I had great plans for last week. However, lurking germs had totally different plans! Not much you can do when your little ones are fighting a stomach bug. So several of our plans had to be laid aside.
I’m just thankful that it was only a minor stomach bug since there are so many parents out there worried about far worse things happening in their children’s lives!
So not a whole lot of things got checked off of my list. And since it’s going to be a short holiday kind of week, I’m not even going to move all of those things to this week. We’re going to focus on food, family, and gratitude!
This week’s goals:
Home and Barn
Finish barn pen- Bathroom project
- Sell 5 items
- Paint some baseboards (I had hoped to get this done in 2015 and am running out of time!)

- Earn 250 Swagbucks
Apply for 3 research studies

I'm Jamie, and I want to help you afford a beautiful life with your family. 
Thanks for talking about Swagbucks each week – signed up again (tried it about this time last year and spent way too much time for the payoff…I know better now, ha, thanks to your goals…250 a week is more than enough to be reasonable to acquire, yet still generate results).
Sorry to hear about the sick kidlets – being sick is never fun, and neither is caring for those that are sick. While I’ve never had to watch for ill kids, an ill Mister is more than enough work for me, ha!
Yeah, my hubby is sick now, too. Just one more bonus sized kid to care for now! 😉
I have to remind myself about Swagbucks each day. If I just remember to keep it running, I can make my goal. Just have to remember to get to the site each day!
