Time Keeps on Slippin' slippin'

So now that both kids are in school, what do I do with my days? Enquiring minds want to know-- I want to know! I've still got piles of laundry, the kitchen was a mess for most of last week, the back needs weeding and the closets silently await my attention. The kids' first 6-week reports came out on Friday so that tells you how long I've had to get to all my projects.

Here's some of what I have done: researched and bought a piano off of Craigslist, weeded the back, painted the front room- living room- back stairs and most of upstairs hall, signed on as VP of Programs for the PTA, found Katie a piano teacher, escorted Anna to soccer practices (canceled and non), 14 hours of Book Fair, literacy volunteer Monday mornings in kindergarten, trimmed and weeded in front, RedRibbonWeek calls to DEA /flyers created/bulletin board designed, school shopping for girls since they will continue to grow, re-installed robe hook in master bathroom, day of loafing at First Mondays Trade Days in Canton, hunted down Halloween costumes for all four of us, the usual Young Women activities and Sunday lessons, trimmed holly and weeded in back, sweated out the State Fair of Texas on Columbus Day, pulled out bloomless lavender and a few other sorry specimens from front beds, lots of Googling.

Did some other things, too.

Tomorrow I'm tackling the family room with a friend and her 18 foot ladder.
