Goals For The Week Of 8/20

Wow!  Goals!  Those are something I haven't had in while.  Like, all summer long!   Having my husband home a bit instead of working two jobs has been FABULOUS!  However, we've gotten a little bit too much into this laid back mindset, and it needs to STOP.  NOW!

His inservice started back up last Friday, and he has meeting all this week, and then school starts back up next Monday, and I'm going to have a First grader!

Most of my goals for this week just involve getting back into a routine, and figuring out a daily schedule.

My sleep goals are to go to bed by 10:30 (I have never gone to bed this early in my adult life, so this is going to be a challenge!  I'm such a night person.), and get up by 6, and NO NAPS!  I will also be slowly easing my daughter's wake up time back until she's getting up at school time - 6:30.   They've been sleeping until 8ish all summer and she was quite grumpy when I woke up up at 7:20 this morning.

I'm going to continue to keep up with my reading goal I set at the beginning of the year to read 30 books this year.  I'm actually 3 books ahead of schedule and have only 9 more to go.  I've done a lot of late night novel reading during this lazy summer.

I've started the Little House series reading aloud to my girls, so I will continue (hopefully finish) Little House In The Big Woods this week, and I've been reading the Junie B. Jones series with my oldest.  We're on # 19 (since the beginning of summer!) and it's due back to the library Saturday, so we've got to get finished with that.

I found some 5lb. bags of potatoes at the $0.99 store for $0.60, so I am going to mash them all with dinner tomorrow and freeze what we don't use.  I'm going to use some of the biscuits I got at Albertsons today to make some PB&J freezer pockets for the lunch box.  I hope to also get at least one freezer breakfast made.

My cleaning goals are to continue to keep up with the laundry and dishes, and to get the master bedroom and bathroom cleaned up this week.  I've had a steady stream of house guests the past few weeks, so my time was focused on the rest of the house and these two got neglected.

If I have time, I'd like to also get some seeds planted for a fall garden.


What will you be up to this week?
