February Wrap Up

The time has come again to assess the month's goals and activities.

I have to first state that February has been one of the toughest months I've had to endure in a long time.  And the truth is, it is probably the hardest month I've had to endure professionally.  I have lost trust in many, I have realized those who care about me and support me, and I have made major decisions on where the education of our Ladybugs will continue.

This being said, I have decided to privately blog about my experiences concerning the current school situation, and I will post them "live" when the situation is over or on the last day of school, whichever comes first.  This allows me to still write about what is happening, without having to stop trusting even more people in my circle of friends and acquaintances.  Yes, I have eliminated (blocked) most all the acquaintances from our school.  I have a few more to reassess today.  However, I cannot ignore the melancholy mood I am experiencing.  I am not able to simply "unfriend" people online, but rather I have to completely "block" them so they no longer are able to see ANY of my activity.

Now for the goals:

Goal #1: Read all seven Harry Potter books on my new Nexus 7 tablet.
I am not a whole lot farther ahead on Harry than I was a month ago.  According to the Kindle app on my tablet, I am 50% completed with the third book.  I have been reading other books using the e-reader function, and I was also quite ill earlier this month.

Goal #2: Reclaim my body - mentally, physically, and emotionally.
I successfully feel good about my new haircut.  I got my head cut and colored today, which ends the month on a bright RED note.  Of course with all the additional stress I'm under I must admit I am still neglectful with my body.  However, I did make a doctor's appointment for next Tuesday.  I have had to use Xanex since Monday, and feel as if I need to discuss my options with my doctor.  I am definitely in need of mental support, but hopefully the added psychiatric meds will be short lived.  

Goal #3: Give more.
This month we gave $100 to the American Heart Association Jump Rope For Heart program.  Friends of ours (Mother & Son) are both heart defect survivors.  Their donation page is here: Monty Ingham.  I also devoted a few hours to a dear friend who needed help organizing her home.  Out of the three goals, I think I'm having the most success on this one.  Well, there are still 10 months of the year to go.
