Big plans

There are so many things I'm looking forward to doing once Xavier starts school 5 days a week (some days until 2!) on Monday.


1. Work without the nagging feeling "My child is at a babysitters, I need to get him out of her hair".


2. Paint the trim in my living room and dining room.


3. Start to peel off the wallpaper the jackassed people who lived here before put directly on the sheetrock. That should be a blast.


4. Run the trails by the river. I really miss that.


5. Frog the razor cami back to my mistake and then finish that bitch.


6. Paint Xan's room. Not really excited about that.
7. Take all of the crap out of the boys' closets. Clothes that don't fit, toys they don't play with/don't know they have....


8. Clean out the baby stuff from the garage. That may take a week.


9. Consign said baby stuff. Not looking forward to that.


10. Take embroidery classes.


11. Read a damned book.


12. Clean out the linen closet. And the laundry room.


13. Watch anything I want on tv.


14. Volunteer at school.


15. Enjoy the silence instead of fearing it.


16. NOT putting somebody in time out, breaking up fights, picking up somebody else's mess, listening to CRYING.


17. Sitting down for at least 10 minutes without getting up.


18. Take tennis lessons.


19. Go to the mall.


20. SIt around and feel sad about my kids being gone.

Yeah, I need to do at least half those things too!

You're a lot more motivated than me! But my kid will still be home this year.
