Things I need to do: August 10, 2007

Author: Elizabeth

You don’t mind a bullet post, right? I’ve got so much stuff to keep track of, the only way I can remember it all is if I post it here. After all, this is what I look at all day, so where else should my to-do list be? So here, in no particular order, are all the things I need to do, and should be doing, instead of sitting here writing a post about them:

  • I need to have the “Clean Sweep” people come and take every single thing out of every single room in my house.
  • I need to have a cleaning service come and scrub the entire house from top to bottom. Why? Because I can only get one room clean at a time, and not even a whole room, so the house never looks completely clean.
  • Then, I need to have the “Clean Sweep” people organize each of my rooms with cool storage bins and shelving systems, so that nothing ever has to touch the floor, ever.
  • I need to give away everything in boxes in the basement that isn’t a Christmas ornament, or a book. Or clothes for Kaitlyn to grow into. Or toys she might play with some day.
  • I need to get a pedicure. Desperately. Before I hurt my husband by brushing the soles of my feet against him while we sleep.
  • I need to get five people ready for a three-day trip to Toledo next weekend. Clothes, personal care items, stuff for the car, stuff for our trip to the Toledo Zoo. Like packing for BlogHer TIMES FIVE. Yippee.
  • I need to give a key to my next-door neighbor who will be coming in to feed the dog and the cat and let the dog out to go potty. Which is why I also need the cleaning people to come, because I can not let my neighbor see how filthy this house is.
  • I need to re-do everything about this blog. The author of the theme I want to use is getting it Wordpress 2.2 compatible, plus making some custom changes for me, and I can NOT wait. I can’t stand looking at the mess I have made of the sidebars any more.
  • I need everyone reading this post to go over to MomReviews once they are finished here.  I did a post today for the Parent Bloggers Network’s Friday Blog Blast, and the topic is all about how my family spends quality time together. Anyone can submit a post, and then PBN will draw one lucky winner to get a Nintendo Wii plus the new Boogie game, and three people will win the game! Rules are at MomReviews!

    I am a huge fan of “to do” lists. I love them. I’ll even go so far as to write really lame things on them just so I can have the satisfaction of crossing something off. :)

    Alison- So, it would be okay to write “go get a Starbucks coffee and maybe one of those huge brownies” on the list? Because I really need to do that, too :)

    I love to-do lists, I could write them all day. :D Now, if I could just complete some of the things on my list.

    I read someplace that you should add “Eat chocolate” to the top of your list, that way you’ll know that you’ll at least get ONE thing done. LOL
