GFTW Fifty One: Do You Remember This Feeling?
Mom: Soak up all the wonder of the week. Sing, read, color, dance, imagine, and BE.
Home: Pick up house for ~30 min each day. Execute my gift wrapping plan so it's all done by the 24th.
Athlete: Be mindful of my back. I pulled something a few weeks ago, and keep lifting the kidz/heavy bags and not letting it rest.
Health: Remember my dear friend Ms. Sparkling Water at the four dinner/holiday/Santa/Xmas Eve parties we have this week. Be proactive and bring my own!
Personal Growth: Tis' the season...find tiny gestures of good will to do as they come up. Very simple. A smile, wave, open a door, let someone in front of me, a compliment. simple.
As always, I write these all on a bookmark I keep in my organizer and attempt to review it each morning as I chug my coffee and plan my day. That's what's (generally) goin' on for me. Now you? How is YOUR holiday week looking like? Would LOVE to know!

Again, my goal this week is simple... survival. (All 4 kids are sick and I just got over what they have. And hubby is working extra for the next 2 weeks on a big project). I know I really should break it down a little more... lol. Okay, my new goal is to go make up a plan as soon as I finish this comment!
Take care of that back issue. Those things get better faster if given time right away. But I know you know that ;-)
Have a fantastic holiday!
I want to read the bee keeping books that I check out.
Watch some fun movies with the kids like The grinch.
Embrace winter and work on my core,arms, and back. I have a pullup bar and mats on the basement floor right in front of the tv that is hooked up to the internet....no reason not to work out down there.
Stay caught up on the laundry. It helps heat up the house :)
Get my goals for 2011 nailed down!
That picture is so sweet.
Gift wrapping. Yeah. I better get on that.
Rest up. Hope the that pulls is healed this week with some proper nursing.
You goals always make me feel centered and thankful!

Athlete/Health- Plan ahead and be proactive (it's going to be a long but awesome 2 weeks of "let's find a spare moment and use it!" and "let's bring my own food/drink")
Teacher- Is it awful if I say, "survive?" really... they likely don't want to be there this week....
So... Trick 'em into Learning! :-) Work with their "I just wanna hang out and chat" and have them do "hang out and chat" presentations! :-) (I'm thinkin' this will work... plus it's review... plus a grade keeps 'em on their tip-toes :-)
Or maybe I'll toss in a little EXC (Extra Credit that they've been begging me for...) :-)
Family Mem- Be supportive of the folks and the holiday endeavors
Fam Mem 2- Bring a "sanity bag" to extra long events... to stave off "too many humans in too small of a space" reality :-)
YrBk- Get the individ class photos DONE, e-mailed, edited, and also e-mail my colleagues about "stuff"- even if the timing is short ;-)
Personal Growth- Take care of me each day- even 15 minutes.. more yoga, more visualization, a long bath, whatever...
PG2- Continue the 2010/2011 reflection process... fine tune goals.. look at possibilities..etc
Home- Keep it clean...
Friend- Get those h'day cards distributed... and say "thank you" for all that has been done and appreciated. :-)
Merry Wonder Days to All :-)
I love your personal growth goal, that's something I definitely need to be more mindful of while I'm rushing from place to place. Thank you for the reminder!
This week, since I will be off from school, I am planning on running and hitting my last running goal for the year. I'm going to be patient. And do something extra nice for the boyfriend/his family everyday (massage his back, share a homecooked meal with his aunt, or something like that).
1. return to sanity
2. spend lots of time with my family :)
