Ok, so it was a good plan

The to-do list, that is. It was a good plan, just maybe not one that's working well for me! Guess how much of my list I got done yesterday:

...

If you guessed a big fat nothing, you're pretty close! I got a few decorations off the tree, then noticed some of the ornament boxes had been pitched - so I stopped. Today I have to get to Loblaws for a bin to safely store the remaining glass ornaments.

I did get done one big thing that wasn't on my list: I knit this awesome little fringed poncho for my three year old, out of something called boa yarn. Yup, it looks just like it sounds. So picture a poncho made from a tri-colour, pink feather boa, and you've got what I made. I'll try to snap a pic later. I'm quite proud of it. I won't write how late I stayed up doing it - but I was nonetheless up at 5 with the kids this morning. Probably because I hadn't yet entered a deep sleep cycle or something. I'm going to regret it by 7 pm tonight, I know it!

Needless to say, I need to get my butt in gear today. We're having brunch with my parents, and after that, I'm doing my list. I'd love to get it all done because I'm really hoping I can paint next weekend.

I also want to get in touch with the gal next door, and work out some arrangement for her to help us out. Please all keep your fingers crossed that she'll agree, or we're back to square one!
