Weekly Goals 9/30

What a busy week!  I know that I seem to be saying that every week but we did a ton of shopping this week at Harris Teeter and Target, as well as hitting two consignment sales with my parents.  I am beat and don't want to shop again for a long time... which is good which you will know when you see my budget update :)  I hope that I you had a great week and a little less hectic than mine!!

Last Week:

Family Goals

• Spend time with my family- We had a great week and got to spend time with the grandparents too. 
• Get to Preschool on time- Done all week :)
• Science Storytime on Tuesday-  We had an okay time at storytime but he wasn't interested in staying the whole time. We had an even better after reading every book in the library.  Sad thing was that I was a bad mom and forgot to return books to the library and we already has 50 books checked out.  Did you know that there is a limit?  I found out the hard way by trying to checkout the 51st book awhile ago so I won't try that again.  Luckily, I had the distraction because our friends called and told us which park to meet them at so he was super excited
• Lunch date on Tuesday at the park- We had a great time at the park.  Came away with a casualty of a splinter.  You would think with the screams that we got later than night that we were taking out a bullet.  Luckily, a band aid fixed it. 

Personal Goals

• Girls Brunch- We had so much food but it was all super yummy and we all got to catch up.  Sad thing is that I think that we could talk all day so even after leaving I had to send an e-mail
• Dentist Appointment-  Might have been my worst dental experience ever.  They were working on my back two teeth and my mouth was open for at least two hours so I came away from the experience with weird bubbles all inside my lip from the lip being so dry and having things stick to it.  Luckily, I am recovered from the weird bubbles and trying to get over the ache of all of the dental work :(
• Cut coupons- I got all my coupons cut and organized a little more.
• Get coupons at library-  We went on Friday morning and they didn't have any newspapers yet.  We checked Giant too and none.  Didn't make it back until Saturday but at least I got my coupons (actually my mom and husband went and got them for me but they had a tough time because there was a book sale but they got a few papers anyway).
• Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I shut off the computer all week and saved lots of energy and wear on the laptop.
• Read new book of choosing- I was trying to give up on the last book but I am still reading it!  Can you believe it?  I think that this might be the longest time to read a pretty short book but I can't give up because I always feel that it should get better... I will let you know if I ever finish it! 

Home Management Goals

• Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week-  I cleaned up every day this week and I think that I had to clean the kitchen twice on at least two days this week with my really messy baking style :)
• Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- I did this a few times this week but the week is starting to be a little bit of a blur because it was way too long.  I know that I did it on Thursday night because I got everything in the dishwasher and stayed awake after everyone went to sleep to try to get a start on the new day with company.  We make a lot more dishes when we have company and I have to run the dishwasher every night and the pots and pans seem to pile up faster too.

Blog Goals

• Post one post everyday- Done
• Make a new recipe and post- I have made a large number of new recipes this month and I have written up each one shortly after making them to give my opinions and there were a lot of good ones.
• Do September recipe update for recipes completed this month- I am going to have a summary list of all of the recipes at the beginning of October to list off all of the recipes that I tried in the month of September.  It is almost like keeping track of the books that I read each month and seeing how each month goes so I guess this will be something more regular to keep me on track for making lots of new things.  I wrote up the post and I am adding links as the posts with the recipes go live and I will have the post up soon.
• Schedule at least 7 posts so that can spend more time with family- I had a ton of posts up and then they starting popping off and I wasn't replacing them fast enough.  I worked on a few more posts to hope to get back ahead but I got all 7 up for this week.
• Review book reviews completed during the week- Book is still not completed but the review is posted.  I am hoping to finish it tonight!!  Cross your fingers.
• Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I got a few posts posted and a few others in draft so I am moving in the right direction.
• Post Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Done
