Make It Happen Monday

It’s Monday, and that means it’s time to make that to-do list.  And I really need this because today I was feeling particularly overwhelmed with all the little things that need to be done.  That seems to happen when school is upon me.

Here’s my list for the week:

:: finish reading Becoming God’s True Woman by Nancy Leigh Demoss (This has been a great book thus far.  I only have three chapters left to read.)

:: do PHP homework which includes installing xampp and completing the case assignment in the textbook then do the reading for next week’s assignment (about 50 pages–this is an online class so reading the book isn’t optional)

:: finish reading the article about facebook for my Web technologies class and write a summary of the article and my thoughts to post here on the blog

:: go over JavaScript book for the web design program…we are covering JavaScript at a lightening speed, and I’m trying not to get lost…actually, I’m already lost…I’m trying to find my way to understanding

:: read chapters 5-7 in Dreamweaver book and do homework–I’m doing a mock up for my sister’s future cake pop business and the site is very cute thus far.

:: I finally got around to working on a blog project for a friend that I had been searching for time to get done! I’ve made a lot of changes, and I’d like to get everything finalized and installed by this weekend.  I’ll be sure to link to it when it’s done!

:: make out grocery list and gather coupons for Whole Foods later this week

:: make raw chocolate ice cream & more raw chocolate syrup

:: work on social networking set ups for this blog

:: renew library books and html5 video before I get charged late fees (another reason I missed blogging last week–I watched an almost 3 hour video on html5 which is now being used for website design.  Lots of cool new elements!)

That’s it! Happy Monday!

I made up our February family calendar last night.

You can scrape me off the floor on February 23rd.

Seriously.

We or should I say mainly *I* will be extremely busy in February. I’ll be finishing up a web design program that I’ve been doing since the end of December, and going to school at night at the local community college (two nights a week). Doing the web design program has been easy so far because it’s been mainly review of things I learned last semester at the community college, but starting on February 1st, it’s going to get a lot harder because for the month of February, I’ll be learning JavaScript and Flash, two things I don’t have much experience using.

The web design program ends February 22, and I’ll feel a whole lot better after that.  My head may be ready to explode, but I’ll be happy to have the program completed and be able to concentrate on other classes I’m taking at the community college. I’ll be glad to finally know how to use Flash and JavaScript, too.

This week our schedule is full but manageable.

Here’s my to-do list for the week:

:: make out grocery list for Whole Foods to shop on Tuesday (I saved $10 there last week using coupons!)

:: work on blog design project that I never got to last week (must finish!)

:: workout at the fitness center two days this week

:: go to library with kids and check out new books plus pick up book on hold

:: look for a recipe and make cookies with Isaac

:: cook with David

That’s it! Happy Monday!

Monday is here again.  I’m currently on break at the facility where I’m doing a two-month web design program, so, I thought I’d get my list up since I used most of my morning getting ready and preparing my lunch, snacks, and a snack for my family.  I usually get my blogging done in the morning, but I didn’t even get a chance to touch the computer before I left the house.

Anyway, here is my to-do list for the week:

:: get a prescription filled at Jewel

:: finish a design project that I’m currently working on

:: help Breanna finish her picture frame project that I never got to last week

:: go to Walmart and use coupon that is expiring today to get two free photo greeting cards

:: make out list for Whole Foods to shop on Tuesday

:: return a book to the community college bookstore for Ruben’s class which ended up being canceled

:: mail textbook that I sold on half.com!  Yay!

:: put away coupons

:: make a rough schedule for each day this week

That’s it.  Happy Monday!

Monday has once again rolled around!  I would be a little more excited about the new week except that I have a long class today, and I didn’t feel like getting out of bed this morning.  I had set my alarm clock for 5:00am, and had it been within arms reach I probably would still be under the covers (I’m writing this at 6:04am), but I thought better last night and put it on the dresser where I knew I would physically have to GET UP to turn it off.

And I did exactly that.  I jumped out of bed when that alarm went off, and once I was up, I was up.  I forced myself not to lay back down, but rather begin my day so that I wouldn’t end up waking up late and running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to hurry out the door while thinking to myself that this could have been avoided had I simply listened to my alarm.

Okay, enough of that.  Here is my list of to-do’s for this week:

:: Make a menu plan for our lunches and dinners this week

:: List textbooks to sell on ebay

:: Send two emails that I’m behind on

:: Write out a rough schedule for each day this week (I just started doing this last week, and it’s working well.  I’ve found that in the season of life that we are in right now, each day can look completely different from the next so a one-size-fits-all schedule doesn’t work.  Instead, I’m writing a daily schedule, usually the night before or in the morning for each day, and it’s working out very well.)

:: Help Breanna finish making the picture frame project she got for Christmas

:: Make out a list for Whole Foods for Wednesday grocery shopping

:: Finishing clipping and put away coupons

:: Take “before” pictures and post them

And that’s it.  I’m hoping to get my before pictures taken this evening, and I’ll try to get them posted before I go to bed tonight.  I wanted to do them last night, but I got lost watching videos on how MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) and Aspartame are so unhealthy for us.  Eye opening for sure!

Happy Monday!
