Fun:
1.Tonight my son’s performing at a local restaurant..CHECK lots of fun
2. Sunday is the official baking/gingerbread house building day..CHECK lots of cookie baking.. the gingerbread creations look a bit odd since it seems teenage boys don’t understand if you eat some of the pieces they don’t turnout quite like the photo!
3. Have to finish editing and organizing the photos from last weeks wedding so I can get them to the bride.. not done will do a bit each night this week
To Do:
1. Weekly housework (dust, vacumn, bathrooms, sheets, etc…) CHECK
2. Laundry CHECK
3. Food Shopping CHECK
4. One Christmas gift left to finish.. not done
5. Review shopping list to see if I missed anything.. done but need to do more shopping
6. Wrapping.. not done
..and the reason for so many not dones…. science teacher decided to give the kids a ‘small’ project due this week.. build a model of DNA.. lots of trips back and forth to the craft and office supply store.. it so fit in with the weeks activities… cookie baking, Christmas shopping, build a dNA model.. 🙁
Have a great week everyone!
When I started reading your blog I immediately started making lists for everything, this has slowly died on me but every time I revisit your page I get re-inspired again to do it! 2012 will be the list and organized year!
I LOVED seeing you mentioned in the Better, Homes & Gardens article on Organizing in the January issue I got yesterday. Congrats what a great way to start out the year!
