Weekly Goal 11/4

The storm and Halloween make a quick and busy start to the week.  I don't know what actually happened this week but it certainly did go quickly.  I hope that I got everything done that I was supposed to but I have that nagging feeling that I forgot to do something.  I am sure that I will do it next week!!!

Last Week:

Family Goals
  • Spend time with my family- We got a lot of quality time with "three Sundays" as my husband said because his office was closed from the storm on Monday and Tuesday.
  • Halloween party- We had lots of friends over and had lots of fun!  We even had a ghost visit!!
  • Get to Preschool on time- We were cancelled on Monday :( but made it the rest of the week.
  • Music class- We didn't go because of the weather and closures but maybe next week.
  • Storytime at the library- We didn't make it on the list this week so we opted to go for our grocery store adventure.  Storytime is very competitive in Northern VA so I have a calendar with the dates of the events and when registration open.  If you don't get in the morning of the registration, it might be full.
Personal Goals
  • Cut coupons- I started the process by cleaning up my mess of a coupon basket on Friday.  I cut all of the coupons from my wonderful friends who gave me their extra coupons.  Then, I started to separate the inserts to get them neat and ready to cut but my son could not be held off any longer.  The rest of the heavy lifting was started on Saturday...so much for being ahead :(  I didn't finish...  oops!!!  I guess I have more catching up to do!
  • Get coupons at library on Friday- They didn't have any on Friday so I went back on Saturday to grab my books on hold and the newspapers.
  • Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I had one night where I shut all the programs and the computer somehow didn't shut off but other than that, I got my computer shut down every night.
  • Read books- I got to read some books during the extra long weekend since my husband was here to help with my son.  Working on moving things on bookshelves to figure out which books are next on the list.  I got a few new ones from the library and still a few from my neighbor that I have to finish so you will see more reviews up soon!
Home Management Goals
  • Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I kept the kitchen as clean as possible.  I tend to mess up the kitchen more when everyone is home so I am not sure if I stayed ahead or not :)
  • Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- Super challenging to remember what I did this week because we had the "four day weekend" with the storm but I don't think that I did all the dishes the night before.  I decided to do them Friday night for a good start to the weekend (especially since there weren't that many left). 
Blog Goals
  • Post one post everyday- Super glad that I got my posts up ahead of time.
  • Make a new recipe and post- I have some new recipes posted and hope to work on some more soon after getting settled back to normal life after the storm.
  • Schedule at least 7 posts so that can spend more time with family- I had a lot of posts done ahead of time and got to spend lots of time with my family during the storm. 
  • Review book reviews completed during the week- Done and should be up soon.
  • Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I have worked on getting things up ahead of time but I need to work on more Thursday Tips which I haven't done in awhile.
  • Post Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Done
Next Week:
