Weekend Wrapup

Backward

One of the kids had a tournament this weekend. The venue was about an hour's drive away, and the schedule for Day Two had a gap of some five hours to fill.

We were able to fill the time with a leisurely lunch and a low-priced movie ($2.99 a ticket!).

In between trips I managed to get a bit of baking and laundry done, but precious little else.

I'll post more about tournament survival on Wednesday.

I'm still working on the homekeeping routines. This week I'm going to try to get all FlyLady Kelly's missions done. We're in the kitchen, and the heart of my home could definitely use some attention.

I'm going to stick with the blogging schedule I set up last week. It helps to have a plan in place, rudimentary as it may be.

Weekend Wrapup

Monday morning rolls around and my thoughts turn Janus: looking backward and forward.

Backward: The Weekend
As a family, we didn't spend any money on fast food. We had some entertaining expenses, but not crazy-huge. The rink season is drawing to a close, with attendant year-end parties and tournaments. The kids are unhappy about it. The parents all look more than a bit desperate for it all to end.

Forward: The Week
This week I'm going to work on scheduling my online time. So this blog goes to Monday, Wednesday and alternate Friday postings. Twitter gets two looks a day, ditto for email and the Books and Writers forum where I like to hang out. Blog reading shifts to an evening-only activity.

I'm also going to continue working on the homekeeping routines. This is absolutely necessary if I'm ever going to live in a semi-clean house again.
