List for Friday:
drive kids to school done
tree undecoratingdone
pack for work (beading kit from Christmas )done, and I started my beaded hummingbird
work 3p-11pdone

List for Saturday:

Well, while messing in the kitchen right before I had to get ready for work, I tripped over the stool I was using, and fell HARD on the tile...

I'm not making a list cause I'm so sore right now
If I feel like this tomorrow it is heating pads, ibuprofen, and bath before work, no cleaning

Update: Still sore today, so going to be a baby and not listing... Just keeping quiet, planning swap stuff and scrappy stuff.
I do have to work 3p-11p, so that is enough for today

Everyone deserves a day of rest. Get better!

I did my exercise
Uploaded pictures from the camera to the computer
Filled out my swap calender
Completed my Tree of Life PP, and got my squares figured out
Watched my movie from Netflix

Bit of an easy day today, DH is out for game night, so I get an easy day too.

This weekend, DH and I are supposed to de-decorate, but he says he might not feel like it, so it may be on the agenda for me next week.

Oh, and watch the Seahawks/Dallas playoff game and eat pizza!

we have so much shred stuff we opted to burn it. That's DH's job for tomorrow now that the grass is wet again. I won't let him do it unless the ground is wet.

That would be an option but we live in town.. I'd like to do that better.. hmmm, may have to talk to DH about that... I'd like that option a lot better...

Okay, I really need to get off of here and get my day started.. DS10 has to leave for a scrimmage game in an hour..and I'm not even ready.. and he isn't up.. neither are the other kids..
Although DH, DS6 and SS15 are already at a basketball tournament for SS15.. No updates from DH yet.. so that can be good or bad..

Whew, I haven't slept this late in ages. Didn't get out of bed until 10 this morning and what have done since then? Feed the kids and get on the DIS. Okay, I've got all my hosting swaps updated so now I'm going to leave the computer and work on my chores. THAN I can shower and do some swapping things.

Goals for tomorrow
finish up laundry Done
vacuum the steps (ick) Done, even used a toothbrush to get the corners
put tub toys away Done
scrub bathroom floor Done
sketch out pet swap if okay with it, start on it Well all my stuff is out on my table, didn't get a chance to sketch yet
I can't believe I'm gonna say this, clean my oven. What have you girls done to me? Okay, I passed on this one


DH decide to fix the toilet today and that took most of the day. We also went shopping for a new sink, I hate my sink. But the one I want is way too much (apron front) and what Lowes and HomeDepot carry didn't wow me. So we went to Hobby Lobby and $200 later I am all set for swapping!! THE WHOLE YEAR! HL had some of the Sizzix dies clearanced so I got a few, I'll list in the other thread. Also had some paper stacks that I have to go through so there could be some that end up in the Pizza Box. Some of the $$ was for models for the boys. But those go back as my oldest just couldn't see past the great drawings on the front. Once he opened one up and saw the work involved, he got really sad. Anyway, long story short, I am now stuck with a sink I hate for another few months. But that's okay. I'm gonna put some of my swapped items on the window sill and my sink will look so much better.

Tomorrow, just going to do light housecleaning and put away my bought finds.

I assembled my second scrap paper storage rack tonight. This one went together easier because I didn't follow the directions! My next step(hopefully, tomorrow night) is to organize my cardstock by color and the patterned paper by theme, and actually put the paper on the shelves of the racks. They will be going in the basement so it doesn't take up so much room elsewhere.

Now that I'm in an assembly mood, I might put the shelves in my media storage cabinet tonight or tomorrow night. I'll be organizing my DVD's and CD's, etc by themes......Disney, drama, comedy....so that they can be watched based on the mood of the moment!

This weekend, I made a lot of progress, partly because I had to get ready for company tonight.
*The scrap paper racks are all assembled, the cardstock and patterned paper organized, and stacked on the racks in the basement.
*The shelves are installed in my media cabinet and the DVD's are in it. I will need to unpack the rest of my CD's and a handful of videos when I get to the guest bedroom (where they're stored in the closet). They haven't been unpacked since this house was built three years ago!!
*The family room is organized and clean. I'm done with this room.
*The dining room, where I had too many scrap supplies, is clean and free of all scrap supplies and tools except for two tote bags that are in a corner where they can't be seen. I'm done with this room, too.
*I worked on my MNSSHP swap and will finish that up in the next two evenings, hopefully.
*Worked on designs and organized supplies for the rest of my early winter swaps. I have a plastic box for each of the upcoming swaps where I put paper and supplies for each. Made a list of supplies I need to buy in addition to what I have.
*It was a productive weekend!
*Now, I'm watching Desperate Housewives and The Apprentice on West Coast network stations and relaxing with a cup of high octane (too much caffeine)cinnamon spice tea.
