I have a ton of stuff to do this week, especially because we were all in bed with the flu *all week* last week. Unfortunately, I am still lacking motivation... but at this point, I am going to get it done with or without motivation. It needs to get done!
- Before the freeze, bring inside all gallon buckets of paint. *we found out this spring that latex paint, even in FULL GALLONS can freeze and turn completely useless*
- Call the lab to complain about my blood tests from 6/23/09, the results of which were never forwarded to either me or my doctor.
- Empty Master Bedroom to deep clean and paint.
- Reorganize bedroom furniture as refilling room... for more productivity since it is also my office/craft room for the next few months -at least-
- Finish painting the front door. OK, so the sun was in my eyes and I stopped before I finished. That isnt so bad until you know that I started it in MAY.
- Shopping at Sams Club for fall freezer frenzy.
- Run weekly errands including post office and bank.
- Download and install new parental control program on all PCs.
- Finish sorting through teenager's room looking for stuff she should no longer have access to... then put everything away.
- Finish cleaning storage closet. Half of its contents are not even in it because of my last attempt to clean it.
- Winterize the garage by cleaning, storing, labeling. Take old items to donate. Move freezer to basement *because we also learned this year that freezers now-a-days require a minimum exterior temperature of 47 degrees to properly function*
- Install new mouldings around exterior doors -that were chewed up by the dog-
- Start and finish sewing projects including 3 roman shades, 2 pillows, a dresser topper, an apron, adjusting the width of 2 valances and sewing a little sumtin' sumtin' onto the little one's curtains to fancy-shmancy them up a bit.
- I have 4 projects on hold because I need to measure before I can buy supplies. I need to measure and purchase supplies before the weekend.
- Paint trim wood and beadboard.
- We still do not have costumes for this year, so I need to purchase those and successfully get out of the store without buying anything else.
- DID I MENTION all of this has to happen with 2 kids off school the last of the week for 2 days? AND DID I MENTION that I also have to facilitate 3-5 appointments for daughter who is still out-of-state with Aunt... including travel arrangements from there (Ohio) to here (Wisconsin) for the appointments.
- Oh, and lets not forget that if I am purchasing food for the freezer, I also have to frenzy to get it ready for storage... so insert another couple days of cooking, packaging and freezing.
- I need to finish trimming the dog. I trimmed her face and 3 paws, but she was farting (hense today's joke) and let her go. She needs the remaining paw trimmed, the nails on the two back paws filed down and a bath.
- This is all completely without mentioning that I am in the MIDDLE of a huge scrapbook project (whoops, I guess I just mentioned it)...
How much of it do you think I can accomplish? Hmmm? I dont even know the answer to that... but I do know that I am committed to checking back in with you everyday to let you know. Stick with me. Together we will do great things this week!
