Weekly Goals for October 8, 2014, and an Update on Last Week’s Goals

We’ve enjoyed a quieter week this week because we actually had a few days where we could be home all day!  However, that just meant that there was all the household work to catch up on.  I did get to make some Beet Pancakes and Chicken Apple Sausage, Kale and Rice soup in the freezer, so I have something to show for my busy days at home.  🙂

Here’s what I accomplished this week:

Last Week’s Goals

Financial

• Have a brief budget meeting (no more than 10 minutes) with my husband.

Personal

• Write 3 thank you notes.
• Find a physician for myself and DH.
• Get up by 5 a.m. every day this week.
• Have a mini freezer cooking session and blog about it.  (I moved this to this weekend since last weekend was too busy with freelance work.)
• Crochet one row a day on my daughter’s blanket.  I crocheted one row.  Still an embarrassing failure on this for the last three weeks, but I did get more done than I did on other weeks.  That counts, right?
• Take the kids to the library once this week.
• Do 5 days of homeschooling with Bookworm and the girls.  
• Read at least 3 books to the girls or a few chapters of our Little House on the Prairie book a day. 
• Do at least 15 minutes of ABCMouse.com with Cuddle Bug and 15 minutes of Starfall.com with PB & J Girl 4 days this week.  
• Read at least 50 pages in the book I’m currently reading (The Year of Learning Dangerously). 

Work

• Write a book review for my blog and schedule it in advance. 
• Write 2 other posts for my blog.
• Write 5 posts for those I work for.
• Decide on a regular publishing schedule for Mom’s Plans.  I’ve been thinking of the direction I’d like to go, but nothing is firm yet.

This Week’s Goals

Financial

• Have a brief budget meeting (no more than 10 minutes) with my husband.
• Rework the budget.  (I just got a semi-annual HOA bill, which I completely left out of the budget.  Oops!  It’s also clear that the grocery budget I set was too low, so I have to find more money for groceries.)
