Weekly Goals 1/19

It was a super busy week with my little man's five year birthday and all that entails.  I thought that I was going to get other things done but it just didn't happened.  It seemed that all of the things that I did took twice as long as they should and I was super exhausted getting over this horrible sinus/tooth infection.  I was hoping to go exercise at least once this week but I decided that I would be more stressed out if I didn't get the birthday things done so I passed so that I could get the house ready.  I was exhausted by the night before the party and my back told me that I needed a break by causing me a lot of pain.  Luckily, a good nights sleep helped and we had a great time visiting with all of our friends (minus some that were sick but we hope to see soon).  Hope that you had a good week!!!

And wishing a big Happy Birthday to my Mother in law today :)

This week:

Family Goals

• Spend time with family (and grandparents)- With everything going on this week, we got lots of time together and with friends.  It was a busy and happy week!
• Birthday party at school- He had a blast at school and was crazy all day but we went to the dollar store after school and he got a craft which he painted for a little bit in the afternoon after shopping for over an hour at the store.  Then, we did some other activities which he enjoyed but it didn't calm him much.
• Birthday party at home- We had a great time at the birthday party with lots of fun, friends and crafts.  Our neighbor set the record for the most crafts made, taking home at least 7 :)  I think that she would have stayed longer and done more crafts if her dad let her.

Personal Goals

• Cut coupons- I got some of my coupons over the weekend and finished them on Wednesday.  I was super glad to get everything cleaned up before company came.
• Get coupons on Friday- We went to Giant to look for papers and there weren't any so we took the chance to go to the library.  Funny thing was that there was someone delivering papers to the library right then.  My mom got ten and my dad got 6 and then my husband stopped and picked up a few more on the way home.
• Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I shut off my computer every night and most of the times that I left the house to save the computer and power.
• Go to Jazzercise (if not subbing at preschool)- I thought that I was going to make it once this week but between the party prep and the meds, I didn't make it.  Really hopeful for next week!
• Finish reading Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson- I finished reading this book and it was different then I expected but stay tuned for review.
• Start on next book in the pile from the library from Robyn Carr or Janet Evanovich- I picked up the Janet Evanovich book next and got to have some enjoyable reading to find out what happens in the second book.

Home Management Goals

• Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I was in the kitchen a lot this week getting ready for the party so I made a mess and cleaned it up more times then I can count.  My husband left and I made a bunch of things and spent a lot of time cleaning up dishes and he came home and looked at the destroyed kitchen and I said...hard to believe I cleaned up right?
• Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- We got the kitchen cleaned up twice early in the week and then it went downhill with all of the baking and cooking for the party so I got all of it cleaned out but not cleaned and put away.
• Make lots of food and decorate the house for the party- Tons of food and tons of decorations and got everything done (mostly) before people got here on Saturday morning for my son's birthday party.  He had a blast playing with all his friends and was sad to see them go but he needed a little quiet time (as did the rest of the family) so he got to open presents and have a good time putting together legos with Grandpa.

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)- Books read and reviews posted soon
• Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I didn't get much done for the coming week but I did get a rough outline of the things that I want to do so that is the best that I can do while being deep in birthday planning :)
• Post Sunday Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, Kid Wednesday and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Done
