10 Things


Trying to do enough today to not feel like the whole week was a total waste.  So I decided on 10 things.  Here they are in no particular order:

1.   clean the bathroom
2.   clean the hard floors
3.   put away the languishing laundry currently living in the playroom still one load to fold but the folded and hangered stuff is finally where it belongs!
4.   fold diapers (also put away) my sweet boys folded them while I read from Farmer Boy and then I put them away myself because I am a bit obsessive about the laundry- it's hard enough to let them fold them (although they have come a LONG way from when they started learning!)
5.   vacuum
6.   dust MJ did this for me
7.   spend 15 minutes in the sewing room will post about this later in the week
8.   bank deposit
9.   April menu plan (started but not yet done)
10. get clothes ready for Sunday finished Saturday evening!!

These are of varying difficulty and range in time frames from 10 minutes (vacuuming, cleaning bathroom) to an hour or more (bank deposit and menu plan).  Most fall in the half hour range.  I have not included ('though I was sorely tempted!) lessons, cooking meals, starting bread for tomorrow or basic child care stuff. 

Now I am off to feed the baby so she can go down for her morning nap and I can get started.  I could get most of it done before lunch if I focused.  Is that even possible for me any more? 

Oh, I have already planted a row in the garden this morning so I feel pretty good about that.

I love lists. And a list of 10 sounds just right! I will have to make my own list today. I could use some motivation! :)
By the way... I am so thankful for you my friend... I just wanted you to know it!
I love you!

Friday, March 28, 2008 - your list


Posted by stitchesbyteresa
Hi Lindsey!
Wow your list makes me tired, as well as what you've already done that's not on the list! I did notice something that needs amending (chuckle, chuckle)...spending 15 min in sewing room is NOT a problem...being PRODUCTIVE for 15 min in sewing room is the problem!!! LOL...I only say this to YOU my friend b/c you've seen my sewing room and understand how that could be a problem FOR ME! LOL...from one who likes to stare at fabric swatches...I'm sure you don't have the same problem as me, though b/c you somehow manage to have more energy even w/your kiddies in tow!
Seriously, though, your list inspired me and I shall have to try this soon, but not today! I actually just got up at 4 PM(oh, the gasps!) and put my clothes in the dryer and about to get ready to go out to eat at Chili's w/my hubby and sister/her hubby...then off to a Celtic fiddler's show in Chattanooga. OOH...AAAH. I'm so looking forward to this evening out!!! Maybe I'll try your idea monday!
Tell your family "hi" from the hummingbird lady! LOL
Teresa
