week. Well I guess I can't go from chaos to peace in one week.

The kids and I were able to head out of town for part of spring break thus my late posting this week. Being out of town gets me off the hook for part of the week on house goals. Though I should be helping out more at my parents house, but instead I seem to revert to being their child again and not doing much.

Which will I be this week???? I am hoping for the 1st one! Stay tuned to find out!

Peacefully Busy

Crazy Busy

Well last week I barely kept my head above the water and I think I was the crazy busy. I never caught my stove on fire possibly only because I barely had a chance to cook dinner. I am hoping for a little more routine in the schedule this week, maybe.? I begin this week a day behind. I had a lunch I had to work at for Church on Monday so wish me luck on the catch up!

Weekly/Monthly: Read Part III Chapter 1 & 2 in “The Lamps Supper” and answer questions.  I will miss our meeting next week as I will be out of town. This leaves only one more meeting. I will be sad to see it end and to be done with the book. It has been so great learning and growing my appreciation for the Catholic Mass and faith.  Run 4 days. This unfortunately has taken a back seat to all the kids and other activities. Hoping again to do better this week.
