Incredibly Long Post of To-Do's


I’ve had a few posts outlining the whole 1st grade musical hullaballoo, but my camera battery decided it didn’t want to cooperate. I don’t want to post those without pictures because they will help illustrate the how-to process.  I’ve been waiting for the replacement but it seems as though the mail system has conspired with the battery gods to keep me waiting on picture downloads.  Until it arrives, I’ll be sans photos.  I had planned on writing a few things so I could keep to posting at least once a week but I’ve been enjoying a hiatus during my spring break.  It’s been wonderful!  I’ve loved being able to catch up on housework, organization and general home upkeep.  Next up on the to-do list is to come up with a general “To Do” list for the house.  Since there are so many things that we’d like to do, it’s a little overwhelming.  My mother-in-law had some fantastic advice of going one room at a time.  We have 10 rooms on the main floor (including 2 bathrooms) and every one of them needs some attention.  Some rooms need more than other L and there is a basement with 5 rooms (including 1 bathroom down there).  Unfortunately every room in the basement needs attention.  Fortunately the basement is not even on the list right now, it’s so far down.
