- Pack up the dining room. I want to get everything except the table and chairs in this room ready to move. I am thinking I may move the table and chairs to another room (or even have Micah take them apart and get them ready to move) and start using this room as a place for packed boxes and totes to go. Still thinking about that but I want to go ahead and have the room ready if I do decide to do that.
- Menu planned, grocery list made, shopping done. I really need to get this done today! So this is going to be my main focus for Monday this and the kid's schoolwork.
- All laundry washed/dried/folded/and put away. I did not get all of the laundry done last week (like I said things have gotten a little out of control around here) and so this is a must for this week. I will work on finishing up last week's laundry today. Whites, towels, and reds. Then tomorrow I will start on this week's laundry. My goal is to have it all done by Friday.
- Morning Routine done everyday. Shower/dressed/bed made/kitchen cleaned/laundry started. My goal is to have my morning routine done by Noon. I know that it should be done no later than 9:00 a.m but I am trying to give myself some grace and also I don't want to set myself up for failure. So I'm giving myself till Noon to get it done but I am aiming for 9.
- Cook dinner every night! No going out to eat! No fast food! And no Take-Out! And that is why menu and shopping are my priority today!
- Work on my planner for after we move into the house. This is going to be a little tricky since I don't know the exact close date yet but I am hoping that making plans and putting things in my planner will help with my stress about the financing. I am making these plans in Faith that God will work it all out!
- Make our PM a loaf of homemade bread. I actually made him a loaf on Friday but he left early and so I missed him. Good news we had extra bread which came in handy Sunday night for a quick dinner of sandwiches and chips.
- Purge and organize Tyler's room/my office. I may even try to start packing this area up. I'm not sure on that though because I don't really have anywhere to put the boxes (unless we go ahead and take the dining room table apart). Still pondering this one!
- List 10 things on Ebay. I have a TON of homeschool stuff that I need to get rid of! I don't want to move it to the new house. However, I am a little nervous to add another thing to my very LONG to do list. But I am going to do my best!
- School every day with Andrew and Delaney! Also have next weeks school stuff ready to go before Monday morning!
I think I have a good mix of daily things that need to be done NO MATTER WHAT and some projects that will make the next few weeks before our move run more smoothly. I will keep you updated on how I'm doing throughout the week and if you have some goals that you are trying to accomplish let me know so that I can cheer you on too!
I love that you give yourself Grace. I need to work on that. This week I have to clean my kitchen, make dinner every night, and clean out the dresser drawers and closets of all my children (I have 4. A 15 yo, 11 yo, & 2 yo twins). These lists seem daunting but we can both get things accomplished if we set our minds too it.
ReplyDeleteI am working on the grace! Looks like we are both trying to cook dinner every night (which of course leads to cleaning up the kitchen)! I seriously need to clean out closets and dressers too but I keep telling myself I will clean them out when I pack up their rooms. I hope that I actually do that and not like last time we moved where I simply dumped the drawers into open boxes!
DeleteThanks for the encouragement and the comment! Let me know how you do on your list!
