I have a few things that I want to get accomplished over “spring break.” I decided this morning it will have to be two weeks because there is only one of me, and many, many things that need done.

1.  Clean all the windows, inside and out

2.  Clean my MIL’s stuff in the kitchen cupboards, organize it, and make more room for things like my crock pot

3.  Remove all the old harvest gold blinds, and either buy new blinds, or some curtains

4.  Get my room back into tip-top shape (it needs serious help!)

5.  Clean out, organize and paint the laundry room

6.  Get the wallpaper border off the girls’ walls

7.  Get the wall paper backing off the hallway/stairs and prime the walls there and in the entry

8.  Paint the girls room

9.  Make a plan for painting the entry/hallway/stairs (MIL needs to choose a color already!)

10.  Clean the bathroom ceiling, repair the hole, possibly replace the fan

11.  Clean or replace all the filters/vents

12.  Get all the leaves bagged and off with the trash man

13.  Weed the flower beds

14.  Clean the siding, repair & clean the gutters

15.  Trim shrubbery and remove some old stumps

The kids will be helping as much as they can, and a few of the jobs are for Lonnie as well. Plus, my friend Charlene has offered to come over and help out with painting or whatever else I need help with. I am not sure if I can get it all done, but I know I can’t do it while sitting here blogging – so let me snap on my yellow rubber gloves, and off I go!
