Some Goals

I have been working hard on a schedule for once Shane starts school.  It is going to throw a huge change into our current routine.  I'm frustrated because I feel like I can't nail it down.  So for now I am just listing a few goals I have for myself.  :) {Super exciting post right?}

Morning Goals- 
* Get up, make bed right away {need to get into this habit!} 
* Brush teeth
* Get dressed {I want to buy some cheap dresses and comfy "House" clothes so I'm not in PJ's all day.  Especially since I will have to pick up Shane everyday from school at noon. 
* Do a load of laundry right away, and put it on my bed.  Fold it right away, but put away after boys wake up 
* Devotions/Bible/Pray {Already do, but I have some bible reading goals}
* Make breakfast {enough for everyone, usually I make bf just for hubby at this time} and lunch for hubby 
* Write/Work on blog 
* Walk a couple mornings a week

Day Time goals- 
* Reading time with boys
* Have boys color
* Tuesday/Thursday "homeschool" Cody K4 
* Make boys nutrious food
*  Make boys do chores 
* Log my food into My Fitness Pal {not to count calories since I'm pregnant... just as a journal!} 

Night time goals- 
* Do dishes and run dishwasher every night (already been doing this, and I LOVE it. Just started & is such a blessing to wake up to a clean kitchen!) 
*Pray with boys
* Bible with boys as well as story
*Boys lights out by 8pm
* Me lights out by 10 pm

Okay so that was way more than a few.

Yesterday my I got an iPhone 4s! yay! Reece dropped my old phone in a cup of water.  So my Mom said she'd buy me an iPhone for my bday, which is in a couple weeks! (ack! 28!)

The Lord was so good, and when I called to see if Target had a white iPhone 4s the man told me they were going on sale on Sunday, so with the sale, plus they gave me $30 for my old phone ($25 off coupon for a new phone when you trade in a phone, plus $5 for my phone value), and I used my Redcard, I got it for $67 total (that's including tax, which is $50 because in CA is based on retail price, stupid taxes).  THEN I got a $25 Target gift card on top of all that! Super! So today, I am selling my iPod for $80,  then using my Target $25 gift card to get my husband a new iPhone.  It's $49 plus $50 tax, but minus $25 for trading in his phone, PLUS $24 for the value of his iPhone 3gs, so we will pay $25 out of pocket total for his new phone, AND get a $25 gift card to Target so it's basically FREE! Amazing deal right now. THAT'S better than getting a free iPhone 4 because we'd still have to pay $50 tax.
Yay for savings, sales, coupons, and beign frugal.  And yay that I will be able to blog more with my iPhone.

Thank you for listening. I love you.
