House/Finances:I have found that I need to have these in a more visible place. I wrote it into my planner write near my content plan for the week. I knew it was in there, but I don't remember even looking at the second page of it at all this week. Yeah, where all that opps stuff starts!
Reset our budget to reach our goals and get it in writing. {moving to this week}Grocery Planand Budget. {half}
I think I also need my to-do list like (more visible) because I really don't think I marked off anything last week.
Seeing that I made a change in my planning day I didn't get to much planning yesterday. To make my life easier (or so I thought and I am going to keep at it so it get better and faster at it) I am preparing thing for the week, chopping and baking and what nots. Then I just have to throw things together on the day we are cooking it.
This means that I am going to need to take some time to do the planning today. I will post this week's goals later today.
Lunch time!

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know you are an awesome mommy and wife. When I read your blog last week and saw how you accomplished them I would give you and A+. Yeah some of them did not happen like the lunch but you did what all mommies did and became flexible. Yes exhaustion is what being a mom is all about but you go through it because you love them.
This past saturday we had a campout in the backyard at the sitters, Meredith was inside sleeping Eden was in the tent with the others. She forgot her pillow. I gave her mine. I was exhausted but it is being the best wife and mom.
They love you without a doubt and so does Keith! Just remember you can always sleep when you retire LOL.
AWESOME JOB!!!!
P.S. The walks and cheap dates are always the best at least to me
