Since becoming a stay at home mom / part time piano teacher, I've found that my Wednesdays and Thursdays are more like my weekend. I kick back and relax on those 2 days as much as possible (a.k.a. just focus on household tasks such as laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning) and it's a good thing because I've found I have to save up energy for the crazy weekend of remodeling that we always seem to have.
Today my mom (whose birthday is just 2 days away!!!) is coming to visit us to help me with my giant weekend to do list. How generous of her to come work on her birthday weekend, huh? I love her!
Here's the list...we're overly optimistic as usual that we'll get all this done in 2-2 1/2 days (meanwhile making sure our almost one year old Levi doesn't get into trouble):
seal granite countertops
- polyurethane remaining few kitchen cabinets
- hem patio door curtains (from IKEA)
plant flowers around front porch
mulch flower beds
- continue to water grass seed and pray that it grows
- paint Craigslist picnic table and benches red with white geometric accent on top (can't wait to show this off!)
- install 2 new exterior light fixtures
- recoat front door with red paint
paint trim around laundry room exterior door
spray paint bar stools
- deep clean entire house (in preparation for appraisal)
- pack up anything that we don't want out during showings
- rearrange furniture again (is anyone else constantly shopping their house and rearranging things like me?? i know The Nester always is and that's why I LOVE her blog!)
There's more but I can't seem to find my handwritten list at the moment. ...as usual...
