Priorities

I’ve been seriously lacking lately in many areas of my home. I HAVE to get this under control or the clutter is going to consume me! So, I figure if I put it “on paper” so to speak for everyone here to see maybe I’ll actually follow thru. Lord knows I go thru this list each night when I go to bed promising to get to it the next day….every night for the past two weeks. Maybe this will work.

• I have to file my taxes – not a hard task, I already completed all the paperwork I just have to review and file – It’s money just waiting for me to claim!
• I have to clip coupons and organize my coupon file – I need a mega coupon shopping trip here soon, we’re getting really low on staples and that’s dangerous, it means I’m more likely to pay over my “buy now” price and we’re trying really hard to be extra frugal with money right now.
• I have to clean out the girl’s room – once again we can’t walk in there without stepping on something and I swear something squished last night when I went in.
• I have to make my spring cleaning list and get to it! – My curtains need to be washed and re-pressed, my floors need to be shampooed, my couch has a year’s worth of junk crammed underneath the cushions.
• I have to buy weed killer and get the landscaper back here (yes, I know, shut up!) to clean up the weeds before our HOA yells at me again.
• I have to do a run to the dump to clear out the crap in our garage so I can organize for a yard sale (also, given that I drive a dark blue car it would be nice to park inside so we don’t get scorch marks when we try to put our seat belts on)
• I have to do a garage sale – that or just give up and take it all to goodwill and get it over with
• I have to search Craigslist for new dining room chairs ours are falling apart and at this point are not only an eye sore but a health hazard! I also need a new dryer, my laundry is taking over and I can’t keep taking it to my parents to wash – seriously, I’m 30 years old, not a college kid, I should not be taking bags of laundry to Mommies house. (Eww, did I just admit I’m 30? You should see the scowl on my face when I re-read that!)

Ok, my gosh that seems like a huge list. Breathe….I can do this….Damn, I need more coffee!
