trying to get stuff done!

so i’ve been having issues getting pictures up here from our trip. but they’re all on facebook now, so you can see them there if you so desire. we had a good trip and now i’m dealing with the whole post-trip thing. so much to do. house is a sty. laundry never-ending. and i’m totally lazy from not having to do the normal stuff while away. ugh.

but anyway, i’m going to try and make a to do list here for the week. hopefully i’ll get things done so i won’t have to feel depressed about it. yes, it’s my birthday, but stuff still needs to be done.

1. wash lindsey’s sleeping bags and return.
2. set up tent to air and sweep out all the dirt.
3. pick raspberries.
4. check pool, add water.
5. get skimmer for pool.
6. clean up stuff in backyard.
7. clean out cooler and return to mom and dad.
8. clean bathrooms.
9. catch up on laundry.
10. fold and put away the pile of sheets that has been in my room for weeks. :(
11. sweep and mop dining room and kitchen floor.
12. plan meals and grocery shop for the week.
13. costco run.
14. put away all camping stuff in a somewhat orderly fashion.
15. vacuum rug in garage.
16. put away doll house in garage and stash toys.
17. clean mom and dad’s on thursday.
18. return pei’s lantern.
19. work on mom’s shawl.
20. get shane’s bike.
21. pick up library books.

ugh. that should be enough. there’s a million other things that need to get done as well, but i’m not super enthusiastic about that list so far, so i think i’ll leave it alone. if i, by some miracle, get all that done and then some, i’ll be impressed. i wish i could make a different list… maybe something like:

1. drink coffee.
2. get plenty of sleep.
3. knit.
4. catch up on kids’ cartoons.
5. blog.
6. waste countless hours on facebook.
7. watch kids play outside.

i think i could handle that.
