Last week:
Family Goals
Spend time with family- We got a lot of time together this weekend. The boys joined me on a trip to the store and then ended up dropping me off and playing at the playground behind the store while I got the groceries. We played outside with the neighbors and enjoyed the first day with good weather in awhile.Go to the library to pick up some new books- We went to the library on Friday and got a bunch of books on the planets because my son visited the planetarium and had a blast. He wanted to learn more so we found lots of books and are on the search for a few more soon.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)- We actually went over to our friends house one day and then I got both kids the next day because we have had so much snow and the kids are going a little stir crazy being stuck inside. I think that the playdate did them both good but they were a little wild so here is hoping that the next snow storm doesn't keep up locked in the house again.Playdate with friends over at the house- My son feel asleep 15 minutes before they got there and it took a little bit to wake him up but he was so excited to see his friend that he jumped off the couch and was ready to play.Mom's Day at school so I get to spent the day with my son- My son has been so excited about this and it isn't like I am not in his school pretty much every week and for the last two days but we met all the other mom's (and some grandmas) in the class and talk to the teachers. I set up a few playdates at the same time because my son is begging me to set up another one soon with some friends that we haven't played with yet and some that we already have.
Get coupons on Friday or Saturday- With two stops, I got my papers and headed home to sort them all out. I even got one sorted and almost cut before getting into making dinner but I hope to have them cut on Sunday or early in the week next week.Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I shut off the computer at night and when I was leaving to work for the morning so that it was off and got lots of rest. It is doing really well but don't let it know that my husband is working on it's replacement with one with a newer operating system so that I don't have so many problems printing coupons.- Jazzercise (one day)- HA! Snow day followed by late arrival and then short day and two days of work so no Jazzercise. I would have gone on Saturday but then I had Mom's day at my son's school. Oh well, next week!!
Subbing at school- I was supposed to work one day and I got called in another so it was a long week with two days that I didn't get free at the end and snow days at the beginning.Post additional coupons for sale to ebay until I reach my limit- I posted a bunch of coupons over the last few days and I have done really well this month getting pretty good money for my coupons. I think that I must be getting better and picking and posting because my sales are getting better. I hope that it is only a sign that it will improve and hopefully I will figure out a process to take a little less time because it is time consuming to get pictures and post everything. I am not at my limit but that was done on purpose so I left a few spots in case some really good coupons come up.Finish menu plan for March- I filled a lot of it in with the different meals that we already have in the house and had six spaces left and stopped. I was so excited about how much progress that I made that I forgot to pick it up and finish it. Filled in the rest on Saturday night!!Read Balanced and post review (electronic preview through publisher)- Read and review posted.Read one of my Books to be movies soon- I am reading one of my movie books and it wasn't my favorite book because of the subject matter and the fact that it was set in England (sometimes I can get used to the weird words but this book seems to stick out for me and I can't get over the way the characters are talking).
Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- I cleaned the kitchen every day and didn't seem to make it a really big mess except when I made the red hot popcorn (recipe coming soon).Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- This week seems a little like a blur but I feel like every time I turned around I was running the dishwasher and doing dishes. one night my husband fell asleep on the couch and I went into the kitchen and did the dishes and put them all away while I was watching the last TV show so whatever night that was the kitchen was clean (minus the bread pan which I took out of the bread machine after cleaning all the dishes). This is why I never get ahead because there are still dishes waiting for me the next morning.
Post one post everyday (schedule 7 posts so that can spend more time with family)- Luckily I got a lot done ahead and had everything posted because I was working some of the time that I was supposed to be working on my blog but I was covered with all of the work that I already put in but that leaves a busy weekend to get ready for next week.Review book reviews completed during the week (if done)- DoneWork on a few posts to work ahead for the coming week- I was totally out of posts so I worked on them on Saturday afternoon and evening. I had a few other posts that I am going to work on Sunday to try to get the week planned out. With those posts, I should be good for the week and I have to get a lot going for next week because my parents will be here and they are not great about giving me time to work.Participate in blog hops to share posts with others- I posted a few recipes and my kids stuff to a few different blogs and I hope to go through and see what I missed but I often get so busy that I look at other people's ideas and get so caught up that I forget to post my posts too.Post Sunday Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, Kid Wednesday and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Done
