Intentional Living: Weekly Goals

The girls did great on their first full week of school.  Everyone is doing well but still adjusting to the school schedule (Mom included).  On top for all the school fun we had doctor appointments, after school activities, and surgery keeping us busy this past week.  The good news is we have today off of school and work to catch up on items around the house and to spend some extra time together as a family.

Last week’s goals:

Family Goals

1. Read regularly to the girls and have them read to me
2. Greenville Drive Baseball Game with Family – the girls earned their tickets from the library by reading books this summer
3. Daily School Activities & Homework Completed – homework is more time consuming with them being in different classes but we managed it pretty well this week.
4. Lunch Boxes & Book Bags packed the night before
5. Doctor Appointments
6. After School Activities
7. ENT Surgery & Recovery

Personal Goals

1. Exercise at least 5 days this week – didn’t stay on top of this one
2. Finish reading Our Boys by Joe Drape – I started this one a couple years ago and never finished so starting over.  It’s about the Smith Center, Kansas football team (it has been interesting reading the book so far because I know some of the people in it since my parents live near Smith Center) – I started it again! 🙂
   

Home Management Goals

1. All laundry for the week washed, folded, and put away in one day
2. Weekly Dinner Menu planned out for the week
3. Prep for my Fall Organizational Schedule – hoping to get to this next week
4. Pay all upcoming bills

1. Work on ideas for upcoming blog posts
2. Keep up with the day to day items that need my attention
3. Get caught up on blog items – getting started

Ministry Goals

I think it is important to share and encourage each other as we seek to improve our lives and the lives of those around us.  I want to live intentionally not just hope all my dreams and goals come true.  When I focus on small steps of improvement I am able to see results as I get closer to my goals.  Some weeks I get closer to the goals I have in my life and other weeks a take a few steps back (life happens, emergencies occur, people get sick).  Once the goals are written down and shared it provides a guideline for what I aim to accomplish this week.
