@Kari – Yeah… definitely understandable. No matter how much we try, even as Renaissance Souls, we can only really have a few things going at a time. It’s about the priorities that speak to us at any given time. Hopefully, you’re still getting the chance to do stuff you love. I wonder if you managed to sneak off to the cinema? And thanks for the book recommendation. I’ll keep my eyes open for it. Who wrote the book, I wonder? And on Tiger Tales – I’ll try to write about it as soon as I get the motivation and time. Thanks for your updates!

@Melissa W – Ah, yes. The pure bliss of box-ticking! Glad your planner’s helping. And that you managed to do crafts. You’re so clever with that! I miss the crafting, but something always has to give – and that’s one I decided not to pursue too much for now. Anyway, I love seeing some of your handiwork on your blog whenever you get the chance to post them. Hope you get some fitness time at some stage too.

I understand all about rearranging or letting goals go. I’m afraid any non-school goals of mine have had to be put on hold temporarily due to my workload. I think if I can make it through the next two weeks though it should slow down a bit. I’m rather curious about the Tiger Tales post you plan to do I’m always all for books and movie posts! Have you read the children’s book llama llama mad at mama? I just adore it! I bet your daughter would enjoy it. Oh and movies – I have a half serious goal of attempting to sneak off to the theater in the next week to see the new Alice in Wonderland movie in 3-D. Johnny Depp as the Hatter is going to be great fun!

Good for you for getting on top of your fitness goals. That’s the main thing I’ve dropped this month actually but Poppy free time has been pretty much non-existent the last few weeks. It’s amazing how closely linked our physical health is with our mental health – I hope you’ve experienced some extra mental clarity and energy this last month.
Funnily enough I’ve done quite a bit of craft this month but haven’t had the time to blog about it. I made a fedora for myself (well a practice one anyway, I’ll make one out of ‘good’ fabric now), a pair of shorts for Felix and a flat cap that was supposed to be for Felix but ended up so big that I can wear it. I’m getting out to play group, getting Daisy ready for school next term and continuing to get Felix interested in the toilet so those goals are going along quite nicely.
My DIY Planner is continuing to help me order the tiny amounts of time I have to do my own thing, so I’m glad I took the initial time to set that up again this year. Not only do I have a visual reminder of all the things I want to do but I also get the fun of ticking things off lists and getting that buzz of satisfaction.
