Goal setting night

As opposed to my goal setting days, I am starting my evening of with a list of goals.

- one load of dishes, maybe two? yeah, I only did one load
- kids bathed, and bedtime routine done
- e-mail check and send did on Thursday
- avoid girlie movies thanks to Ang coming over, chick flicks were avoided. yes!
- at least 3 loads of laundry Done, time to do a happy dance
- work and make my computer printable semi-complete, computer still not printable

Bonus for the night was pulling out the bread maker and setting the timer on it so we would have fresh bread for breakfast. Mmm delicious. Best idea I have had in a while.

for one night I think this can be done.

productive morning

Today is I think the most productive day I have had in a while. I have put away two loads of laundry and washed two more loads of laundry after that. I also managed to clean the whole bathroom and wash dishes. This is a fabulous thing for me because it is not even 10:30 am yet!

Next on my list: two more loads of laundry (including putting them away) and clean the living room. I have learnt cleaning the living room/ dining room is one of the longest chores to do. However, I am tired of toys taking over my living room and random stuff left on half of my table. I also have to get the 9 boxes of stuff out of my living/dining room. Fortunately I will have Chad help me out with this. Oh to have my living/dining room back!

procrastinating

Because of all the things I still need to do tonight, I have decided to help myself feel better by listing all the things I have already acomplished this weekend.
- cleaned front closet (this is a task I have been needing to do for over a year now)
- washed dishes
- gave my girls baths. (I think this counts even though they have one every two days)
- arranged to have the van fixed.
- made cookies. (Ok, confession, they were the pilsbury valentine cookies, but I had to put them in the oven none the less)
- went to church. (given the weather for this weekend, this is a huge acomplishment in it self, especially when we went using someone else's car)
- watched too much TV.

I still need to do paper work for my job and I was thinking about making a cake for a friend at Mom 2 Mom. I can do it!

Getting ready

I am slowly getting mobile today. Yesterday, my body was not functioning so well, I spent most of my day sleeping. Today, I am doing a lot better, but am slowly getting in the swing of things.

I am going to attempt at having another goal day to see how much I can get done.
Update: 12:53pm
Laundry- just do as many loads as I can load 3 in washing machine...yes!

make a list for packing to go to the cabin 1/2 done, it's a working progress as I come accross things I forgot

tidy up the living room ....but... we're still using it... :o)

have a shower (this is a reasonable goal, I think) Does a water fight in the back yard with your daughters count?

play with kids outside, this morning (who said some of the goals couldn't be fun) See previous update, I could not procrastinate at all about this goal. A chance to play with my girls, YES!

start packing for the lake I have a suit case started, just don't ask how much is in there.

Dishes if feeling ambitious yeah, right.

vacuum this will have to be later, the carpet (and couch) is a little wet right now.

I will check in later to update my progress.

Goal Day

I am having a goal oriented day! (or at least attempting to!)

Goals are:

=> DISHES!!!

=> Laundry *including folding and putting away!!

=> sort clothes for clothing give away and sort kitchen "stuff" for garage sale

This does not sound like a lot, however, it is enough for me to take in a small chunk rather than feel too ambitious in the beginning only to realize at the end of the day I only half completed my list. This way it is attainable for me and I can add to it later. (The chances of me adding to my list later are fairly small given my lazy mood I am trying to over concur!)

I see the rainbow!


This afternoon I am feeling much better, I still have my wrist in a splint, but that is my only obsticale I am faced with today, YEAH!
And on the note of feeling better, I am going to clean as best as I know how.
Goal for this afternoon:
Make lunch - soup and toast with fruit for dessert
Laundry - at this point anything more than one load a day would be an ackomplishment
Dishes- (this one will hurt, but it is really needed right now)
Reading and enjoy a cup of tea - didn't expect this one did you, I am realizing I will need a break before I wear out.
Bathroom - I can't wait to try this one as I just bought the Mr clean bathroom cleaning kit
Call some people re: Pampered Chef
Then get ready to enjoy my Friday night.
