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!

- 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. :)

- Get our vegetable garden planned and planted (on time). We did well with this last year. I want it bigger and better this year.

- 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!

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