This Week:
Family Goals
Spend time with my family- We got spend a quality weekend together doing yard work and cleaning up all of the brush in the back yard. We took over 20 bags down to the street on Sunday. We also got to go yard sailing to get some fun toys for my son. It was lots of fun and entertaining for him at around $9 spent for lots and lots of toys!!Get to Preschool on time- We did a great job making it out of the house on time in the morning and we were at the front of the drop off line all week.Lunch date on Wednesday at the park- We went to the park and had a little confusion because we were at a different playground then our playdate friends but luckily with the help of modern technology (the cell phone), we met up and played for a long time!- It might not have been on the list because I thought we were on the wait list but we went to storytime, then to the resale store to sell some of Dylan stuff that we weren't using, and then to see his Aunt at work. It was a busy day that ended in a nap on the way home :)
Doctor Appointment- I got in and out in under an hour and wasn't rushed to pick up my little man so it was a win-win.Cut coupons- Yeah! I got the coupons cut and put away by Tuesday which was a little hard because of the busy couponing week. I tried to stay on top of all of the coupons during super doubles so that things wouldn't get out of hand. I think that I did okay but I know that there is a little bit of cleanup after super doubles is all over.Get coupons at library- I didn't used to have this on my list but I added it because I forgot last week!!! UGH!Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- It is almost part of my nightly routine and I have been turning off the computer every night. It makes sense to do it to save energy and save wear on the computer. We use laptops and I am not sure what is best for them but I think that it works well to leave them on all day and shut them off when we are sleeping :)- I also got my indoor plants repotted, my DVD list updated, took stuff to Salvation Army, checked out two resale stores, and recycled. I didn't write these on my to do list because I didn't know how much I could fit into my week. Here is hoping that I know how much that I can fit in next week but I highly doubt.
Finish readingMaking Peace with the Things in Your Life: Why Your Papers, Books, Clothes, and Other Possessions Keep Overwhelming You and What to Do About ItbyCindy Glovinsky- Almost done or given up... not sure which but I will be moving on soon if I don't finish it :)
Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I did a great job keeping the kitchen clean which seemed to be a big challenge because it was messy a lot this week!Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- I did the dishes on Sunday night so that I would be all set on Monday. It is a great way to start the morning. I didn't do the dishes or run the dishwasher on Monday night so Tuesday morning had lots more dishes. In a small kitchen, the dishes seem to be a much bigger pile so much quicker :) I finished up the week with getting all the dishes done on Saturday night!!!
Post one post everyday- Done! I got lots of posts up ahead of time so I was all set.Schedule at least 7 posts so that can spend more time with family- Done. I got lots posted ahead of time and just had a few to work on to get ready for the week.Review book reviews completed during the week- I worked really hard to try to finish the book but it was a busy week with not a lot of reading. Plus the book really wasn't drawing me in but I wrote the post and it should appear next week.Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I have up posts through the end of the month. I worked on tons for next week so that I would be ahead! It is really nice to know that I don't have to worry about the coming week but can work on the next one. I have to get very far ahead because my parents are coming into town for a long weekend which will put me far behind :(Post Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Posted!!

I live in NOVA. Which library has coupons available?
ReplyDeleteAll of them in Fairfax County :) There is a local Fairfax Time available. You can request that one on their website be delivered to your home and/or you can pick them up at the library. I prefer my newspaper dry so I get them at the library. They are also delivered to our Giant and Safeway. There are also boxes near bus stops on the side of the road but those go quickly. It takes a little homework to find the locations near you but it well worth it to figure out the schedule of delivery (usually Friday). If you want to drop me an e-mail (alisonweller@gmail.com) with your location, I can certainly help you find a place near you :)
