You're probably wondering about the title...my daughter Isabella loves to clean-she comes by it honestly. I am a shameless clean freak. One morning I was working away in the kitchen while she had the mop I'd left out overnight to dry. And I look over to check on her and my then-7-month-old son, and say the five words I never thought I'd say as a parent, "Isabella, don't mop your brother!" He didn't mind, and she just wanted to make sure he was sparkly. So welcome to my world!

May Goals

May?!?! How on earth are we already at May? Nonetheless, here's where I ended up for last month:

April Goals
Personal Goals:
1. Finish reading Love That Lasts and Too Busy Not to Pray
2. Make Sesame Chicken and Tea Cakes. 
3. Memorize Ephesians 5:15-17, Hebrews 4:12.
4. Write and post five blog entries (I'd love to do three a week, but it's not happening). (This one makes #4)

Marriage Goals:
5. Plan Choose Your Own Adventure Date. (Joshua chose Cheesecake Factory and the Bare Minerals store. I'm not complaining!)
6. Write my husband a love letter.
Mothering Goals:
7. Read Meet Kit with Isabella. 
8. Make resurrection cookies and coffee filter butterflies.
9. Print and prep Letter of the Week Curriculum for letters E and F AND G and H.
Financial Goals:
9. Not purchase anything on a credit or debit card. In looking over our budget on Mint.com, it's just not pretty. (Bought school stuff for the kids.)
Relationship Goals:
10. Send one more care package to the college student I've adopted for the year. (Stuff is on my dining room table. I'm counting it.)

 May Goals

Personal Goals:
1. Finish reading Decision Points.
2. Make Stuffed Zucchini and Nutella Cookies. 
3. Memorize Phil. 1:21, Eph. 6:4, Phil. 4:8, Micah 6:8.
4. "Master" making pie crust. 

Marriage Goals:
5. Plan Choose Your Own Adventure Date. (Joshua didn't like this month's date of having to touch the whole night. Party pooper.)

Mothering Goals:
6. Read another chapter book with Isabella. 
7. Make tin can lanterns.
8. Go on a "date" with each of my children.
Financial Goals:
9. Save up for a carpet cleaner. My first inclination is to buy now, clean carpets, then pay it off with Joshua's OT. This time we're going to keep the money separate until we have enough to buy it.

Relationship Goals:
10. Get together with one small group girl.
