Weekly Goals for April 10, 2014, and an Update on Last Week’s Goals

I’m finally making some money from our decluttering, which is always a good thing.  However, now that we’re FINALLY getting some spring weather, I just want to be outside all.the.time!  Plus, it was my birthday this weekend, so I played hooky to hang with my family.  🙂

Financial

• List the kids’ outgrown spring/summer clothes on eBay and Mom Mail.  About half of the items have sold so far.  I’ve made $37.  Yeah!
• List the homeschooling material we aren’t going to use on Facebook and eBay.  I have it all in a pile, but I haven’t listed it yet.
• Pack up two tubs of “stuff” to be sold at an upcoming garage sale.  I packed up one tub.

Personal

• Exercise for at least 20 minutes 3 days this week.  Not accomplished.
• Pray a decade of the rosary every day with the kids.
• Get rid of 3 bags of “stuff” we no longer use.  Not accomplished.
• Follow my Candida diet.  I’m doing great with this except I have a weakness for carob powder mixed with melted coconut oil.  Must stop eating a little of this every day!
• Study Japanese with the kids at least four times this week.  Bookworm was sick for 3 days this week, so this didn’t happen.
• Read at least 3 books to the girls a day.
• Do at least 15 minutes of ABCMouse.com with each girl 2 to 3 days this week.  
• Read for 30 minutes every day.  Every night, my husband and I collapse around 10 p.m. and watch several episodes of a tv show on Netflix.  This is turning into a bad habit because we’re not getting enough sleep, and I’m not getting my reading time in.

Work

• Put up 2 reviews and/or giveaways this week.
• Write 2 staff writing and freelance articles this week.  
• Have at least 5 of my own blog posts written and scheduled for next week.  I had three written ahead of time this week.

• Return one homeschooling item I got for PB & J Girl that I’ve decided not to use.

Personal

• Exercise for at least 20 minutes 3 days this week.  (Maybe my plan for exercising every day was too ambitious, so I’ll try to reduce the amount so I can accomplish the goal this week.)
