Weekly Goals 3/16

I think that I might have tried to fit a little too much into the week and might need a week to recover...sadly, I didn't plan an easy week next week either.  I worked this week for three days and I don't know how people do this full time because there aren't enough hours in the day.  I certainly try to do as much as I can while I have time but I am tired and fighting off a cold now!  Here is what I got done this week and what I have posted for next week.

This week:

Family Goals
  • Spend time with family with grandparents- We had a fun week with the grandparents here and my son was in heaven with all the attention.  He made short work of wrapping them around his little finger and had them taking him wherever he wanted and playing games and reading books all the time.  He is going to go into detox next week with only me to entertain him :)
  • Playdate with friends and couponing class- We went to our friends house and while the kids were playing we went over couponing basics.  She has already gone to the store and gotten some deals so she is pretty excited.
  • Playdate with friends after school (another mom and I are switching days picking the kids up from school so we get one day with no kids for most of the day and then another where the kids entertain each other so it is the best of both worlds so this should be my free day)- Thankfully, my friend watched the two kids after school so I could get in my last kid free trip to the HT GM promo.
  • Visited my son's school and got to meet the principal 
Personal Goals
  • Get coupons on Friday or Saturday- I got all my papers in one stop and I was super happy!  Thank goodness for one thing going my way.
  • Cut coupons (three inserts)- I got all my coupons cut before my family came so that I could have them all put away so I was pretty excited with myself since there were three inserts and a busy week.  It is so good to get a jump on it over the weekend to start the week off right.
  • Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I had my computer off every night and then I shut it off every time I left the house for a long period of time so I saved tons of energy and the computer was actually working well when I turned it on.
  • Set up and fund Roth IRA and meet with financial advisor- So glad that I got this done and crossed off the list.
  • Jazzercise (one day-hopefully Tuesday before company comes)- Worked instead :( No Jazzercise!
  • Subbing at school one day- I worked three days this week instead which put a kink in the plan of getting things done.  It was super busy with trying to get rid of
  • Post additional coupons for sale to ebay until I reach my limit
  • Meet with son's school- We had a meeting with my son's future principal to get a tour of the school.  It was nice to set my mind at ease about the education and process that they use at the school so I am crossing my fingers and hoping to learn more through the process.
  • Meet with financial advisor- We had a long meeting with my financial person and I transferred over my 401K from my last job so that everything is all in the same paperwork.  I also opened up a Roth IRA.  I don't know if I feel better about things but at least I got two things checked off my list.
  • Read next review book- I started the book and started reading but I didn't get it finished.  It is a great book and hope to have the review up next week.
  • Read next movie book- I didn't get to start on this book and it is due at the library soon so I better have more free time to read quickly.  Don't know if I am going to start it or just return it and reserve it again to try again when I don't fit too much in.
Home Management Goals
  • Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I did so much cleaning this week and the kitchen fought back but I got it mostly clean until my parents got here and that always gets out of control quickly with 5 of us in the house.
  • Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- I went into the kitchen and did the dishes one night while watching TV and then I did them another night but left one pan soaking until morning.  I even ran and emptied the dishwasher one night so that I didn't have to wait until morning to clean up what was left.  I did a great job even though there were still way too many dishes.
Blog Goals
  • Post one post everyday (schedule 7 posts so that can spend more time with family) - I got up 6 days and didn't post the Saturday post until way later in the day but still got lots of family time and wish that I did get it done earlier in the week.
  • Review book reviews completed during the week (if done)- Reviews were posted this week but I didn't finish any books this week so there are no new reviews outstanding.
  • Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week - HAHA!!  I got nothing done for the week.
  • Participate in blog hops to share posts with others- I read a bunch of blogs and I am going to do my link ups on Sunday while my parents are away so that I can work in peace but I have done some linkups already this week.
  • Post Sunday Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, Kid Wednesday and Thrifty Thursday Tip - All scheduled and posted for the week.
