Weekly Goals 1/27

Another week gone by so quickly and I wonder what happened to January because I think that I missed it!  I don't know what happened but I think that we were super busy.  I am not sure what we ended up doing for most of it but I guess that mostly it was around the little man's birthday.  Can you believe that the end of this week is February???  I hope that you had a great month and enjoyed the cold weather.  I am just confused when it is 60 one day and snowing the next.  I can't get used to this winter weather this year but I am bracing myself for more. 

Last Week:

Family Goals
  • Spend time with family- We had a great week and lots of great quality time with a three day weekend with a trip to IKEA and other fun activities.
  • Get to preschool on time- We had a great week getting to school.
  • Holiday playdate at a friends house- We got the sickness and didn't make it out of the house!!  UGH :(
  • Talk about Rocks at the library- We made it to the library even though he was still a little sick because he was going crazy stuck at home and the little man fell asleep in the back of the car two minutes before we got there.  Yup, fell asleep at 10:30 am  and said that he wanted to sleep.  I got him into bed when he we got home and he slept for three hours.
  • Playdate with friends at the house- We had friends come over and play in between snow storms.  Thanks goodness because my little man is going stir crazy with this weather and keeps asking when we are going outside...except he HATES the cold.
  • Dentist for little man- He had a fabulous time at the dentist.  He got his teeth brushed with a flamingo toothbrush (the lady asked him to guess what animal it was... I told her that I didn't even know what it was).  He got his new lion toothbrush, a basketball bouncy ball, an animal print balloon with a giraffe tied on, stickers, and strawberry chapstick.  I tell you that he comes out of there with more toys than Chuck E. Cheese. (okay, we haven't been there but I can only assume).
  • Birthday party at a friend from school for little man- We had a great time at our friend's birthday party.  We played with lots of friends and lots of new toys.  Little man said that he really liked the chocolate ice cream :)
Personal Goals
  • Cut coupons- I didn't get any coupons last week because the newspaper was finally at the library with no inserts.  Of well!
  • Get coupons at library on Friday- I went on Friday at 11:45 and there was nothing yet.  My husband nicely stopped on the way home and he got me my papers.  They had the coupons from last week and this week so I was more than happy!  Now I have lots of cutting to do this week.
  • Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I shut the computer off every night this week and did great with keeping it off.
  • Read rest of The MoneySmart Family System: Teaching Financial Independence to Children of Every Age by Steve Economides and Annette Economides- Finished on Sunday and wrote review
  • Start next book- Decided on the next Robert Parker book and finished it on Tuesday and wrote review.  I started his next book on Tuesday at bedtime which was quickly finished.  Review posted and on to the next book but panic- no more library books.  I picked a book off the shelf waiting to be read.  It was an English book which always takes me a little to get into because of the language and foreign references but once I got in, I was reading.  Luckily, still going to be working on that book next week.  I did get a bunch of books from the library as well, just in case :)
  • Dentist appointment- Not the most comfortable when I was at the dentist but I was up and running the next day like nothing happened just like the old days.  I am feeling so much better and I can't wait to get the last crown in mid-February.  That will be my last dental appointment from the last 6 month check up and then I have my cleaning and 6 month check up in March (yup just a month from my last appointment from last time).  I am looking forward to getting a clean bill of health (mostly because I think that my dental insurance will again be done).
Home Management Goals
  • Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- Done!  I cleaned the kitchen more times than I can count this week but I did also do a lot of baking and cooking which always makes a big mess.  I got a new handheld broom for Christmas so I clean up with the dry swiffer and then sweep it neatly into the handheld dust pan with the broom.  I am so excited every time that I do that but I am sure the new thrill of my new toy will wear off soon :)
  • Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- I haven't done a great job getting the dishes done the night before but my husband has picked up the slack and cleaned most of the dishes at night and in the morning!!  What a great husband!  I don't know if I get credit but since they were done, I am still crossing this off the list.  I finally did the dishes all by myself on Saturday night after going to the grocery store.
Blog Goals
  • Post one post everyday- Done.  I got them all posted ahead of time.
  • Schedule at least 7 posts so that can spend more time with family- Done.  I got them all posted ahead of time.
  • Review book reviews completed during the week (if done)- I finished my books and scheduled my reviews.
  • Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I got lots of posts done and I have the rest of the month already scheduled.  I was hoping that it would keep me ready for a visit from my parents when I don't get any work done but they delayed their visit so I have to keep the nose to the grindstone a little longer to make it through their visit in February.
  • Post Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Done
