yep, looks a lot like my LONG list too! I had to stop adding things because I was afraid I wouldn't get them all done! ha!

thanks for inspiring my to do this, I needed it! =)

Okay - so I got tired just READING your list :)

Just remember your original post - you may not get it all done, but anything you cross off your list will feel like an accomplishment...

and I have a feeling that you will get a lot of it done!!!

I'm headed off to make my to-do list...

Jessie said...

Well, when you put it like that... I am sure I could make a similar one but I am too intimidated now.

Sara said...

Wow. I'm overwhelmed for you! Good luck! I'm sure you can do it. Let me know if you need someone to watch your kids for a while! Can't wait to see all your finished projects!

Rachel said...

One thing at a time...it will get done! Thankfully some of those things you can accomplish on your own without Rex- makes the list much more feasible. I can't wait to see it when it's all done!

Brooke said...

Wow! Good luck with all that. When, you're done (and since you'll be "on a roll") our tub needs to be regrouted and recaulked. :)

So, my procrastination project is to list stuff on ebay. I have a huge pile of stuff that I need to sell (clothes, shoes, toys, etc), but HATE listing stuff on ebay. I have been putting it off, but REALLY want that pile gone!

Hi Shawna! I'm glad to see that others have lists just as long as mine, makes me feel like I'm not all that crazy for wanting to get so much done! It feels so good to cross the task off when it's done...sometimes I wonder if that's why I make lists in the first place, or maybe because "pregnancy mind" means you can't remember a thing, at least with me! We can pray for each other as we try and get everything done!

Kim Ferguson said...

Man I should be energized to get my shorter list done...but instead I'm tired hahahaha...

Good luck.

ok girls, for the record:

I am NOT pregnant.

I do NOT have a nursling.

I am sleeping all night with out interruption.

I am NOT injured or sick.

I have 4 kids that all help, and can entertain themselves.

This list is not that bad when you consider all those things. With the exception of the tiling, it has all been very easy to accomplish, and could have been done in a much shorter time frame, all I had to do was focus!
