Read the Book of Mormon at least once by the end of 2009 (twice would be better, but we have to start small.) I am doing okay. I am almost through 1st Nephi. I know small book, long month, but I struggle. I am at least reading 2 to 3 times a week. Better than not at all like before.
Attend the Temple at least twice a month. (That may sound easy to some, but for David and I it is really hard, we are horrible Temple attenders.) Didn't happen. I haven't renewed my recommend yet so I didn't make it, but Dave is giving me my interview tomorrow so I will have it signed on Wednesday by the stake.
FHE every Monday. That's another one we are horrible at. We spend a lot of time together on Monday and we always try to do something, but we forget to add the spiritual part in there, so that's really my goal. Doing GREAT. We had it every week but this week, and I think we missed because we were all sick.
Make job charts for me and the kids. I made them the other day, just in time too. (see previous post). I didn't get one made for me, but I am still trying to figure out how to do that.
Get out of bed and do yoga at least 3 times a week. I have been a pro on this one, once again except for this week, it was fun times and I was sick and just didn't fell like it. And I don't have to get up early, I bought a couple of video's so I have been doing it at night.
Read the Book of Mormon with the kids as part of reading time each night. Not happening, I actually forgot that this was a goal. I know horrible goal if you can't even remember it, but now I have had a reminder and I will get it done.
No computer or TV until the kids are in bed. That is really hard for me, at least the computer part is, the TV is easy. But I am going to start out slow, I get 15 minutes in the morning to just check if anyone emailed or responded. Slow and steady wins the race. I am not fulfilling it completely. I am better though, I don't spend as much time on the computer all together. This goal is on my mind a lot and if I find myself at the computer in the middle of the day, I make it quick and get off. Baby steps.
My final goal should work well if I succeed with the last one. Spending time playing, teaching, crafting and all around spending time with my kids. Since I spend so much time worrying about the computer, with that out I should be better at paying attention to them. (Bad mom I know). Yes I am doing better. I am not as sharp with the kids and I am purposely making time instead of being dragged into it kicking and screaming. I think by working on my other goals it makes this one a lot easier.
Stay tuned in at the end of Feb for another update. If I succeed I just might add a few more.

AWESOME! I am glad you are doing so great on your goals!
You think YOUR memory is bad! I forgot to set goals altogether! I am going to do it today. You are much more ambitous than I am. But you have inspired me friend! Thanks for staying in touch! You are an AWSOME mom, don't ever think differently!
I love that you are being open and honest about them :) I struggle with lots of the same stuff also and it;s nice to know I am not the only one! Good luck!
you rock! keep up the good work. i think that if you get better every month you are doing great. setting goals doesn't mean you have to be perfect from the beginning. just keep working. you are an inspiration.
