{ The List & The Flowers }

Okay, the idea of making this to do list and posting it here was for me to actually have fun crossing things off from it as I accomplish all these great things. Now instead of crossing things off I'm actually updating it to add things. *sigh* And oh how I wish I'd thought of a few other things that needed to be done so I could now cross them off - like mowing the lawn (although my dh did that but don't think for a second it wouldn't have been just as fun to cross off the list) or posting yesterday's color challenge (which I did but hadn't thought to put it on my list before doing it). I did accomplish a little bit on my list yesterday though and I have a really good excuse for not crossing off more of them. So here's my updated list:

Clean out dresser drawers

Organize garage sale stuff in garage

Overnight Shari's package

Make CD & label for Julie

Work on kit for store at SBB

Create sample ad for alpha

Start featured product LOs due 25th

Post color swatch for coordinated freebies (week of May 15-21)

Have dinner at Carabba's (that's my fun 1 for Leeandra) ;)

So the reason I haven't finished as much as I had planned to from my list is that I ended up watching my niece and nephew last night while my sister and her husband had a church meeting. AND, as if hanging out with the kids while they drew pictures at the counter, or playing hide and seek with them (which I totally won), or having milk shakes together, or helping Corbin get the 'shuga bugs' out of his absolutely adorable little teeth before bed and then snuggling with him while I read 'just one more' story out of his book, or snuggling with Paigey while she reads to me and then falling asleep with her for awhile...as if all that weren't better than crossing things off my little to do list... TODAY I get this beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to my office from who else but my favoritest Pete and Beans (aka Paige and Corbin). I truly don't think I could ever thank God enough for the amazing family I get to be part of! :)

You go girl! Look at you marking things off... we are going to stay motivated to get these "to-do" lists shorter!!! :) I need to put one on my web site too! :) How's the garage sale organization going? Mine hasn't started. LOL I guess I should get on that huh? Maybe I will just ship it all to you and you can sell it for me. LOL Love your flowers... I would expect no less from your awesome family! Count your blessing sister!
