Mondays are a lot of things but they are also a good time to set your goals for the week.
Mine are to do squares for my blanket in looming and get at least 3 reviews up.
I would love to install a new faucet I got for review but that may be over my knowledge base and may need DH's BF to do it (he used to be a contractor).
What are your goals this week?

My week is off to a good start. 1. I've gotten my vehicle looked at and will drop off tomorrow for the repair. 2. Figured out and recorded vaccinations of the cats in my new organizational notebook Now all the pets records are up-to-date and recorded in one place. 3. Five loads of laundry done and folded. 4. Schoolwork for the week started (no small feat that i'm motivated for that on a Monday!) Now for the rest of the week, i've got errands and shopping when I get vehicle back repaired

Hmmm .This week my goals are mainly around eating healthy and working out all 5 days. I fell of the health wagon and am using this week to reboot myself and get back into doing what I need to be doing.
I want to do my March Project Life (photos got printed today) and also finish my lesson plans for 2 classes I am teaching this summer at the college.
Oh and I have an open house in the store where my booth is at. I need to go up there Thursday/Friday and freshen things up to get ready for that.'

My husband is out of town and I want to accomplish a lot while he is gone. We recently went from a house of 5 to a house of 3 and we are remodeling/repurposing our home. 1. Paint 4 bookshelves, printer cart and file cabinet. 2. Move office from downstairs to upstairs. 3. Paint bathroom. 4. Refinish the bathroom grout.
I also need to manage my sons end-of-year activities and get him back and forth to his job.
Good luck, everyone!

We need to get 19 yo DD a car stat! DS got his license today and has a job interview Wednesday. Sharing 1 car between 3 people seemed impossible, so I got a rental but don't want it long-term.

To get back on track with not eating sugar. I gave up all obvious sugar in March and was thrilled about that. I went on holiday in April and allowed myself some treats and sugar was starting to slowly creep back in. It's a slippery slope, so today was back to zero. And as it's 11pm and I'm going to bed in a sec it's mission accomplished! For day one anyway.

My goals this week: 1. Survive. I'm subbing tomorrow through next Monday in a kindergarten class. I love kindergarten. I love the little ones. I love subbing. I love kids. Did I mention this is tomorrow through next Monday? As in five days, four of which will be in a row? Oh, and I guess I forgot to mention that it's supposed to rain AGAIN! So, indoor recess with kindergartners. The silver lining is that I'll have an assistant so there will be adult conversation. The other silver lining is that I love the little ones. Yeah, I'll keep telling myself that, over and over and over...

Oh boy, I have a busy one ahead of me.
I need to organize desserts for 60 at my son's recital reception on Thursday, and some sort of gift for the 4 other members of his chamber group who have so nicely agreed to perform, and for his accompanist who is the nicest, most awesomest pianist on the planet. I have not started any of it, so it's a goal to have it done before he starts playing the recital.
Set a date and time for his Eagle Court of Honor. It must be done by tomorrow night in order for the troop to get their side moving.
I want to meet a work deadline on Friday without having to call for an extension.
I have to meet a second work deadline for a different customer on Friday.
I also want to have some fun with my daughter while she's here for another couple weeks.

To try not to be tempted to bitch slap my hubby or youngest kid before the week is over.
Chances are I won't achieve that goal!

1. Kick the Starbucks in the evening habit. Frappy happy hour did me in! 2. Have hubby finally complete unemployment paperwork - he started weeks ago and I found out 2 weeks ago didn't finish. Didn't finish last week either. Nor today. 3. Start and finish a card swap for a retreat in September. I am always late - always. This time I'm going to be early. 40 cards ready to assemble, 40 more to make. 4. Hem 4 pairs of pants. 4 ... which I have had for a year. aww heck, I better try them on. 5. Hold back on sending our attorneys a nasty email to get my MIL to sign the power of attorney form so we can fix the trust issues. Add me to the hold off on bitch slapping people list!

I need to Mail out orders from this past weekend, continue well two of training 6 new girls, week one of three more, I've got an advanced consultant training on Tuesday, corporate conference call Wednesday, board of directors meeting Thursday, and I need to book 6 June parties, do $3500 inn sales, pack for next week's business trip and then vacation, set the dogs up at the groomer and kennel, make dentist appointments, revamp the corporate website, buy a wedding gift, and wrap them...and I think that's it....aside from a 2 hour drive to and from a reds game, cooking bbq chicken for the church fundraiser and attending and making a dessert for the spring sports banquet.
It's going to be a good week!

Make it through the week! We have ten days of school left. I'm trying to do end of year testing with all my students in two buildings, working around field trips and other testing and special activities. I got home about 7:30 tonight; I have something going on every night this week. I'm making lists and crossing things off and keeping my eyes on getting to the weekend.

I have so e thungs I hope to have finished this week:
*get Phoebe's bathing suits from last year and give them to my best friend for her daughter (who was Phoebe's best friend). Don't know if I can or not, but I will try
* finish 2 chairs that I am refinishing, I have everything sanded down and did one coat of white on the chairs. I need to add a few more coats of white and then need to restain the chair seats and put them back on. A friend of mine gave me the chairs because they were in her crawlspace and matched the other 2 from the flea market I had redone. She is coming for a book club next Tuesday so I want them redone for her to see
*sand, prime! and chalkboard paint a new top for our buffet in the dining room. The buffet we bought in Belgium around 1997 and we are making it into a liquor cabinet/bar. Today our carpenter came and cut another top for it from an extra piece of wood we had. The new top will be made into a big chalkboard top and just placed ontop of the buffet. I love the chalkboard top idea but did not want to do any permanent change or paint it so the lay upon top is the easiest compromise. I also want that dine for book club next week
*get to Board of Education and finalize the paperwork for. Y teaching position again next year
*revamp the PowerPoint and get things ready for the new students' Kindergarten orientation

May is my busiest month at work and I swear everything is due this week. I have to finalize our 16/17 budget ($4.2 million), submit 4 budget modifications to different grantees, finish 2 budgets for 16/17, finish my April financials for the board meeting Wednedsay, and probably 5 other things I can't remember right now.
Home wise I have a workouts, kid stuff, dog stuff, husband stuff....my goal for home is to just survive without forgetting anything important.
I can't wait for June to get here and I can breath again.
