Summer Goals

This is not a bucket list.  Nope.  If you want an example of a great Summer Bucket List, go here.  She's got the right idea.

This is boring stuff I'm going to try to accomplish before I start back to school.  So, boring post alert.

Also, I totally meant to do monthly goals around here, but like I do with most things, I gave up on that within a few months.

Without further ado,  my summer goals:

1. SLEEP IN.  Preferably past six am.  I have this really awful condition.  There's not a name, but I'll make one up- Inability To Sleep In Due To Getting Up Ridiculously Early For Ten Months Straight.  I cannot sleep in to save my life.  Monday was my last day of post planning, and you wanna know what time I was up at on Tuesday?  5:30 am.  Ridiculous.  What makes me the maddest is that when I do have to get up early, I always always always have to set multiple alarms because I cannot wake up, yet when there's no alarm/no set time?  I'm wide awake at 5:30.

I hate my body sometimes.

2. Read the kids' books I have.  I have purchased some really great children's literature books recently, but I want to read them first before I put them in my classroom library.  Plus, I love me some children's lit.  I'm also a sucker for packaging and book covers, so most of these were purchased at our school's book fairs based on covers alone.

3. Make the items for TPT.  I started selling some items on Teachers Pay Teachers, but I have a lot of other great things I could put on there.  Now, since I have all the time in the world, I want to work on that.

4. Go to the pool at least once a week.  Preferably seven times a week, but I'll be happy with three or four times a week.  The weather has to cooperate with this one.  Do you hear that, God?  jkjkjk I don't like bossing God around.

5.  Re-organize my closets.  Just the ones in my bedroom.  I have two, and one has kind of turned into a junk closet.

This is the junk closet...it's blurry- sorry.

My clothes closet with some random junk on the shelves.

6.  This is a biggie, and the only one not likely to happen...turn one of my spare bedrooms into a guest room.  The only reason it might not happen is because that would require buying a mattress and bedframe and that ain't cheap.  I've got everything else- side tables, pictures, decor items, etc, though.

Here's the before pictures...it's a junk room right now.

When you open the door...the stuff in the back left corner is everything I have ready for the guest room.

Kind of blurry, but you get the picture.  It's a mess.

7.  Get a job.  I am tired of enjoying summer break for two weeks and then becoming bored.  I'm like a ten year old myself.  I think a tutoring job will be perfect to help with that boredom, but I have no idea how to find one.  Any suggestions??

8. Complete a Bible study, even if it's by myself.  I think I'm going to do the Nehemiah one on She Reads Truth.  They've already started it, but I like She Reads Truth because you can start them whenever you want.

I think it's pretty manageable.  I'm actually going to get a start on the closet one today.  It's not a pretty day, so I won't be spending anytime outside.

Well, first I gotta finish my show on HGTV.  THEN I'll clean out my closets.  Byeeee.
