on my mind...

The "list of things" to do on my mind is lengthy these days...Thought that maybe if I put them down...then they wouldn't be quite so heavy...here goes...

PREPARING homemade VALENTINES for both Morgan and Landon's classes...haven't even started yet...FINDING the perfect Birthday gift for her...wanting to treat Mr C to some homemade bread this week (major points to be scored there)...Been meaning to clean out jewelry drawer (is complete disaster right now)...crafting with my sis...so many ideas we both have...trying to get ready to show some at a craft market...which reminds me that first my craft closet in laundry room needs to be reorganized...(that's at least a full day to go through that heap)...PREPARING MIKEY for Jr High...I am admittedly not ready for this...I am desperate to learn to sew this month...need someone to teach me...mom?...you up for that...the DENALI needs service...most hated chore for me is anything in the auto-chore department...WILL IT PLEASE STOP RAINING SO THAT I CAN GET THE DENALI WASHED...(PLEASE)...morgan needs her well-check appt...call DR WOLFE for that one and oh...Mikey needs his hearing checked (letter came home about 3 weeks ago)...so better make that 2 appointments...THE ECONOMY...Mr C and I are preparing as if things are NOT getting better anytime soon...so this has me searching for WAYS TO SAVE AND FIND GREAT DEALS...READING TO LANDON...he's baby 3 and seems to get overlooked in the teach my child to read category...finishing the 3 BOOKS THAT I HAVE STARTED AWHILE AGO...cleaning out the garage...cleaning out the children's closets...Mr C's new flexible work schedule which allows him to be home for dinner E V E R Y N I G H T which also means no "easy mom meals" anymore...not to mention his new softball schedule that has us at 2 different fields twice a week and his basketball on Wednesdays...GOTTA LOVE AN ACTIVE MAN...BLOGGING...THIS LIST ALSO INCLUDES... LAUNDRY DAILY...DISHES...3 CHILDREN...5 PETS...AND AN OVER-ACHIEVING MOTHER that makes the mistake of likening herself the the mighty MARTHA STEWART.....THAT'S ME...I have decided half-way through this list...That for my next birthday in JULY...or perhaps for CHRISTMAS...I would like a WIFE...just for a little extra help carpooling or chores around the house...that's all...nothing kinky...I'm not into that...just somebody to pick up any slack.
