Weekly Goals & Meal Plan – Solo Parenting Wrecked My Goals

Last week was not a good week for accomplishing my goals. I honestly couldn’t tell you why. The whole week was just a blur. We had a snow/ice/cold day on Thursday and Keith left for the SEC Women’s Tournament Thursday afternoon and didn’t get back until late last night. It was not my finest performance as a solo parent. I was lucky to get us all fed most of the time.

Oh well…no use dwelling on the past. Let’s see what’s up for this coming week.

Last Week’s Goals

Wife/Mom

~Lunch notes for Brooke every day
~At-home date night with Keith

Me

~Track everything in LoseIt every day I may have missed a meal or two but I consider that success
~Check into the Naturally Thrifty Mommy Facebook Challenge 5 of 7 days – I decided early into the week that I’m not ready for this challenge…maybe April!
~Prep lunches night before
~Bible plan reading complete 5 of 7 days – I’ve been doing horrible with this :o(

Home

~Bedroom cleaned up…primarily the laundry monster next to my side of the bed
