Things on My Plate

Posted May 7th, 2009 by MamaArcher 7 Comments »

My hubby comes home in just over a week!  I am anxious to see my other half.  The two really do become one and I am feeling only half here which makes it difficult to accomplish the tasks at hand.  I had great hopes of big accomplishments to have completed by time he returned but many of those have fallen by the wayside.  There are however, several things I would like to finish before he arrives.  Here is my list…..many cannot be done until next week and payday but……check in with me and please encourage me to get these things finished…I need some accountability! 

  • Finish the faux painting in the bedroom
  • Buy and possibly put up the new ceiling tiles
  • Put together a dresser and fill with clothes
  • Fold and put away that MOUNTAIN of laundry which is currently residing on the pool table
  • Finish planting the flowers
  • DUST, DUST, DUST
  • Pick up the wood flooring for the office
  • Rake the leaves along the sides of the bottom half of the creek
  • Restock the pantry and freezer
  • hang lantern and cross in bedroom
  • hang street signs in the game room
  • Get baby photo framed and hung
  • Clean all the bathrooms thoroughly –  the whole house for that matter!
  • One more dump run
  • Wash the winter grime off of our vehicles
  • buy a lock and then move the BBQ grill to the deck
  • Plant the bushes in the backyard
  • Pull the painting tape up off of the hallway floor
  • Call the people about the lousy way they want to handle fixing my washer and see what concessions they will make
  • Check on fabric to reupholster the sofa

OK—that is it for now.

    I’m thinking about right now if my list looked like that I would turn and run the other way. Good luck and have a great reunion with your dh.

    I am encouraging you to get moving on that list…but I’m laughing over this one…. Wash the winter grime off of our vehicles ::snort:: Oh, Alaska. Our packing dates have been moved and so it is very unlikely we can make it to Alaska before Japan.
