Weekly Goals 10/14

This was the longest week ever!  We got so much stuff done around the house with my husband working on ripping out baseboard molding and putting in new molding.  It was a big project that has been on his list for a long time.  We also cleaned out a lot of the basement while getting ready for the garage sale.  I was very profitable to clean up the basement since we made $110.25!!!  YEAH!!! I was super excited because I didn't think that I had as much as I did for the last garage sale over the summer but I guess I did pull out a lot!!  With still lots to sell, we are going to have another yard sale next weekend.  It will be another busy week getting ready to stock another yard sale and clear out the basement!!!

This Week:

Family Goals

• Spend time with my family with a nice long weekend- We had a busy weekend and I was super sad when it was over because another day would have been really nice!!
• Get to Preschool on time- I can't believe how quickly the week went and it is already the weekend!
• Storytime at library- We had a million things to do and I cancelled both of the storytimes that we had this week to do other things.  We went to a playdate at a friends house on the first day and then we went to My Gym with a friend on another day instead of storytime.
• Meetup with friends at the park- We had a great time playing at the playground and it was a nice change to not be super hot or super cold so that we got to enjoy the park.
• Lunch date with friends after school (maybe at the park)-  We had a great time having lunch and then we went to play at our friends house so we had a super long playdate!

Personal Goals

• Dentist- I forgot to put this one my list so I guess I was just blocking it.  Glad it is finally over!
• Garage Sale- I didn't know I was going to be doing a garage sale this week but I am the first to jump on someone else's hard work and do a garage sale at someone else's house.  My neighbor called me earlier in the week and said that she was having one and wanted to know if I wanted to drag some stuff out to her house.  I still had piles of stuff together from the last garage sale so I was quick to say yes.  Then, I spent the week trying to pull out other stuff that we need to get rid of so that we don't have to move it (cross our fingers that we are getting ready to move eventually).
• Cut coupons- I started cutting coupons and got one insert done on Wednesday but then my son was done cutting so Mommy was too :) I finally got the second one done on Saturday night.
• Get coupons at library- UGH!!!  I totally didn't make it out of the house on Friday trying to get ready for a garage sale while the little man was at school.  It slipped my mind that it was Friday.  I was going to go on Saturday and I totally forgot with the yard sale and birthday party.  I am crossing my fingers that I can collect enough through the week at other libraries.
• Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I shut off the computer every night.
• Continued reading Pattern of Wounds (A Roland March Mystery) by J. Mark Bertrand  and Momfidence!: An Oreo Never Killed Anybody and Other Secrets of Happier Parenting by Paula Spencer- I finished the first book at the beginning of the week and started working on the second book.  I made it very far through the second book with only a few pages left to go which I hope to finish tonight when I go to sleep!

Home Management Goals

• Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I did so many dishes this week and tried to keep on top of them during the day but they pile up so quickly.  Have you ever wanted to run the dishwasher when it wasn't full just because you knew that it was going to be busy later and you would end up with a pile on the counter?  It drives me crazy to have a backup of dishes!!!
• Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- I did all the dishes (with some help from my husband when I was starting to loose steam) on Monday night to prepare for a busy week.

Blog Goals

• Post one post everyday- Done
• Make a new recipe and post- Done, YUM!!
• Schedule at least 7 posts so that can spend more time with family- Done
• Review book reviews completed during the week- Done
• Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- Done
