Weekly Goals 12/8

UGH!  That was a long week and I feel like I didn't get anything done.  I was forever trying to put out a fire with something else that was more important to do.  I think that I got most of what I needed to do last week done but I might have to write a better list this week for what I need to do each day so that I can keep up.  I have to work on some more lesson plans for my son and work on some pictures for his whale of the week project.  He is super excited to be the person that the class talks about all week but don't have a clue what pictures he wants to bring into school, or what book he wants to share or what special thing he is going to show at the end of the week.  Honored but not really into the details :)  Isn't that mom's job??

Hope you have a good week planned and enjoy the down time because the holidays are coming quickly!

Last week:

Family Goals

• Spend time with family (and extended family on just Sunday)- We had lots of family dinners and after family book reading which made for a fun week.
• Get to preschool on time every day- Did great making it on time but my son did forget his bag on Friday so I am not sure if that is partial credit or what.
• Music program at the library- We had a blast at the music program and enjoyed singing, dancing and my son's personal favorite- playing instruments.
• School field trip- I got to chaperone the school field trip and enjoy the neat Holiday show at a local high school.  My son had a blast!
• Puppet Show at the library- I signed my son up for a puppet show at the library and my husband took him while I stayed home to make the cookies for the cookie exchange.
• Birthday party- I took my son to a birthday party that I didn't know about until the last minute but I am super glad that he got to go because he had a blast.

Personal Goals

• Cut coupons- HaHa!!!!  I didn't even get to doing anything but putting them in a pile.  I hope that I can cut some on Sunday but if not, I will try for Wednesday.  I am crossing my fingers that I can do all three inserts from this week and last.
• Get last weeks coupons- After a long hunt, I found plenty more coupons then I needed and got some for my new couponing friend :)
• Get coupons on Friday - My husband got a bunch for me Friday night and got the rest on Saturday when he took my son to the library program.
• Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I turned it off 6 nights and one night I left it on because I was having printing problems so I wanted to let it go while I was sleeping.
• Wrap the rest of the Christmas gifts and get them under the tree- I got everything that I had wrapped and under the tree.  I pulled out the gifts that were supposed to go with me to the cookie exchange but that was postponed until later in the month.  I guess I didn't need to rush but it helped me get in a few returns with the stuff that we didn't need.
• Last minute sub at school- I enjoy working with the kids but it put a little stop to some of my plans but I was asked back for next week so I guess that is a good thing.  It is hard to get time without my little guy so I am hoping that I get lots done this weekend to get ready for the coming week.
• Get back to Jazzercise- It only took all week to find time but I went on Saturday and I am really glad that I dragged myself there instead of staying in bed :)
• Call the doctor to follow up on appointment- Finally did it and talked to the doctor.  He called in a prescription and we are going to see how that goes but still nothing definite and I might need to go back soon.
• Finish reading the new Nicholas Sparks book from the library- Read, reviewed and returned.
• Start reading the next book in the pile from the library- I read another Beverly Lewis books which was a disappointment and picked up the next because it was bedtime but I need to read the new Kathy Reichs books that I just got off reserve next!!!

Home Management Goals

• Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- Did everything to keep the kitchen clean right up until Saturday and I didn't get it cleaned at all but it was a really busy day so I guess I will have all day Sunday while I am home to get it spic and span during our winter storm.
• Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- To be honest, I don't have a clue.  I know that I cleaned the kitchen from top to bottom when my parents left and the dishes were all done on Sunday night so that we could start Monday off on the right foot.  I think that the dishes all got cleaned another night that I loaded up the dish washer and ran it so that everything would be nice and clean in the morning but I really don't remember which night.

Blog Goals

• Post one post everyday (schedule 7 posts so that can spend more time with family)- Lots and lots of posts were scheduled and I didn't have to worry about things because almost the whole week was well planned.
• Review book reviews completed during the week (if done)- Done
• Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I got a bunch of things that were in drafts completed this week but I need to go back and make sure that I have everything that I need for next week but it is going to have to wait until Sunday because I am heading to bed early.
• Post Sunday Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, Kid Wednesday and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Done
