I've actually made some progress on that to-do list from the last post! Are you impressed? I am! Haha! Not a TON of progress, but some nonetheless! So, let's do a little update on it, shall we:
Hannah signed up for Mother's Day Out (summer program) I got a call from the director of the program yesterday and Hannah is signed up and ready to go for MONDAY! I can't believe my little bit is going to go to "school" in just a couple of days!
- With H signed up for MDO, maybe find some part-time/freelance work to do from home? (If you have any leads, let me know!)
- Clean OUT our hearth room! I've got the 2nd china cabinet cleaned out (yeah, we have two...), but it needs to be moved to the attic. Then, I need to get the other stuff organized!
- In relation to above, turn hearth room into Hannah's play room! We have some toys in there already (her kitchen, a few other things) but I want to get ALL of her toys in there and out of the living room. At least for storage. I know they'll be all over the house no matter what, but at least at the end of the day, they can live in one room instead of EVERYWHERE!
- Really get started with sewing/embroidering with my machine. I've done a few things, but need to get going. (I did order the last of the "stuff" I feel like I really needed to get going, thanks to the advice of Mary Elizabeth!) Hopefully, this will happen in the next couple of weeks. I have a lot of fun ideas for spring/summer!
- Get MOVING! I've felt tired and sluggish and overall "blah" lately. And I think it's because we are cooped up a lot inside with winter, yucky weather. I want to really get outside and play with Hannah during the day (which she LOVES) and (maybe???) start running. I loathe running, so that's a big maybe. I'll be satisfied with good walks. :) I started with some yoga on Tuesday. It's postnatal yoga (hey, 18 months postnatal is STILL, technically, postnatal) but it's still moving! Hoping to get another round in today at naptime.
- Get our vegetable garden planned and planted (on time). We did well with this last year. I want it bigger and better this year. I did get a list of what to plant and when. That's a start!
- Generally, de-clutter. I feel like I do a little here and there, but not enough to make a difference. I need to REALLY make a clean sweep and get rid of a lot of crap. Maybe once stinky old tax season is over, we can do a for real spring cleaning in these parts. It's a two person job for sure!
So there's the update! Not huge strides, but getting some things accomplished. Makes me feel better, that's for sure! The most immediate things I want to do now are a) sewing (because I'd really like to get a dress done in time for the Easter Bunny to bring it in a certain little girl's basket... Plus, my nephew needs a new shirt for Easter too!), b) getting the Hearth Room cleaned out! (I really think I can do this in one afternoon, I just need to set out to do it, and not get side tracked) and c) find some freelance/part-time work from home stuff. So again, if anyone has any leads, let me know!

To-Do List
I've always got a running to-do list going in my head. Before Hannie, I ALWAYS had a written to-do list going, which I was pretty good about completing. Since Miss H has come along, my to-do lists have really gone to the wayside, unless we've got something big going on and I've got a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time.
But, there are a lot of things that I really NEED to get done, want to get done or would like to see happen either around the house or in my/our lives. Some of them are pretty small and trivial. some are mich bigger. But, they are all things that I'd like to see done, so on the list they go! So, I'm going to type them out here. Maybe getting them out here will motivate me a little more. If nothing else, at least no one will tear up/hide/color on/lose said list!
- Get Hannah signed up for Mother's Day Out (summer program) (should happen next week!)
- With H signed up for MDO, maybe find some part-time/freelance work to do from home? (If you have any leads, let me know!)
- Clean OUT our hearth room! I've got the 2nd china cabinet cleaned out (yeah, we have two...), but it needs to be moved to the attic. Then, I need to get the other stuff organized!

I know there is more, so I'm sure stay tuned for part deux!
