The Power of Lists

 Print

I have been cleaning up and straightening out my craft room. No, Helen, it is not yet fully painted. I keep putting it off and now I'm not so sure about this lovely sky blue I chose. Sigh. This is what happens to me when I procrastinate. So those of you who have been keeping up with the blog know that, on occasion, I need lists to keep me in line. We have a fairly quiet weekend on the homefront so I'm hoping to get some things done.

Friday Night

1. Help Scott finish his man room - add the details, move the model plane back in, etc. He needs this space and I need him to have it set up and be happy in it. Keeps him out of mine - ha!
2. Move the hutch from the craft room over to mom's for my desk at the office. Or at least out into the hall so it is out of the craft room. See? I have priorities and they have nothing to do with home decorating. Couldn't care less if it sits in the hall for decades, just NOT IN MY CRAFT ROOM.
3. Work on my Inspired goodie bag SWAP project. Can't wait to make this for my goodie bag partner.

Saturday

1. Go to a Girl Scout leader meeting at 7:30am tomorrow. Yes. Saturday morning. 7:30am.
2. Check in at the office since Mom is out with back surgery for a few days. I'm a good hold-down-the-fort daughter/worker.
3. Scott has to take Isabella to ice skating practice since I will be busy with numbers 1 and 2.
4. Laundry. The true bane of my existence.
5. Scott has to get our printers set up. We moved them into the closet in my craft room on the fabulous shelves he built. He has the cabling and the electrical run but the new print server (whatever that really means other than black shiny box with little holes for cords) is not working yet. I know he can fix it because he is my IT guru.
6. Work on my Inspired Chanukah SWAP.
7. Move the old table from my mom's into my craft room for workspace with friends and Isabella.

Sunday

1. Religious school for Isabella on Sunday morning.
2. Play in the craft room with my friend Kim. We're going to start Jessica Sprague's Stories in Hand class. Yay!
3. Design my grungeboard tags for my All Things Tim SWAP after my friend Kim leaves.
4. Mail out a RAK to a new friend.
   

Not Getting Done This Weekend but still on the list:

1. Finish a painting.
2. Work on my Thanksgiving gratitude project for our family get-together.
3. Finish the grungeboard tags for the All Things Tim SWAP - deadline is Thanksgiving in my head.
4. Paint the craft room.

Seriously? I've got to be kidding. No, I'm not. I'm determined and I CAN DO IT. Well, most of it. Maybe not paint the walls of my craft room. Yuck. That's why its the last thing on the list. I just can't bear to do it.

P.S. I typed this list and then I moved it all around in order of importance and being semi-realistic for time. I LOVE LISTS.

P.P.S. Thank you to all my friends who left comments and emailed me about our adoption situation. We don't know what we're going to do. We DO know that I cannot handle the wondering and waiting, which means foster care is not an option for us. It is not healthy for me emotionally and sadly, I am just not quite as strong in that department as I thought I was. Its good to learn things about yourself, even if you have to learn them the hard way. We still want another child but we're going to have to approach this differently and hope for the best. Again, THANK YOU to all my friends and loved ones. I love you too.
