5 For Five - June 9

So what is 5 For Five? In the short form, it is 5 goals you want to achieve this week. Next week, I will report on my success (or failure).

Here were the goals from last week:

1. SMART goal - read 12 newspapers this week. I am determined to get these done before Shelby turns 1 in less than about 2 months! No. I read 8. Not too bad, but not where I wanted to.
2. Find her some new toys. We have plenty in the house, just need to get them out.We found some new toys, thanks to hubby.
3. Make a grocery list with coupons at least a day before going shopping. We didn't do a big shopping trip, but I was organized when we went to the store, so I will consider this one a success.
4. Do some active blogging and give this blog some love and attention. I thought about it. Does that count?
5. Clear out some of the assorted paperwork around this house. Nope. Actually it got a little worse.

So this was a 2.5 out of 5.  This was an okay week. I really need to get back on track.

So what are my goals for this week???

I am going to try these once again to see if I have any better luck this week getting them done. I think the nice weather last week really sidetracked my goals. But I would rather be outside and enjoying Shelby, than checking off my goal list.

1. SMART goal - read 12 newspapers this week. I am determined to get these done before Shelby turns 1 in 2 months!
2. Get the toys organized
3. Make a grocery list with coupons at least a day before going shopping.
4. Do some active blogging and give this blog some love and attention.
5. Clear out some of the assorted paperwork around this house.

You are probably wondering what a SMART goal is.  It is a term I "borrowed" from Say Goodbye to Survival Mode by Crystal Paine at Money Saving Mom.  SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.  Since all these goals are really time-bound (1 week), I just have to get better at meeting the other criteria.

Ok, who is with me?  Let's keep each other on track to a better year!
