Weekly Goals 11/11

This was a busy week with the time change throwing the little man into a confusion.  It is hard to get to sleep some night and other nights he is ready to go to bed at 5pm.  We had a few naps hoping that it was going to help reset the clock but all week has gone on and it is still not working since little man was up at 4 am on Saturday morning and crashed on the couch at noon!!  Here is hoping that another week under our belt is what we need :)  I hope to get a little more done this weekend so that I am ahead of the game for next week!!

Last Week:

Family Goals

• Spend time with my family- It was a busy week but we got to have dinner together every night which is always a good time.
• Get to Preschool on time on Wednesday and Friday- Having the shorter week made it harder to make it to school because the schedule was disrupted but we made it there on time everyday.
• Go to Preschool Conference- We both made it to conference and got a chance to talk to the teacher which was a nice opportunity because we don't get to see her very often.
• Playdate with friends at the house- We went to a friends house on Monday and Thursday and had friends over to play here on Wednesday.  It was a busy week and kept us running.  Luckily, ending in a few naps to ease the bad transition with the time for both little man and myself.
• Music at the library- We went to library under protest from the little man and got to sing in English and Spanish.  Learning lots of fun songs and stories.  Little man got up and danced and sang.  Mommy with slightly broken toe was a little slower moving :(

Personal Goals

• Vote- My little helper went with me during our day of errands.  He was a little confused when he could see the playground out the back window and we were stuck standing in a line.  He also did tell the person in front of us that we were behind the other guy.  I had to tell him that we were behind the other guy through the whole line but that man had a name that started with A-K and we were in the other line.  With only two voting machines, it took a long time to get through the line but luckily we were only there for about 45 minutes.  We also learned how to spell VOTE from all the signs.
• Haircut (hopefully better than last time to last through the rest of the year)-  I had planned on going somewhere to get my horrible haircut fixed and my friend (who is licensed to cut hair) said that she would fit me in before she left for the holiday with family.  The kids got to play and I got my hair fixed.  What could be better!!!
• Cut coupons- I thought about cutting the coupons a few times this week and I didn't do anything until Saturday when I realized that it was the end of the week so I better buckle down.  I got almost done when I looked up and saw that it was dark so I went outside to try to help clean up all the toys and tools in the yard.  It took forever to get the little man rounded up from the neighbors house so the last few were being cut late into the night.  Here is hoping that I work on next weeks coupon a little earlier :) 
• Get coupons at library on Friday- They didn't have them on Friday but I went on Saturday and got the papers.
• Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I shut off the computer and kept it off a lot to save energy and rest my poor laptop so that it acts better the next day :)
• Read books- I read some this week but I didn't finish any books since the week was so busy.

Home Management Goals

• Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I cleaned up lots this week and might have done it more than once everyday to stay clean after baking :)
• Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- Two nights, I cleaned everything but one or two things that were soaking.  I tried to do my best to stay on top of the dishes.  I had one day that I was baking that the dishes got a little crazy but I caught up and got them all cleaned.

Blog Goals

• Post one post everyday- Done
• Make a new recipe and post- Done!  I made a Garlic Pork Chop which will be showing up soon. 
• Schedule at least 7 posts so that can spend more time with family- Done
• Review book reviews completed during the week- Didn't finish any books this week
• Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I got a bunch of things done this week especially since I was behind since I was busy with super doubles.
• Post Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Done
