A Monday Organizing and Planning Day

July 22, 2013 By Mary Hill 3 Comments

By Mary Hill


Hi, I love linking up to this goal-orientated hop each week which is sponsored by Jessica at Fantastically Average and Jenn from Party of One. With this hop, you just list five goals each week and comment each week on how you did on the prior week’s goals. Sometimes you can work on the same five for weeks at a time which is something that I am finding to be true.  Participating gives me direction for my new week, and I also get tips from my readers which I love to share too.

My last week goals were:

1. Work on poems to submit to some of the contests listed on Poets and Writers website database. ( have narrowed down to two places but still going to work on this one this week)
2. Develop my own blog hop directory that will have up-to-date links on great hops to join. If you want me to include your hop or linky then you can include a link in comments. Keep in mind that this will take me a few weeks to finalize.  (this will be on the list for this week again. It is a work in progress).

3. Continue to work on family exercise plan. (I have had a lot going on with my family lately. My oldest daughter has another minor surgery tomorrow for her sinus infections, and I still am dealing with my knee pain. We did go to the zoo yesterday and walked for hours.)

  • This week I think I will sit down with hubby and flesh out a plan just for this week.  We have decided to walk around our town square this week every night. I will do two laps, and they can do more if they want. My daughters and I will start doing morning crunches on Tuesday.

4. Schedule my knee therapy sessions as well as take care of medicine issues impacted by my insurance while trying to keep my sanity in dealing with my insurance company. (Go this Tuesday at 1:45 for my first session; so I will be able to move on to new goal next week.)
5. Continue to work with my daughter on encouraging reading and preparation for the next school year. 

  • Play and feed hungry people
  • We are behind on this goal because of family issues that have taken my attention away from this goal. My main accomplishment this week is that we found a vocabulary online game, freerice.com . Makers of the game donate rice to feed the hungry everytime you play. We had a ball just doing that.  
  • I may take this off my goals for the rest of summer. It was hard because my other daughter needed to go to the doctors and has had to have two surgical procedures this summer. She is doing great, and these health issues were never life threatening but involved some nagging female problems and sinus issues. She should be back on her feet after this last procedure tomorrow (Monday at 6:00 a.m.) I will probably get back on tomorrow to finalize my other blog hops and sign ups. Thanks for everyone’s encouragement and support. 
So in a nutshell: My five goals for next week are the same as last week.

    Enjoyed reading your list! Ahhh . . . goals! I do not always do so good with this . . . but certainly worth, starting over!

    And, I also have fibro – and need to lose weight. I’ve been trying to lay off the sugars more. It’s a step!
