The Decorations Have Got To Go
I still haven’t taken down the Christmas decorations… I’m pretty sure the cat thinks that the tree has become a permanent fixture in the office, and he is pretty happy about it. Thade has been on my case about “not having enough time to get the decorations down”, so I am setting a goal for myself, by this weekend the decorations will be down and put away. Well maybe not the outside ones, our yard is still encased in ice…
Filed under To Do List | Comments (2)12 Months 12 Projects
This is one thing that I hope to get done this year, well make that 12 things. My list of projects that I need to do around the house is getting a little overwhelming, so I decided to tackle the list one month at a time. I figure there are 12 months in the year, that is plenty of time for me to complete 12 projects. So here they are in random order:
- Finish painting Agnes’ Nursery
- Paint the Master Bedroom
- Paint the Upstairs Bathroom
- Paint the Boy’s Room
- Organize Agnes’ Nursery and Closet
- Organize the Boy’s Room and Closet
- Paint the Kitchen
- Clean out the Utility Room
- Deep clean all of the closets and cabinets throughout the house, and have a yard sale
- Re-arrange the Kitchen, and make room for a pantry
- Clean the back-yard, and organize all of the outside toys
- Enclose the side porch and make a new office for James
Surely I’ll be able to get a few of these done this year…

Christmas is on the way!!!!!
O.k. the clock is ticking down and my list of things to get done is growing. Thade is out of school till the new year, and Dylan and Agnes both have colds. This is going to be one of those weeks, I hope I can get it all done and keep my sanity intact.
I still need to…..
- Call Wal-Mart and find out why my stinking pictures are delayed, and then get them a.s.a.p.!
- Finish up the gifts for the Grandmas, and wrap a few more presents
- Finalize the Christmas dinner menu, and grocery shop
- Run to the Post Office
- Take James lunch at work today and tomorrow
- E-mail the family with the details on Christmas dinner
- CLEAN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! Yeah pretty much every room needs a deep clean
- Put away 7 loads of laundry, and wash 3 more
- Take out the trash
- Catch up on dishes
- Make Christmas goodies for my family
- Get to the Christmas Candle Light service at our Church on Christmas eve with my family, after that we are going to go and look at Christmas lights.
- Celebrate like crazy and get lots of hugs on Christmas day!
Time to get to it, the little ones are still sleeping in this morning.
Filed under To Do List | Comments (3)Time To Stock Up
With the hospital visit just around the corner, I have got to get the house ready and stocked. I’m planning a few extra shopping trips this weekend to make sure that I have everything on hand for the kiddos and house guests too. I should probably pick up a few extra snacks for my hubby too.
I’m going to shop at Dollar General to stock up on paper goods. You can find a 6 pack of toilet paper for just $1.00, and facial tissues are just $1.00 too. I’m buying extra, and stocking up on paper towels there too.
Yet another trip to Wal-Mart is in order too. I have a lot of items to pick up, meals to buy for and then prepare, and I also need to get Halloween party supplies too. I hope to make it in one big trip, but knowing me, I’ll forget something, and have to make a second trip out. I would like to have the house stocked for at least two weeks, but Thade is eating us out of house and home lately, so if I can get a week stocked, I’ll call it good.
I’m off to make some lists…
