To Do Lists

Starting today I am on vacation for the next week. I was hoping we’d be able to take a quick family trip somewhere but it is not in the cards. So instead I plan on working on the gazillion and one things that I need to get done around the house and elsewhere.

I need several lists probably, broken down by catagory like PTO or house. Here are just some of the things I hope to get accomplished by the Monday after Thanksgiving. Keep in mind Wednesday will be “getting ready for Thanksgiving” madness and Thursday is the Event of course.

  • get dog nails trimmed
  • make copies of Winter Grams for PTO, assemble and ready for distribution the Monday after Thanksgiving
  • meet with Otis Spunkmeyer rep (today at 1pm at Starbucks) to discuss spring fundraiser
  • clean kitchen before we die of salmonella or some horrible type disease
  • rent carpet cleaning machine for the tiny bit of carpet left in the house
  • clean carpet
  • put up the new smoke alarms I bought 
  • help Dad get iTunes set up and show him how to synch iPhone, apps, etc
  • figure out why voicemail is taking so long to show up & why it keeps asking for password when I don’t have one
  • take photos and post stuff on eBay
  • inventory, take photos and post stuff on Etsy
  • sew custom order of 3 puzzle balls by the end of next week
  • write down stuff to be donated (for tax purposes) & drop off
  • pick up thyroid prescription
  • make appointment for annual well woman exam
  • schedule dentist appointment
  • complete annual enrollment in health benefits
  • finish demo in Charlie’s bathroom
  • clean up the entire house
  • send photos and update letter to adoption agency
  • preschedule some blog posts and finish some drafts
This is just a small sampling of what I would like to accomplish this next week. I know it won’t all happen. I plan on prioritizing my lists plus delegating some of it to Hubby and Charlie. I do have another week off starting Dec. 4th so I will keep working on my lists then too.
I’m already exhausted!

  1. OMG your list is exhausting. I kind of like my one day off – one smaller list thing. A whole week would kill me. Or cause me to not get out of bed after day 2, heh.

    • Remember I have next week and the week of Dec 4th to get stuff done. Some of these are things that can be done at any old time. I just need to have it written down somewhere or I’ll forget about it. And not everything is on the list either.
