Weekly Goals 3/23

So tired and got so little work done on my blog last week between my parents being in town and my three days at work.  I barely got up a post on Friday and it wasn't what I was planning.  I didn't have much to talk about on Saturday because there were so many other things to do so blogging has taken a little bit of a back seat to all of my other stuff and I am sorry.  I hope that you aren't disappointed to not find the number of posts I normally do in a week but I am trying.  How did your week go??

Last week:

Family Goals
  • Spend time with family with grandparents before they leave- My son had a blast with his grandparents here because they would buy him anything that he wanted and play anything he wanted.  He had them on the floor doing puzzles and reading more books then I could count.
  • Birthday party for my son's classmate- He had a great time at the gymnastics party and came home saying that he wanted that kind of party when it was his birthday party which he did after the bowling party and every other party he has been too.  I think that he just likes parties!
  • Playdate with son's friend from school- I dropped my son off at his friends house after school and they got to play for a few hours and he had a blast and I got to clean up the house a little while he was there.
  • 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 her free day)- I took her daughter for a few hours while she went to the doctor and then she took my son for a few hours the next day and I took a nap!  Yup, I did barely anything productive with my time but put the dough in the bread maker to make rolls.
Personal Goals
  • Get coupons on Friday or Saturday- It took a lot of remembering but I grabbed what they had at the library and we stopped at Giant to get the rest that we needed.  I got all of them and even recycled the papers that we didn't need so it was super successful.
  • Cut coupons (two inserts)- I had my parents help me separate papers and I got all my coupons cut.  It was entertaining to see them sort because they were flipping their hands over each other trying to figure out where to put things....there was luckily only one mistake which I caught before cutting the coupon in half.  It was nice to have help on sorting them.
  • Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I shut off the computer every night and every time I left the house so it was off a lot of the time.
  • Subbing at school three days- I worked three days this week and got in a little bit of routine which does make things easier but it still doesn't leave a lot of free time without my little helper.
  • Post additional coupons for sale to ebay- I didn't post anything this week because my parents were in town and I didn't want to be running back and forth to the post office every day with them in town and then I was working.  I was a little sad to not get things up but I hope to work on it this weekend.
  • Finish review book- I had to go back and look to see which book I was talking but but I did finish it and posted review.
  • Read next movie book- I got the next movie book out of the library and it was huge which should have motivated me to start on it right away but it motivated me to start on another book instead because I couldn't carry that one back and forth to work all week because my bag is always so packed.
Home Management Goals
  • Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I cleaned the kitchen all week and kept the kitchen as clean as possible with all of the traffic in it with extra guests.
  • Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- My husband fell asleep on the couch so I decided to go and clean the dishes on Thursday night watching some of the TV show in the kitchen at the same time.  I got all the dishes cleaned and baked my rolls in the oven at the same time.  I was super excited to have an easy morning because I also got all of the lunches mostly ready and then just had to get the refrigerated stuff in the morning.
Blog Goals
  • Post one post everyday (schedule 7 posts so that can spend more time with family) - I got most of my posts up before time but didn't have them all done ahead so it was a little hard to try to finish some in the middle of doing a million other things.
  • Review book reviews completed during the week (if done)- I don't know if I got any books finished this week so I had to check my posts to see what the last book I reviewed was before I realized that I did finish and review my book for Blogging for Books.  It was good but I guess it seems like ages away.
  • Work on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week - I got my Monday and Wednesday post done by Friday night so I was making bring progress but I had nothing else done so it was my mission to get them worked on Saturday.
  • Participate in blog hops to share posts with others- I honestly don't have a clue what I have linked up to this week but I don't think that it was much early in the week so that leaves going back and figuring it out.
  • Post Sunday Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, Kid Wednesday and Thrifty Thursday Tip- I got them all posted on time with a little extra work at the last minute that I am not usually doing.
