The Mediocre Mom's Guide to Greatness

Friday December 11th, 2009

Today’s Activity:

Make Arrangements with a neighbor to watch each others kids for an hour or two next Saturday (dec. 19^th)

Note:

This will give you and your neighbor sometime to finish up that last minute shopping.

Evaluate:

I cheated a little bit on this one.  I’m actually done with all of my shopping.  However, the 19th is the day of Elese’s birthday party so I will be entertaining her little friends which should give their parents the opportunity to do a little shopping.

FYI All the pages on the side (About, Motivate, Birthdays, Just For, Community, etc.) are all up and running so feel free to take a look around.  These pages will be ever changing so check back frequently for more ideas.

Today’s Activity:

Date night is coming up fast.  Schedule your sitter!

Note:

If you are low on cash forget the sitter, order pizza and cuddle up in front of the fire while watching a movie.

Prepare:

Friday we will be baking again.  Do you have any great Thanksgiving treats that you like to make?  Go shopping for what you need.  Otherwise just make something new.

*If you are a single mom then plan a night out on your own, you deserve it!  It can be a girl’s night out or maybe you’ve wanted to ask someone out for a while.  Whatever it is make time for you!

REMINDER:

Today is your last chance to enter the costume contest!  We haven’t had a lot of entries so far and I would be so sad if we had to just bag it.  Please check this out for more details.

Today’s Activity:

It’s that time again.  Schedule a sitter for a night out with your sweetie*.

Note:

Plan something HE would want to do for this date night.  Surprise him with an action movie you really don’t want to see or maybe even double date with HIS friends.  This activity is about making you happier but if you make your man happy he just might give you a nice back rub as a thank you…or maybe chocolates.

Prepare:

Friday is another day for baking something yummy.  You will be making your favorite cookies and if they’re your favorite you will probably already have all the ingredients but if you don’t take a quick trip to the store today.
