Manic Mondays are when I let you know what plans I have for the week. Some weeks I may be very busy where other weeks there may not be any plans. Since I now have two little ones to take care of I am going to post weekly goals for myself to try to hold myself accountable. I have also decided to do a quick recap of what we actually did versus what I thought we were going to do.
This Week
My Weekly Goals
Monday-I plan on running to Target at some point today. I do not think the Christmas clearance will go 90% but just in case. S has his six year check-up today, so B is going to take P over to our neighbors when he leaves for work until I get done with the doctor appointment. It is so nice to have neighbors that we can do that. I am watching her son for a few hours this week while she has a meeting. She is the only one who P does not cry for; she really loves her “may.” We hung out for a while so S could play with Baby A (although he is not a baby anymore).
Tuesday-I am heading out to Target first thing in the morning with P. If Christmas clearance went 90% then I will drop P off after the first Target and go to the other Targets before I go back to Target with my sister to do her baby registry. S is going back to school today which I so desperately need as much as he does. I told him he is going to be doing so many summer camps. He told me he doesn’t want to do any summer camps and just wants to stay home with me. We will have to see about that.
Wednesday-B is off, so if Target didn’t go yesterday I will go to Target by myself. Yippee! I also need to run to Kohl’s to return a few things I bought before Christmas. Other than that we have no other plans.
Thursday-Baby A is coming over for a while and S has school.
Friday-We have no plans today so I am guessing we will just hang out at home.
Saturday-S got invited to a birthday party at Sky Zone and is beyond excited about going to the indoor trampoline park. He is so excited to see a few of his friends from preschool.
Sunday-We have no plans, so we are just hanging out at home.
Last Week Recap
We did get all of the Christmas decorations put away except for the Christmas lights outside which I am hoping we can do this week. We did not get any snowman decorations out and I don’t really know if I want to. I kind of like having a little less clutter. The Christmas gifts are still everywhere.
Believe it or not Monday we went skating at a local skating rink. S has never been skating other than a few times in our driveway. We had his first and second birthday party at a skating rink, but we just pushed him around in a stroller, stroller trike, and he rode his ATV. We had no intentions of letting P roller skate, but she wanted to come with us and she loved it! Once she got out on the floor we could not get her off of it. When she had to get off the floor because they were playing a game she had a full on meltdown. She was so happy when she could get back on the floor. We took turns holding her hands but she moved those skates all on her own. I did let her go on her own a few times and she held her own. They don’t let you take pictures but I managed to get a few on the down low.
Tuesday we ran to Target hoping it went 70%. Nope. We went to the Lights Before Christmas at the zoo after Christmas. It was much chiller than we anticipated, but the kids were bundled up and had a great time looking at all the lights.
Wednesday we ran to Target hoping it went 70%. Nope. I don’t have any pictures so I am guessing we just hung out at home.
Thursday we ran to Target hoping it went 70%. Nope. We went to B’s cousins for dinner and hung out for a few hours. S got to play with his best friend L. When we got home I literally fell asleep on the couch before 11pm.
Friday I skipped Target, it was too frustrating and everyone online said it didn’t go.
Saturday I didn’t go to Target and it went 70% off. Someone messaged me to tell me so I made a quick run to Target. I got a bunch of great stuff. I went home and rounded up the kiddos and we hit two more Targets.
Sunday I convinced B to run to the last Target and found some more great finds. We got a ton of Christmas lights.
Last Week
My Weekly Goals-I would like to get all the Christmas decorations down and possibly the snowman decorations out.
Monday-My sister invited us to go roller skating so we are doing that in the afternoon. I love roller skating and am so excited.
Tuesday-Today is going to be the warmest day of the week, high 46°, so we are going to do the lights at the zoo. S loves going, and P was just a baby last year. She loves Christmas lights so I am sure she will be excited. It should be interesting because I will take her in the hiking backpack. Our zoo is not stroller friendly and never has been. The only way for her to really see the lights is if we carry her. B has a bad back so it is up to me to carry her.
Wednesday-If Target Christmas clearance did not go 70% yesterday it definitely will go today. Otherwise we have no plans other than hanging out at home.
Thursday-Today is New Year’s Eve. We have never done anything to celebrate New Year’s Eve so as of now we will just be home. The kids are in bed at 8pm anyways.
Friday-New Year’s Day. No plans, just hanging out at home.
Saturday-Home Depot has a kid’s workshop in the morning. If I can convince S to go we will and then make a quick stop at Target to check out the holiday clearance.
Sunday-I just plan on hanging out at home unless Target Christmas clearance goes 90%.
