Weekly Goals 9/1

This week was horrible!  We went to the pool with friends on Monday and Dylan got sick the next day.  We spent the rest of the week in the house hoping to rest up enough for us to leave for our trip to the NY State Fair.  The morning we were supposed to leave, my son woke up with a horrible cough and I woke up with stomach pains (from the medicine that was supposed to help my ear pain). I think that my husband is feeling better but we are a mess here.  I think that I should put caution tape over the door so that no one else gets exposed to all of the germs in this house.  Do you ever have these weeks?  I know it is just one of those things and I should be grateful that it is before school starts but I am super sad that we might miss the vacation that I worked so hard to get to happen. 

Last week:

Family Goals

• Spend time with family- Lots of time stuck enjoying each together in the house all week!
• Pottery Barn Storytime and get book for summer reading- My son got sick so we didn't go!
• Storytime at the library- My son got sick so we didn't go!
• My Gym Summer Camp- My son got sick so we didn't go!
• See extended family out of town - Didn't get to go :(  I am bummed!!  Home with sick son and not feeling great myself.t I
• Go to NY State Fair - Didn't get to go :(  I am bummed!!  Home with sick son and not feeling great myself.

Personal Goals

• Cut coupons- Friday morning I got all four past inserts cut before going and getting the new weeks inserts.  I also cleaned out my whole coupon basket.  It shuts again and it much better to lug around.
• Get coupons on Friday - Went to the library and got my papers before they were too picked over.  Hoping to get a jump and cut them soon but I am still dealing with the finger injuries from all the cutting that I just did :)
• Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- My computer was off most of the week since I didn't have a lot of time to actually be on it with my sick little guy needing lots of attention.
• Continue to read Plantation by Dorothea Benton Franks- I finished it and really liked it.  Review posted soon.
• Read next book by Debbie Macomber or Robyn Carr- I started the book before we were supposed to leave and finished it when we were supposed to be in the car.  When, I went to the library, I got the next on in the series and started immediately.  I put the next two on reserve so I hope to get them next week but the holiday might get in the way.

Home Management Goals

• Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I tried to keep the kitchen clean most of the week but we spent 3 whole days at home and made a big mess of the kitchen since we were here all day.
• Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- I washed all of the dishes on Wednesday night so that Thursday would be an easier morning before our trip...  we ended up all rushing out of the house so that little man and I could go to the doctor and my husband to work so it was nice for the kitchen to be clean but we didn't go on our trip!!

Blog Goals

• Post one post everyday (schedule 7 posts so that can spend more time with family)- I posted at least one or two things every day this week.  The end of the month always brings a lot of things that I have to get written.
• Review book reviews completed during the week (if done)- I posted all my reviews
• Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I worked on a few posts for the coming weeks but mostly was just cleaning up things for the end of the month and making sure that everything was scheduled while we would be out of town.
• Post Sunday Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, Kid Wednesday and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Posted
