This Week's Goals

Time for a goals update. Last week:

Personal

1. Run three times this week, at least.
2. Knit about 17 rows per day on a hand towel for the bathroom. {I've knit about 90 rows total.}

Marriage

4. Most nights, focus on Erik when I get home from running and have nightly chores done.
5. Have a Game Night again.
6. Firmly establish a no-complaining rule, for my own sake as much as everyone else's. Complaining zaps joy from a moment; since I have a very happy life, it would be silly to zap joy from my moments.

Children/Homeschooling

7. Take Nick to preschool - with homework finished.
8. Catch the kids doing nice things to take care of objects around the house so I can put buttons in our newly instated Care for Things jar.
9. Continue Xander on 10-15 minutes reading to himself before bed to count for Pizza Hut's Book-It program.

Financial

10. Continue a No-Spend month. {When I listed my acceptable exceptions last week, I forgot to mention that I bought Nick new shoes that were at a very good sale price. I also tacked on two $5 long-sleeve shirts to our WalMart grocery shopping trip. And then another one for Xander.}
11. Take a look at our financial goals and do some thinking.
