Week 2 goals:
Chore: Main Bathroom
Health: Walk Charlie
Time Management: No going back to sleep after get up in morning
Budget: Run dishwasher fuller/better
I did fairly well this week, didn't walk charlie at all, have to figure out how to fit in schedule, after the kids leave (which was my plan) just doesn't work, i'm tired, some days it's almost dark, and the last few days it was so muggy i had zero ambition to do anything by then... Once a few of the kids start 'school' this week i'm thinking i'm going to try to take the few that are here with and go for a walk. I cleaned the bathroom most days, and swiffered it half way through the week, need to do it a little more, but did better this week then others! I don't think I went back to sleep any days, but did sit down on couch after kids get there, but didn't go back to sleep! I hadn't been running the dishwasher horibly before, but a few times i would just go 'oh well, it's almost full' but this week i made the concious decission each time whether or not it was completely full or not.
Week 3:
Room: Play Room
Pick up and Vacuum every night
Health: Only 2 'treats' a day
inc. pop, candy, cookies, cake.... (not reasonably sweetened tea or coffee)
Time Management: 3 hours or less of 'sit down' TV watching (doesn't include when actively doing something
else)
Do something while watching too
Budget: Cut monthly eating out budget to $40 (inc fast food, delivery, real restaurants, deli food etc.)
The play room can get behind quickly so keeping up on it daily will help a lot! (and of course try to have kids do most of pick up before they leave). Only 2 treats a day is actually a lot so even less would be better, but it's a very doable number and a stepping stone. 3 hours of sit down TV is more than enough, doesn't include things like watching hulu when doing dishes, or when picking up living room. While I don't spend a ton of money eating out, if I go out etc once a week it really adds up!
