Weekly Goals 5/19

We have had a busy week and I am ready for a rest!  We had company all week and Saturday was the big garage sale in my friends neighborhood.  By Friday afternoon, I really needed a nap.  After everything packed into the week, I wanted a nice relaxing weekend!  HAHA!!!  I did the garage sale on Saturday and then I really was ready to drop.  I added some money to my pocket which I was going to promptly spend at a massage which I desperately needed.

This Week:

Family Goals
  • Spend time with family including grandma and grandpa- We had a busy week this week with company in and a million things to do.  There wasn't a lot of breaks in the action so we spent a lot of time together :)
  • Cowboy storytime- We had a good storytime even though getting both grandma and little man out the door so we were a little late.  I am not happy being late but I guess I need to get used to it because I have too many people to get out the door and too little time to do it in :)
  • Storytime at Barnes and Noble- We went to the Mom storytime and they all stayed quiet through 5 books!  It was sort of amazing.  They did a coloring picture and a flower craft from cupcake liners.  We had a blast.
  • Playtime at Play N Learn- We haven't been to Play N Learn in ages and we were due for a visit.  We met up with some friends that had a younger boy and it wasn't very crowded so we got the run of the place.  Since we were all the way out in Chantilly, we also went to Target and Aldi's.
Personal Goals
  • Cut coupons- I know that this is hard to believe but I got all of my coupons (3 inserts) cut before my parents got here because I knew that I would have to get them out of the way and that there wouldn't be any time....  YEAH me!!!
  • Get coupons on Friday- Ummm, it is Friday again? I sort of had so many other things on my mind that I forgot the papers again.  I called my husband and he stopped to pick them up on his way home from work on Friday because I had the yard sale on Saturday so I couldn't go and get them when the library opened.
  • Go to PT for TMJ- My appointment was set to 5:30 so I had to leave at 5 pm so that left no time to get ready for dinner so I prepped during the day and hoped for a good dinner when I got home from the PT :)
  • Substitute teach at preschool- Super excited to get in my last time subbing for the year and hoping that this puts me in a good place for seeing if they have a job in the next few years.  I guess time will tell! 
  • Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I got it off 6 nights.  I did forgot one night with the change in schedule and the company but I left it off a few times we left the house and most of the day.  Sadly, I turned it off to leave the house and found that my father wanted me to look up something else so I had to turn it back on.  Oh well!
  • Finish reading Wishing on Willows and Playful Learning- Finished both books and then read Christmas letters, Back on Blossom Street and started on the next Spenser book!! 
  • Read more books about science and math to figure out some summer plans- I didn't get a lot of other things with the teaching read but I did make a nice pile in my room so I guess I need to get reading soon!!
  • Garage Sale!!!  I am not sure why I forgot to put this on my list but I am doing a garage sale with my friend in her neighborhood.  It was a lot of work to try to get ready with company in the house but I took over most of my stuff in two loads.  Super sweaty because of course it was 90 degrees on the day that I had to move everything.
Home Management Goals
  • Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- With company all week, we have had a lot of dishes and a messy kitchen.  I have cleaned it everyday and run the dishwasher everyday!  I have tried to keep it pretty clean but just two extra people in the house make it that much more challenging.
  • Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- We have washed a lot of dishes and cleaned up the kitchen as much as we could each night.
Blog Goals

  • Post one post everyday (schedule 7 posts so that can spend more time with family)- Done
  • Review book reviews completed during the week (if done)- Done
  • Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I didn't get a lot done because we had company but I have a few things posted.  I should have made a
  • Post Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, and Thrifty Thursday Tip- I tried to get everything posted ahead of time but I had real issues because they changed the picture upload process and my pictures wouldn't load!  UGH!  I finally got the Thrifty Thursday post up.
