Lance asked me on Sunday, after a very busy weekend, if I remembered what it was like to have free time. After laughing, I tried to find an answer for him. The truth is we do have free time, though it is a considerably smaller amount than we had before Elisabeth was born. We just feel like we don't have free time becuase we are usually so exhausted by the time our "free" time rolls around that we piddle it away by either searching the web, sending emails, or watching TV.
I decided I needed to make the most of my free time in 2009 by being more productive with the time I have. Gone are the days of watching House re-runs on TV or seeing what good deals I can get on Craigslist.com or eBay. I am going to use my free time to create and organize. Hopefully, I will just be making our lives better than they already are.
To help keep myself accountable for this goal, I plan on recording on my blog my goals for the week. Maybe you will all find it interesting to see what I am up to these days and I hope these publically stated goals will encourage me to actually complete them. Here goes!
My goal this week: Finish smocking Elisabeth's dress that I have been working on since the beginning of December. I am so close!
Next week's goal: Finish sewing the dress I smocked this week.
Wish me luck!

Great idea with the weekly goals and better use of free time. I could never make my babies anything except a bottle. I'm just not creative, nor do I enjoy these type of craftr projects. I admire this about you!
