Whats On

Having a night owl has me up at night surfing the channels. Right now I’m watching the TLC show Kids by the Dozen. Every week the show features a new story about a family that is raising 12 or more kids. It is fascinating to see their everyday lives.

One of my favorite things about the show is  seeing  how the families keep the kitchen stocked, and the shopping trips for a super-sized family. I can barely keep up with my little family. I can’t imagine what it would be like to keep up with twelve, or more.

Today is going to be busy

Today is going to be one busy day, and I’m still feeling a little under the weather. Its time to gather up some energy and get going. Here is the plan for today:

  • Shop at Wal-Mart (we are out of everything at home)
  • Shop at Walgreens (sale on Kleenexes 2 @ $1.99 much needed item)
  • Dylan’s Doctor appointment @ 2:00 p.m.
  • Put away 4 loads of laundry
  • Stock James office fridge
  • Empty Upstairs Waste Baskets
  • Empty Downstairs Waste Baskets
  • Take out the trash
  • Fill the pet food bins
  • Change the  litter-box
  • Clean out the Fridge
  • Wash dishes and put away clean dishes

I hope I can make a dent in today’s to do list. I’m also taking both kids with me to the Doctor, so I hope that Thade will be good. Wish me luck 😉

November Projects

Well last month I literally got nothing finished at all. I have no idea how or why that happened, so this month I am going to try harder (as Thade would say). This month is all about the big two holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas, and all of the shopping and cleaning that comes with them. Here is what I hope to get accomplished in November:

  • Start and Finish my Christmas Shopping
  • Deep Clean and Organize the Kitchen
  • Deep Clean the Dining Room for Thanksgiving
  • Deep Clean the Living Room for Thanksgiving
  • Deep Clean the Foyer for Thanksgiving
  • Deep Clean both Bathrooms for Thanksgiving
  • Finish Christmas Sewing Projects
  • Get Christmas Pictures of the Boys (or I’m going to be in trouble with the Grandma’s)
  • Start the Christmas decorating, right after Thanksgiving

I hope November is a little more productive than October was 😉 Check back in to see how the projects are going 🙂

Turn Back the Clock

Did you remember to turn your clocks back one hour last night? I didn’t, so one more thing to do today. Daylight savings time completely messes with me, and it takes me a good week or two to get used to the changes. It didn’t seem to bother the kids though, they were both wide awake at the new 7:00 a.m. They are not too fond of sleeping in 😉

What about you… Do you have trouble adjusting to the time change? Which one do you prefer the Spring Time Change, or the Fall?
