intentional living, little by little

No.180: Intentions for the End of September

I’m back from a much-needed internet break!  September is flying by and I’ve started to feel the beginning of burn out: our busy schedule, lots of new responsibilities, and staying up way too late were taking its toll.  I’ve been a frazzled, hot mess!  So last week, I turned off the horrible news stories, put my running plan on pause and tried to relax.  I wouldn’t say it fixed everything, but it’s a start. 

INTENTIONS FOR THE END OF SEPTEMBER

  • SLOW DOWN – life is full, but letting it feel crazy is a choice
  • buy new sneakers for M
  • finish wrapping Sophie’s birthday gifts
  • reach 50 listings in my Poshmark closet
  • sell at least 8 items on Poshmark
  • order poly mailers and tissue paper
  • send a letter in the mail
  • figure out the front porch staining situation
  • attend our local “Food Truck Wednesday” for dinner
  • start Don Quixote (100LT #31)
  • decide on a paint color for Sophie’s room
  • decide on a paint color for the little boys’ headboards

    PREVIOUS INTENTIONS

    If you’re reading on your phone or in a reader, be sure to click over to see what I checked off the list!
    • wrap birthday gifts for TJ and Sophie
    • attach glow-in-the-dark stars on the little boys’ room ceiling 
    • organize the toys in their room too (bring in the bookshelf?)
    • buy new sneakers for M and S
    • replace dryer balls (I ordered these)
    • go through the kids’ fall clothes and see what needs to be tossed/purchased
    • sign up for Turkey Trot 10K in November (still debating whether to pass this year)
    • beat my personal best 5K time (my 5K was postponed until November because of the hurricane)
    • organize my closet (still not perfect, but a BIG improvement!)
    • STOP putting books on hold at the library

    What about you?  What do you hope to accomplish in the next two weeks?
