1. CLEANING!!!!! I need to clean the house. Those same in-laws will be bring my baby back next weekend sometime - not sure when - and they'll be staying here for Easter. A's "conversion" into the Catholic Church is next Saturday, and they'll be here for that. So...I NEED TO CLEAN!!!!! I just don't want to. Too much to do, not enough time. I *WOULD HAVE* had enough time if I hadn't been surfing the web, watching TV, playing on my DS, reading, or playing free MMORPG on the web. *sigh* My sister has Spring Break next week, too. Maybe she can help me out some. And if she's reading this, I don't mean the major cleaning. Just washing, cleaning out the closets and dressers, weeding out toys, and helping me out with my website (taking pics, typing/writing up descriptions, uploading the pics, making new stuff...). And on that note...
2. MY WEBSITE!!!!! It SERIOUSLY needs to be updated. Well, actually, I need to install the new shopping cart! I've had it for a few months at least, and I haven't installed it yet. Just been playing around with it, trying to get used to it. I was thinking about changing my host to ShopPro, or whatever that is, but I'm not sure that I'll be able to keep the same URL that I have now. I have a couple of hundred business cards that have this URL. So I'm not sure that I'm willing to give that up. Yet. Anyway, I need to update the site, create new items, list them, photograph them, and all that good stuff. But it takes A LOT of time. Maybe my sister can take some stuff home with her to photograph at her house. Or bring her camera and we can get all the picture stuff done in about half the time! Yay! I like that idea. Then I'll be able to use the car magnets I ordered, and if she wants the other one she can have it. I just don't want to put the magnets on until the website's working.
3. FINISH THE 1st PHASE OF MY STUDIO SET-UP!!!!! Yep! That's right! I've got my own "studio". It's really one of the guest rooms, but I need my own space for all my crafts. A's going bananas with all my ribbon, fabric, yarn, and bath stuff all over the house. And to tell you the truth, I'm going bonkers every time I have to look in the entire house for what I need. Hopefully R won't take off with my supplies, but she usually does. That's okay. I like for her to try. The studio will have one of our old TVs in there, plus a VCR. Yeah, I know: ancient times. *lol* But we can always bring the upstairs DVD player to the studio if she wants to watch a DVD. And I think that the TV will need to be replaced soon, if it's the one that I think the color is all out of whack. I'll worry about that when the time comes. I had started to set it up, sometime in January. But then we all started getting sick, so that got put on hold. It's now March, and it looks like we're all starting to feel better. Yay! Stupid allergies...
4. CLEAN OUT MY TRUCK!!!!! Welcome to the world of Motherhood. *lol* R and I practically LIVE in my truck. And I get ticked at A when he takes EVERYTHING out!!!!! I do! Ask him! But it's getting impossible for R to get in and out of the darn thing, because a lot of her toys and stuff are in there: on the seats and on the floor. Plus our jackets/coats. And pillows. And artwork. And I have no idea what else is in there. So it all needs to be cleaned out and sorted.
5. WASH MY TRUCK!!!!! It WAS clean. Then it rained. *sigh* I had planned on putting a TinkerBell decal on it that one of my brothers gave me, but never got around to it. Always ran out of time or forgot. Then it rained, my windows got dirty, and now I can't put the decal on until it's washed again.
6. LAY OUT PEBBLE PATH!!!!! My mom had done something with pea pebbles to an area in front of her house, and I had mentioned to my sister that I wanted to do something like that to the sides of my driveway so that people wouldn't be stepping into wet grass when it rained. She apparently told my mom, and the next thing I knew my mom was me the stuff to do that. Yay! That was in October. It's now March. Hmm...Way overdue, don't you think? *lol* I better let my mom know. She said she'd help.
And last, but certainly not least...THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL!!!!!...
7. SPEND TIME WITH MY DAUGHTER!!!!! Did you all think I forgot that? Nope! Not sure what we'll do in the little amount of time we'll have together before she leaves, but I know I want to take her to the movies to see "Horton Hears a Who". Maybe I'll take her to the Japanese Tea Garden. I've always wanted to go there. I thought about taking her to the zoo, but I *KNOW* it's going to be packed. Not to worry, though. I'll come up with something. I have a bunch of art stuff that I printed off the Nick, Jr. website for us to do. And I know she'll help for a bit with the pea pebbles and bath items production. And if I wash the truck at home, she'll help with that. She LOVES to wash vehicles.

This summer is going to be R's last summer at her current school. It's getting too expensive to keep her there. And it's a somewhat long drive. She'll be starting at a Catholic school close to home, at our church. I hate to move her, but she'd have been moved anyway in a few years. Her current school only goes through 3rd grade. It's a sad thing, since she's been there since she was about 9 mths. old. But the drive...I'm ALWAYS out there, by her school, and it's just too much for me now. Not complaining about it. Just stating a fact.
Well, I must end this here. I know there were other things I wanted to blog about. But I can't remember what they were, and I have to go pick up the Princess from school. Then I've got to start washing towels when we get back. *sigh* I hate washing towels.

Well, let's see...
Got the kitchen cleaned up. Went through my closet, but I gotta finish that up. Went through daughter's toys and clothes - even her baby ones! Washed and cleaned out my truck, but need to wash it again because the car wash didn't even complete the $8 cycle I paid for. Cleaned out a REALLY messy area of my room. Chunked a bunch of stuff, and gave a bunch of stuff to Goodwill. Made daughter's St. Patrick's Day dress. Went shopping for clothes for ME. Bought a new chair for ME because my current one BROKE some more. Vacuumed. Mopped and swept the kitchen. Sister cleaned big spots on carpet with SpotBot (we love this thing!). Cleaned out old baking and casserole dishes and gave them away to Goodwill and chunked some. Gave away and/or chunked souvenir cups and other stuff.
Don't worry, though. Lots more to do, just don't have room for anymore trash! The cleaning isn't finished yet. This house is gonna look GREAT when it's all done!
