"LET'S SET SOME GOALS"

This is how it's going to work! I'm going to have an advice section, a goals for the week section and a What's on your mind section? I will put stuff and if you want to ad to it E-mail me (mindituckett@yahoo.com) your suggestions and ?'s and we'll see if we can help each other. I will post only once a week so check in at the first of the week to set your goals... Good Luck and keep going!!!


THIS WEEKS GOALS:

CLEANING GOAL- Pick the 3 dirtiest rooms in your house and give them a good deep clean. For example: If you would Rather jump in your car and drive to the nearest gas station to use the bathroom, then you might want to start with your bathrooms!!!
If you are a working mom then try 1 room and work up if you have the time.

FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF GOAL- Try to do some type of workout at least 3 days this week! I have no exercise equipment at my house and no extra money for a gym pass, so my workouts are pretty simple. I bought a mini tramp at a yard sale about 6 years ago and up until the last couple of months had never used it. I use it now and actually enjoy it! I also run around my couch sometimes. My kids like that, because they can run and chase me and it's more of a game for them. The trick is to just keep moving for 30 min to an 1 hour.

THIS WEEKS ADVICE:
To be able to accomplish any goals you have to have the support of the ones around you. I have a wonderful husband that works hard at work and then will come home and clean, watch the kids and pretty much do anything I need him to do. I know that is not how most house holds are so here some advice that hopefully won't be taken the wrong way! If your husband doesn't do as much in the house or help that much with the kids, then maybe this would be a good time to sit down with him and see what he would be willing to do to help you with your goals for the week.
If your having a hard time with your cleaning goals, because the kids, then see if he will take them for a little while or play with them in another room. if that's not his thing then see if he can help you keep the house picked up so you can work on the deep cleaning. Your goals don't have to be the same ones as mine, but still set some realistic goals that you will feel good about accomplishing...

If you don't want to wake up at 5:30am to exercise then do it when your husband gets home. It gives you a break for an hour and you feel good after you do it.



WHAT'S ON THE MIND: I have 3 kids that like to destroy and do everything they can to tune mommy out! They don't listen and think it's funny when I get mad... SO here is my help ? this week.
What is the best way to discipline your kids without feeling like "Your the worst mom ever"?
