I've hardly done any work at all this month. It's fine though. I fell behind on a lot of stuff like school and housecleaning. I felt like I wasn't paying enough attention to my baby. So I've spent the first part of February cleaning the house, catching up on school work, and spending quality time with my little guy.
The house is almost clean at a level that will be easily maintained for awhile even with work, but I still have a paper, project, and final exam coming up in my current class. (I'm in graduate school, in case I never mentioned.)
I think I'm going to scale back my goal for the month to $750 simply so I can give other elements of my life some much needed focus without feeling stressed about it. The baby is getting to a point where he's becoming more independent and soon won't need 24/7 attention, so I'll have a little more space to do work throughout the day instead of having to wait until 10 at night when he goes to bed.

It's definitely understandable to have to scale back sometimes. I've been trying to get focused again but the weather has been killing me.
We had a huge snowstorm over the weekend and another one on Tuesday and Wednesday that left us with a good 4 feet of snow. While it may seem like that would make working easier it's actually made it a lot harder. Between going out in the snow for pictures for the family that lives out of state and my SO being home from work I'm really behind also lol
It should be the other way around... With him being home to play with the little one I should get more done, but I just end up with two kids running around and making a racket ;)

Yeah, it's snowing here and it NEVER snows here. It's crazy. I know what you mean. I'm betting my husband is going to come home from work and try to take our 6 month old out in the snow. Haha.
I've been working on some projects for school since I'm about to wrap up a class and I have to leave the house to work on it or else I'll get nothing done. :)
