Make it Happen Monday {goals update}

Last week I mentioned that I have been going through this whole live intentionally thing.  Making an effort and living with a purpose.  I also mentioned that I am an over-achiever and I might set some pretty out there goals for myself.  

These are the goals I set last week and how I did.
Wife:
7 days of post its - specific things that I love about Keith {Only got 3}
After Bed Date Friday - Olympic theme, little games, and snacks.  Post coming soon
Make his lunch twice this week. {His office provided lunch 3 times this week and we met up for lunch on Friday, so I ran out of days}
Make sure he has paired socks to get him through the week.  {this really does make or break his day} 
Homemaker:
Follow my cleaning schedule. {The stuff got done but not according to the schedule}
Eat dinner at home Monday through Friday. {Missed Friday}
Create Meal Plan for August  
Mommy:
Begin our reward chart. {yeah, forgot this one was even on here}
Be strong on keeping consequences {DVD's were taken away this week} YEAH!
Play more between 9 and 11. 
Personal:
No more than 36 ounces of pop this week.
3 nights elliptical, 2 nights walking (minimum 2 miles) - weights and abs each night at gym {This didn't happen this way.  One night bike, One night elliptical ... did I seriously only make it to the gym twice last week?!? Not acceptable.}
Reading Plan {outside of review books} {oops}
Lotion daily and self pedi {half}
Faith:
Turn off TV after Doc and journal 15 minutes. {only made it one day with this one.}
Pray throughout the day - out loud.  When someone crosses my mind or a worry, or I feel the nudge - speak it!
Listen to 1 book from the bible on Bible Gateway this week. {oops}
Blogger:
Intentionally work my marketing and content plan. {the In-House stuff was really busy this week and I this didn't happen}
Writer:
Finish the how to's of the upcoming eBook. {see previous goal}
Friend:
Thank you notes to the friends that attended Hope Springs Party. {Darn it!}
Email 3 friends I have not talked to in over 3 weeks.
Schedule parties for the rest of the year.  Once a month get together. {December needs some adjusting for the events, meaning I need to talk to some others for final dates.}
Schedule August playdates. {oops}
Family:
Newsletter about upcoming events {birthdays, gift ideas, sizes}
Plan and schedule big events for the rest of the year.
Plan a fun family day with a free event for us four. {Third Sunday Funday 19th, It's a Zoo at the Taft}
House/Finances:
Reset our budget to reach our goals and get it in writing. {moving to this week}
Grocery Plan and Budget. {half}
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!

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!

    Just 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
