September's Challenge

Alrighty… folks, I can’t believe I’ve been away for so long. July just hit me good and since coming back for my 2 weeks of military training I feel like I’m still playing catch-up.
I’m hoping the start of school and new month well bring me back to my normal self. I have noticed that know that I’m in my 20^th week of my pregnancy I have had a lot more energy and seem to be in a nesting phase, which for me is almost going into overload, when it comes to “getting things done” and planning projects. Hope you guys are ready for me :) I’m making myself tired… LOL
Right now I started working on my filing system @ home. I’ve just about finished up and on Tuesday I should be completely done with that. It felt great to get rid of so much unnecessary paperwork!
By the end of this month I hope to finish getting Mr. Ryder transitioned into a big boys bed. I have plans this weekend to pickup his mattress, and a friend from work gave me a great captains bed. The only thing left for the bed to crib transformation will be getting his bedding together. So this means a fun shopping trip :)
So what are my plans for September: Hope you’re ready?

-         Ryan starts school, so I’m joining the PTA and hoping to get connected with that the 1^st week of the month.

-         Start buying the bedding for baby #3 and find a dresser/ changing table

-         Have new blog/ group up and running on facebook…. The Thrifty Scavenger: A local group of folks who love shopping @ thrift store, yard sales, flea markets and auctions. (I’m really excited about this group and hope it turns into a fun past time)

-         I want to get the kitchen scrubbed down, and finish getting the dining room the way I want it. I really really hope to finally get new curtains.

-         I want to manicure the back and front yard and power wash both front porches, and maybe get them stained finally.

-         Mr. Ryder’s birthday is this month as well so I’ll be working on getting everything together for that!

-         I’m becoming a Scentsy consultant in just a few days, so I’m looking forward to starting that and really getting my feet wet this month.

-         As for  something to do during my light duty time: I hope to finish up my home inventory I started back @ the 1^st of the year and start working on going through my husband’s baseball cards and organizing those.

I know it sounds like a lot but I hope to get most of these things completed if not all of them….
As for my challenge this month! I’m going to challenge myself to get things ready the night before to save time in the morning and hope to wake up by 5:00 every work day!!!!


So that’s it! This is my hopes, dream, goals and challenges for September….What about you??

Happy Thursday Everyone!

Oh Yeah and start working on Mr. Ryder’s Quilt :)
