Weekly Goals 11/18

What a busy week!!  I can't believe that we are this close to the holidays and the end of the month already!!!

This Week:

Family Goals
  • Spend time with my family- We had a busy week together and then the fun family time stuck in the car for a few hours :)
  • Enjoy family vacation in PA visiting Thomas the Train- We are leaving on Friday so I am scheduling this post ahead of time to make sure that it posts while we are away just in case I don't have internet or time :)  We are looking forward to a great trip.
  • Get to Preschool on time- We got to school on time without too much fighting
  • Playdate with friends at their house- My little man had a grand time visiting his friends new house and wanted to make sure that he got a chance to play in every room in their big new house.  It was fun although Dylan seemed to get exhausted and overtired quickly.
  • Storytime at the library- We had a wonderful storytime at the library and got to make turkeys, a farm with a fence to hold our turkeys, coloring a turkey and a fly pie (from one of the books we read).  The great part is that we got to listen to stories, sing songs, decorate a turkey with feathers and do all kinds of crafts.  Keeping the kids entertained is always a lot to undertake!!  It was great and the librarian did wonderfully!
Personal Goals
  • Cut coupons- Yeah me!! I got my coupons cut on Sunday.
  • Get coupons at library on Friday- Crossing my fingers and we are going to go to the library before we leave today but I am hopeful but not optimistic because it has been Saturday for the last few weeks before the papers turn up.  I will have to try to gather them from other libraries next week when we get back.  I guess I know what I am doing with my break on Monday.
  • Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- Somehow this has been hard but with two nights that I didn't shut off the computer, I made up by shutting it off for most of the day and every time we left the house.  Hoping for a better week next week :)
  • Read books- Did a lot of reading and not a lot of finishing books.  Hoping to finish two books over the trip since I will be staying in the same room with my little man and that means that we won't be able to watch TV or do much after he goes to bed :(  Lots of reading will be accomplished.
Home Management Goals
  • Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I kept things clean for the week while we were home and tried to clean up as we were leaving.  We certainly did keep a lot of things in the kitchen until the last possible minute with lunch and dishes being done until we were walking out the door!!
  • Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- I did the dishes on Sunday and Monday (I think) and kept things mostly cleaned for the rest of the week.  There wasn't any morning that there was a pile of dishes, usually just something soaking that needed to be cleaned.
Blog Goals
  • Post one post everyday- Done
  • Make a new recipe and post- All new recipes are posted and this is a short week and new recipe for Homemade Shake n Bake posted.
  • Schedule at least 7 posts so that can spend more time with family- Done
  • Review book reviews completed during the week- Still reading the same books but making progress :)
  • Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- Done
  • Post Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Done
