#1 main goal: file for divorce

no idea why i've been procrastinating with that..

Do I even have to write it?

Get through the next two semesters of school!!!!

Oh and pay bills, keep the house from falling apart....all of that cool stuff too.

I am with Hiker...
#1 main goal: file for divorce
#2 goal: get the house sold
#3 goal: get all my foster cats adopted to forever homes
#4 goal: move and possible buy a new house
#5 goal: find a better job

Hmmm I might be really stretching myself to have this all accomplished within a year but I am gonna try.

Get a teaching job.

Here is my goal #2 - continue to be very careful with spending and put needs before wants. Thank you SUZE ORMAN!

Potty train Jood (da cat) - winter months = constant litter scooping... oh boy....

1. Get back into working part time
2. Go back to NC to rejuvenate
3. Get my youngest settled into a new city and new college
4. Check one thing off my bucket list

the last two pieces of fallout from my divorce are:
1> I stopped going to the gym with any consistency
2> I started smoking cigarettes again after a 12 year hiatus

2010 I will finally slam the door on this chapter of my life. But can I still smoke the occasional MonteCristo? If not I have a humidor for sale!

Hey, look at what I started! My main goal for next year is to move out of state, and establish myself there. I broke out my goals into categories - family, financial, health, career, house (home improvements), and spiritual.

hikerchic and 4BooBoo - filing for divorce is a big goal. Though, when you check it off, you'll know you worked hard to accomplish that goal.

It's kind of interesting I wrote out my goals, and am currently "tweaking them"...in that process I realized that I'm terrified of getting married. That's ironic b/c I broke up with a boyfriend this year because he wouldn't "marry me." Yeah,...someone has some work to do. ;)

#1 Keep my faith life strong (including getting my daughter to Sunday school every week)
#2 Be a role model for my kids
#3 Take a much needed vacation to somewhere warm and tropical

1. Keep my children happy and safe.
2. Finish School.
3. Get a good job.
4. Move out on our own.
5. Have a car.
6. Continue getting in shape and taking care of myself.
7. Be myself and not give a crap what others think.

OK, I know I'm chatty this morning. The other thing that has helped me from writing out my 2010 goals, is that I have a lot of things I want to accomplish in life outside of a romantic relationship. For someone who has been highly focused on that, it really provided me some perspective. Love should be woven into my life like a thread in a rug, impacting so many areas in my life. It shouldn't be a big piece of thread in the middle of my life, which provides a large vulnerable area. By weaving love into my life it makes my life stronger.

For me:

l) finishing my divorce
2) finish up with what I hope will be the last surgery
3) get my practice back to where I want it
4) travel a little bit probably toward the end of the year
5) teach family law in my old law school - at least one class
6) begin my cooking classes for pre-teens (and now my friends want me to do one for adults!)
7) finish my craft room!
