Goal Planning Monday ~ Week 87


 Time to write some goals and strive to accomplish them this coming week??

Join us by clicking on the button above...
after you read my goals.

Goal Planning Monday has a new home - the banner above will take you to the new home for Goal Planning Monday @ Real Life Unscripted even though it says it is @ mamamanuscripts. I changed the link to send you to the new place.

Pretty good week though I am disappointed in myself. I wanted to be able to post Done on ALL my goals and I didn't. I also didn't read as much as I wanted to. But, it was a pretty good week. I did exercise and that was one of the things I didn't want to skip again, so that is good.

My Goals from last week and how I did:
Spiritual Goals  
  1. Devotions daily -  Reading I Timothy. Partly Done - I was doing so well and then yesterday I didn't do my devotions first thing in the morning and then never went back and did them later. I am very disappointed in myself for this, especially since it was Sunday and we did not go to church because we don't have the gas money to go. I was also going to download some of the messages from my pastor that we have missed and listen to one yesterday and I didn't do that either. http://zaazu.com
  2. Read The Resolution for Women and apply it to my life. The applying takes more time than the reading. Partly Done - all but yesterday.
  3. Listen to Godly Music Daily. Partly Done - all but yesterday.
  4. Pray daily. Done
  5. Read some of My Utmost for His Highest before bed at night. Done - hubby and I are making progress, we got to August and are doing 3 devotionals a night until we catch up.
Homeschool Goals
  1. Complete all of school. That means getting Christopher to do all 12 workboxes every day. The only way to do that is to make sure he brings his computer to my bedroom each evening so he has to do all his work and have me check it before he gets his laptop back. Done
  2. Log Christopher's work into the log DAILY. Partly Done- I never did log in Friday's work. I will get that done today along with today's work.
Blog Goals   
  1. Comment on the ladies blogs that link up to Goal Planning Monday. Done - I commented on our hostesses blog @ Real Life Unscripted, at  Kym @ Homeschool Coffee Break and at Through the Calm and Through the Storm
  2. Post reminders to my friends/blog readers about Think Back Thursday on Wed., on Facebook groups especially. Remind them of this week's theme and future themes as well so they can work ahead. Done
  3. Post Think Back Thursday. Done
  4. Comment on each person's post that links up for Think Back Thursday. Done
  5. Post letter C for Blogging Through the Alphabet and comment on some blogs that link up. Not Done - I want to post C and D today.
  6. Write a post that is NOT linked to a meme. Done - Posted about hubby and my Dinner In.
Personal/Other Goals
  1. Turn off the computer between 9 and 9:30. Get back to getting to bed earlier. Done
  2. Read. More. Done - I think I read more than last week but still not as much as I would have liked. If I don't get a move on I will not be getting 4 books done this month. I have only read 2 so far.
  3. Exercise at least 1 or 2 times. My lower back has been hurting me as well as my knees. I need to exercise. I need to loose weight but that is hard with our financial situation. Exercise, however is something I can and should still do. Done- I exercised 2 times. Once was Sat. and I was really sore on Sunday. I beat my high score on rhythm boxing advanced.
  4. Work on a craft of some kind... scrapbook, digital scrapbook, cross-stitch... Done
  5. Start working on Christmas gifts and ornaments (I make an ornament for each person in my immediate family each year for Christmas). Done
  6. Work on a brand new writing project. An idea for a picture book for children. Will be an e-book, at least to start. I will write it, hubby, hopefully, will illustrate it. Not Done http://zaazu.com
  7. Romantic dinner in our bedroom for hubby and I. Afterward we will watch a movie in our bedroom and/or play a game. I will need to clean up the "stuff" in front of the closet and then later set up the card table and decorate. I am looking forward to this. Hubby and I have not been able to afford to go out and do anything, so this is time for us to spend together and better than nothing. Done - and I wrote a post about it and posted photos.
For this week that is 14 Done, 4 Partly Done, and 2 Not Done
