Goals for fall

I thought that since we're wrapping up the summer goals post, it might be a good idea to start one for our goals for the fall/winter/school year.

My goals are:

1. Get my house in order while the kids are at school. I need to get into some sort of cleaning routine.

2. Get my learner's again, and get some practice driving so that I can take my road test

and

3. Find a way to supplement my income that I can do from home (or mostly)

Re: Goals for fall

Hmm... I want to

-keep on top of all of my coursework, and do reasonably well in all my classes
-do prenatal yoga
-figure out a way to eat healthy again (this pregnancy has thrown me for a loop)
-get this child potty trained, weaned, and/or weaned from cosleeping
-meditate
-keep spending time with friends, don't get too distracted by school

...Yeah, I think that's it. I'm trying not to bite off more than I can chew right now because I'll be spending most of the fall in my first trimester, and last time that was just the worst one.

Re: Goals for fall

- Birth a healthy baby.
- Spend lots of really good quality time with both F and with new baby.
- Visit Kindergartens and find a good one for F.
- Earn enough money to cover expenses.
- Be a supportive of my partner's schooling.
- Start jogging again (I'm determined that I want to run the Boston Marathon before I leave this city, but I haven't really been jogging at all this pregnancy, so I kind of need to start from square one).
