15 Goals for this Week

I have not posted goals in a long time. The primary reason is because I beat myself up when I don’t accomplished half of the goals. So I opted out but still beat myself up for not planning. Does that make sense? Well after rereading Crystal Paine’s book I realized that maybe…just maybe I am planning to do too much in one week. My type is was showing big time. This week I am going with basic goals and limiting myself to three goals per category. The primary goal this week is to access how realistic is my goal planning process.

Used Book Sale Gold

This week we attended our local library's used book sale. It was a home educators dream with three gyms full of used books and a free book for every kid attending the event. Last year I did not find this sale until late into day one. This year I grabbed some of the ladies and we where there when the doors opened on a bright sunny morning.

Being a veteran of homeschool conferences and book sales I brought along my trusty bright orange suitcase. I fear it was bulging after just twenty minutes.

Can you guess how many books I shoved into this beauty?

I was very selective because we still have curriculum to buy for next school year but we got most of our wish list.

• 26 Magic Tree House Books
• Usborne Reference Books
• a raw cookbook
• CM book
  

So we got 64 books for $49.00!

Happy Homeschooler!
