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
Weekly Goals- Get everything ready for S and his birthday…..wrap his presents, make his cake and decorate, and make cookies for him to take to school on Friday.
Monday-S has school. Its Polar Express day and S gets to wear pajamas to school. He asked if he can get dressed when he gets home from school because he doesn’t want to wear jammies all day. Derby has a follow-up doctor appointment, and I have a hair appointment at 3pm.
Tuesday-S has his bi-annual dentist appointment. I am trying to make him like me and love going to the dentist. I think we are going to work on baking his cookies for his birthday treat at school. He hasn’t decided between taking donuts or me making cut-out sugar cookies that look like train engines.
Wednesday-S has school in the morning and then we are heading out to Kalahari for S’s birthday. We gave him the option of having a birthday dinner or breakfast at Kalahari and he wanted a birthday breakfast.
Thursday-S is 5 years old today. We are going to be hanging out at Kalahari in the morning, possibly trying to squeeze in Build-A-Bear, and going to a ceremony to honor the sheriff who saved my dad’s life. We again gave S the option of having his get together birthday party tonight or going to the ceremony. He chose going to the ceremony and asking if we could have the get together the next day.
Friday-S has school and this is his day to celebrate his birthday, so he is taking a treat for all the kids and a book for the classroom (Santa is Coming to Ohio). S is having his birthday celebration tonight. B wants to give all the kids rides on his barrel train and then we are going to have pizza and cake.
Saturday-S has a build at Lowe’s to make a train. If he doesn’t go to this build, we will officially be done with builds for a while. He has not wanted to go to the past three and says he is done with builds. I think it may be he doesn’t want mama to take him anymore and only wants to go with dada. The rest of the day is open right now.
Sunday-So far there are no plans, but with it being so close to Christmas I am sure it will change.
Last Week Recap
I did not even touch the computer room last week and did not manage to get any posts done that I wanted. Epic fail as far as completing my weekly goals. Last week was definitely a weird one.
Monday S had school and the elf made his yearly debut at our house. He usually doesn’t arrive until a little later in the month, but this year someone else was in charge of him so he came early.
Tuesday we just hung out at home.
Wednesday S had school and then we hung out at home. For dinner we took S to Spaghetti Warehouse, which he loved. After we drove around looking at Christmas lights.
Thursday we hung out at home, went to Costco to pick up our Christmas cards and yes I finally got them out, and then out to dinner at Red Robin. It is so not us to eat out, let alone two nights in a row, but we did. I always want to go to Red Robin’s and then when we leave there I wonder why. If only I could buy their barbeque sauce for home I would never go again. (I’ve asked they don’t sell it.)
Friday S had school and for the first time and hopefully last, I overslept and he was late for school. It is only preschool so it’s not the end of the world, but it totally sucks. The rest of the day we hung out at home and played.
Saturday and Sunday we did absolutely nothing. B had to work so we stayed home all weekend. The only time we left was to drive around and look at Christmas lights on Saturday night. We got both kids ready for bed and then took them in their jammies. P of course slept, but S loves to look at the lights.
Last Week
My Weekly Goals-This week I want to work on the computer room to get it semi-organized. I am also hoping to work on a couple of posts.
Monday-S has school, other than that we are just going to be hanging out at home.
Tuesday-As of right now, we don’t have any plans.
Wednesday-S has school in the morning. B is off so maybe we can get some stuff done around the house.
Thursday-Our Christmas pictures come back today so I am hoping to get all the holiday cards addressed and sent out in the mail.
Friday-S has school in the morning and then I think we are just going to be hanging out at home.
Saturday-Home Depot has a build in the morning to make holiday yard stakes. S hasn’t wanted to go to the past two builds so I am not sure if I can talk him in to going. He told me he is done doing builds. The funny thing is you’re supposed to be five before you even start and S won’t be five till later this month.
