Weekly Goals 10/28

It was another long week with both of the parents sick and a little guy with a ton of energy.  I am hoping that this lingering cough is going to take a vacation so that I can get some stuff done and get ahead.  It is already getting to the end of October and I haven't even thought about the holidays yet.  Of course, many people think that this isn't a bad thing but it is very unlike me.  I know we are having Thanksgiving and Christmas here but that is as far as the planning has gotten.   First step, get better... second step, plan the holidays!!!  I hope that you had a great week and have a great plan for next week.

This Week:

Family Goals
  • Spend time with my family- We had a great weekend and enjoyed our evening dinners.
  • Get to Preschool on time- We had a pretty easy week getting to school... sadly the construction is on the way home so it takes a million times longer to get home.
  • Storytime at library- Getting the little man out of the house for storytime is the new fight but he has such a good time when we get there and he has made a new storytime friend so he even sits on the carpet by his little friend.
  • Playdate at our house with friends- We had our friends over to play and my little guy was so eager to have people over that he was dressed and ready to play at about 8 am... sadly, friends weren't here then so there was a little disppointment, until everyone got here.  He was a wild man when everyone left and I wasn't enough entertainment to get through the crazy of the afternoon.
Personal Goals
  • Cut coupons- I actually got this done early!!!  I figured while I was still cutting last weeks that I should get ahead and push through this weeks!!  Super glad that I did.
  • Get coupons at library on Friday- I went on Friday and they hadn't gotten the paper yet.  My husband went on his way home and didn't see any either.  The boys went on Saturday morning when the library opens while I cook lots and they had some so I luckily got my papers.
  • Get last minute things for Halloween party- I bought chili sauce at the store on Monday while grabbing a few other deals.  I got some crackers and other stuff at Harris Teeter on Friday.  I don't know what else will pop up but I know that it will so I am prepared to head back to the store again before the party..
  • Take stuff to Salvation Army- Done!  They wouldn't take the shower curtain rod.. weird right?
  • Doctor's appointment- Done and it took less time then I thought so I had time to do everything else on my to do for my "free" morning.
  • Dentist appointment- I was glad to be over with these appointments until the new year.  My mouth needs a break.
  • Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I shut off the computer all but one night that I forgot.
  • Pick a new book to read- I am reading The Nanny Diaries: A Novel by Emma Mclaughlin and Nicola Kraus which I just finished...review coming soon.  I have a few books that I got from my neighbor that I am going to read next.
Home Management Goals
  • Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the weekThis seems to be the challenge of the week but I more or less got it done.  It is impossible to be sick and motivate myself to get the kitchen clean every day.  I have done my best and cleaned it up as much as possible.  Here is hoping that I feel better next week and so does the kitchen :)
  • Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- I did the dishes on Wednesday night so that there wouldn't be anything in the sink when I had to start getting ready for our playdate.  It was nice to get one thing checked off and out of the way since I knew I had to finish laundry and a few other things in the morning.  I had plenty of time before people came over by planning ahead :)
Blog Goals
  • Post one post everyday- Done
  • Make a new recipe and post- I made a few recipes this week and posted at least two
  • 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
