The evergrowing list of things I'm going to do when the kids go back to school

  1. Get back to doing water aerobics - 3 days a week.
  2. Work in my studio - set hours - from 12:00 to 3:00 Mondays and Wednesdays.
  3. Start submitting here and there to magazines again. It's been awhile.
  4. Paint my bedroom.
  5. Paint the main bathroom.
  6. Start Christmas shopping.
  7. Get back to meal planning. Summertime is not condusive to an organized meal plan and it's starting to drive me crazy.
  8. Seed the bald patches in the front yard.
  9. List about a gazillion things on ebay.
  10. Work every day with Gracie until she learns to heel correctly.
  11. Clean out the 'green room' - my basement storage area.

And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Lots of plans.

I love summer - love having the chance to do fun things with the kids, but I'm ready for some structure - a schedule - and a little more free time to accomplish stuff without all these bodies all over the place...

Looking forward to my quiet Monday mornings again.

School starts two weeks from tomorrow.

I LOVE September!

    As a kid, I looked so forward to summer break. But by the end of the break I was ready to get back to school and see my friends, etc. Now as a Mom, it's not much different is it??!! Can't wait for summer break. But excited for school to start again too!! Good luck on your lists!! I'm great at making them -- horrible at actually doing them!!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
