Weekly Goals 7/8

This was a tough week since we lost power on Friday night and didn't get it back until Tuesday afternoon.  Since we were out of power for 87 hours, we were sleeping on the floor and enjoying camping in our own home.  It really does teach me that we need to be better prepared for these types of emergencies.  Hope that you had a more relaxing week!

Last Week:

Family Goals

• Spend time with my family- Lots of quality time without power after the storm
• Go to the friend's birthday- My son enjoyed the birthday party so much that we even got a nap that day with no AC
• Go to the playdate at friend's house- We have had many fun playdates with our friends who have power so it was super fun to get two days of playdates in a row!!  Thanks tons for having us over.
• Enjoy the 4th with Daddy home- We had a fun family time but spent time recovering after not having any power.
• Go to Movies at the library- Luckily, the libraries got power back so we got to enjoy our morning at the library with picking out books and watching movies.  Then we went to a friend's house to play because it was so hot.

Personal Goals

• Cut coupons- Another thing that can be done without power that was hard to motivate myself to do with the heat and sleeping on the hard floor.  I finally got myself motivated to do it on Wednesday.
• Shut off computer 3 nights to save energy- HAHAHA!!  My computer has been off all week because we lost power on Friday night and didn't get it back until Tuesday afternoon.  I will try hard to turn it off for the rest of the week too!!

Home Management Goals

• Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 6 days of the week- Cleaned up right until the power went out and we haven't cleaned the kitchen since then because it has been too hot for the extra energy.  I cleaned it the second the power came back on with two loads in the dishwasher and lots of dishes washed.
• Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- The power outage has a pile of dishes in the sink waiting to be cleaned and nothing getting done. I ran the dishwasher twice when the power came on to catch up :)
• Finish going through magazines-  Another task that I should have been able to do without power but I didn't get them all done.  I went through a few piles and stopped.

Blog Goals

• Post one post everyday- I got one thing up everyday but only because I did the work last week...plus I wrote the posts that I wanted to post in a word document so that I could add them with the precious seconds that I got on the internet.
• Schedule at least 5 posts so that can spend more time with family- Thank goodness because I didn't have any power to write any more posts and I got them all up last week before the power outage.
• Post Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, and Thrifty Thursday Tip- I got them all up before the power went out!!
