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
Monday-P and I are hanging out at home during the day and will get ready for our family Christmas pictures. I rescheduled the family Christmas pictures for tonight and then we are going out to eat.
Kohl’s Black Friday deals go live online.
Tuesday-P and I are going to run some errands during the day. We have to run to the bank, the jewelers to get my wedding rings resized, and try to drop some stuff off at my cousins. After that we are going to go to the AT&T store to see if they can figure out why ads keep popping up on my phone. Not only when I am using it but when it is sitting on the table in sleep mode. Oh and I am going to try to fix the AT&T bill and see if they can correct the amount we pay. That will depend on if P can handle hanging out for that long in the store. P seems to have given up naps like that so if she can make it we are going to see Santa in the evening at Bass Pro Shops.
Wednesday-S has the day off from school. I have to make 2 pumpkin pies and a pumpkin roll for Thanksgiving. My sister wanted to go and see Coco. P really wants to go so she can see the new Frozen short video.
Target Black Friday deals go live online.
Thursday-Either B or I or all of us are going to run to Meijer for the Thanksgiving Day deals. I am going to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with the kids in the morning. We are going to my dad’s for Thanksgiving lunch. The Walmart Black Friday deals start at 6pm. If I can get the items I want online then I think we are going to skip going into the store.
Walmart Black Friday deals go live online in the morning.
Friday-B is going to get up early in the morning to go to Menard’s for the Black Friday deals. I am going to stay home with the kids. Otherwise we really don’t have any plans for the day.
Saturday-There is a build at Home Depot in the morning. B has some work to do for our friends at their house so we will be gone most of the day. In the evening, we are going to my sister’s to watch the lights parade in Maumee. B wanted to be in the parade this year with his barrel train but it didn’t work out so we are going to be watching from the sidelines.
Sunday-If we haven’t got the decorations done outside for Christmas we are going to make sure we get them done today.
Last Week Recap
Monday we ended up going to S’s Reconciliation in the evening. He was pretty nervous and excited at the same time. P got to spend some time with Grandma G while we were at church. Once they were done we could leave. Most families left right away, but not S he came back to the pew he made sure to say his penance before we left. That kid will follow rules to the T!
Tuesday I worked it out with S’s piano teacher and we were able to go skating in the evening. P was not loving it probably because she did not take a nap, so B stopped early and ran to the store with her while I stayed and skated with S. To be able to skate around and not move at a snail’s pace with P was amazing.
Wednesday I took P to my doctor’s appt with me. She was good and we were in and out in 20 minutes. The rest of the day we hung out at home because it was raining none stop. We started decorating the house with Christmas
Thursday P and I went to “The Art of Mess” at the Maumee Branch library. She had fun and it was a good way for her to paint and make a mess that I didn’t have to worry about it. Afterward we went to visit my sister and niece. P has been asking to see her little cousin and she got some one on one time with her.
Friday P went to my friend’s house in the morning so I could go and get a haircut. She had fun playing with all of her little friends. We put the tree up after S and B got home. P was so excited to just see the Christmas tree box I cannot even wait to see how she is when we see Santa and on Christmas morning.
Saturday we went to Haslinger’s Orchard to get more apples and cider. It was raining so there wasn’t anything to do outside so we hung out inside and played. P climbed out of her crib for the first time and ended up not taking a nap. It looks like this could be the end of the crib and naps! I am not ready yet to give up naps.
Sunday I had scheduled to get family Christmas pictures. When I went to get all the clothes out to see what needed ironing I couldn’t find P’s dress. I think we left it at JCPenney’s last week when B and I went shopping. That’s what I get for not taking the kids! It pretty much deflated me for the rest of the day so I didn’t feel like doing this post, hence why I am doing it late on Monday night. We called Penney’s and they didn’t have it. I wasn’t sure if they actually looked so B drove out to the mall to look for himself. I even had him check the racks in the children’s department to make sure it didn’t get put there. No luck and I ended up running to Target twice and did find another dress for P but it was not what I intended when I put all of our outfits together.
Last Week
Monday-We have S’s Reconciliation (Confession for those that didn’t know what Reconciliation was) in the evening. S is going to have to wear a button-up shirt, while I am making B wear a button-up too. Of course I am going to also dress up. I mean we are going to church. P is going to hang out with Grandma G and Grandpa Bob.
Tuesday-S does not have catechism because of last night. It works out well because S has a skating fundraiser party for PTO. Because initially he had catechism he was not going to be able to go, since they cancelled the class he had a chance. That was until I remembered he had piano lessons. Well I worked it out with the piano teacher and S is going to skip his lessons and just get a credit for December.
Wednesday-I have a doctor appt in the afternoon but other than that we are just going to be at home.
Thursday-I signed P up for a class, Totally Toddler-The Art of Mess at a local library. I have no idea what the class is about but hopefully she will have fun. Afterward we are going to swing by my sister’s. I have some clothes and shoes for my niece.
Friday-I am getting my haircut in the morning. The rest of the day we are just hanging out at home.
Saturday-As of now we do not have plans for today but I am sure that will change.
Sunday-I scheduled our family pictures for after naptime. I think if everything goes well we may go out to eat afterward as a treat for the kids
