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-There is currently a code (1FREEBOOK) for a free 8×8 photo book at Shutterfly that expires Monday and I have one from Mom365 that expires on the 26th. I am hoping to get two books done this week. I am currently behind on S’s books (I make one for every four months so 3 a year), and haven’t even started any for P yet.
Monday-S has school and we are hanging out at home the rest of the day. B has a meeting at the union hall about the strike negotiations. I am hoping it will be good news that this will be over.
Tuesday-We may go to the zoo with L and B’s aunt, otherwise we are just hanging out at home all day. B is running to the union hall to pick up the strike relief fund check.
Wednesday-S has school in the morning and then we are hanging out at home.
Thursday-We are going to the Jason Aldean concert tonight and I cannot wait. S and P are going to B’s aunts. S is excited because he gets to play with L. I am hoping since P has been around B’s aunt so much lately that she will be a happy camper for her.
Friday-S has school, and then we are hanging out at home, and maybe have dinner at the union hall depending on what they are serving.
Saturday-We have a birthday party to go to, and I know there will be some egg hunts around that we will try to go to.
Sunday-We are having Easter at my mom’s today. I can only imagine how much fun S is going to have. He is going to get to see F today and he has been counting down the days.
Last Week Recap
As far as my goals for last week, I didn’t get any more listed, but I did sell a few things. S did get to play outside almost every day for at least an hour.
Monday it was supposed to be super nice out and it never quite got there. S went to school and when we got home we went outside anyways and played. L (S’s cousin) came over to play and S was only too happy to have someone other than S or me to play with. P walked around on the driveway in her walker and loved it. Before we went in for P’s second nap, I put her in S’s truck with him and they both loved it. She was only too happy to be the passenger and S loved having someone to drive around with. After P’s nap we went back out and they drove around more in the truck together.
Tuesday it was a bit chilly so we hung out inside most of the day. We did venture outside for a little while and ended up going for a walk around the block.
Wednesday S had school and then it was just hanging out at home. S lost his first tooth before he got a shower. He was wiggling it in the mirror and the next thing you know it was in his hand and he was crying from shock.
Thursday we got spring pictures done at JCPenney. B was home building displays so S got to hang out with him and play outside. S had a snaggle tooth all day and it was just waiting to fall out. After his shower I got him to play with it in P’s room when I was getting her ready for bed and what do you know, it again fell right out into his hand.
Friday S had school and it was another day of hanging out at home. We did end up going outside before dinner to play for about an hour and take a walk around the block.
Saturday we went to my aunt and uncle’s for their auction. They are moving closer, and downsizing so they didn’t need a ton of stuff. I did manage to get a baby swing for S that was from my cousin when she was a baby. That means that swing is over 40 years old. It is in such good condition and still has the company sticker on the back of the swing. P was a trooper and sat in the backpack on me for over two hours. She finally fell asleep and when I took the backpack off she stayed in it and kept right on sleeping.
Sunday we hung out at home all day. Grandma came over to visit for a while. It was pretty quiet day because B was gone all day/night working.
Last Week
My Weekly Goals: I want to let S play outside as much as possible, and I would like to get some more clothes posted.
Monday-S has school and then it is supposed to be 65° so we will be spending the whole day outside. I am even going to try to give P her nap outside so S can play out there longer.
Tuesday-We are just hanging out at home.
Wednesday-S has school in the morning, we have a meeting at the union hall for our next Strike Relief fund check, and then I really want to get there Easter/Spring pictures done.
Thursday-Another day of hanging out at home.
Friday-S has school in the morning and then hanging out at home.
Saturday-We are going to my aunt and uncles for their auction. I’m not sure if it is for moral support or because B wants to buy some stuff. I’m going for moral support.
Sunday-We are just going to be hanging out at home again.
