Weekly Goals and Checkup April 30 - May 7

Setting written goals was a great motivator for me.  While I didn't completely fulfill my goals, I came much closer than I would have had I not written them down. 

Here again are last week's goals and how I did...

As a mom:

• Have morning devotions with the girls every weekday. We got 4 out of 5 days.  Friday was a crazy day and it never happened.
• Have 15 minutes of school with Grace three times.
• Practice "Jesus Loves Me" with Grace and Leah every morning (for a nursing home special).
• Brush up on John 3:16 with Grace at least once a day.  I did this one on Monday and Tuesday, and then totally forgot about it!
• Sing/teach the girls "I May Never March in the Infantry" once a day.
• Teach Grace The Goops poem. Practice before/during lunch.  I ended up ordering The Goops Book and decided to wait until it came to start this one. 

For me:

• Listen to 30 minutes of Crazy Love on four days.
• Read 1 chapter of Power of a Praying Parent each morning. The other book for this month, Switch: How to Change Things when Change is Hard came in first, so I've been reading that one instead.
• Run twice.
• Do two weight workouts.
• Write 4 notes. I only wrote 3.
• Blog three times.
• List two items on Ebay.  I listed 3 items!
• Have a date at home with Ben. (we'll probably hang out in the garage watching him work on something!) This didn't happen either.  Next week. :)

Here are this week's goals.

As a mom:

• Have morning devotions with the girls every weekday.
• Have 15 minutes of school with Grace 3 times.
• Practice "Jesus Loves Me", "I May Never March in the Infantry", and "He is Able" and John 3:16 with the girls every weekday.
• Get outside for a walk or playtime twice.

For me:

• Create April monthly finance spreadsheet for Ben and me to review together.
• Do two weight work outs.
• Run twice.
• Listen to Crazy Love for two hours.
• Write 3 notes/cards.
• Finish Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard
• Do a batch of muffins and cookies for the freezer for Ben's lunch.
• Make Greek yogurt in the crockpot.
