1. Put away a bunch of laundry. I ironed a few shirts.

2. Clean out my tack shed. Done

3. Weed the garden.

4. Work on cleaning kitchen w/hubby. (He decided to rearrange it.)Cleaned a small area.

It took me a LOT longer to clean out my tack shed than I had planned, so I didn't get as much done at home as I had planned. But, since it's done, tomorrow should be easier.

1. Work on cleaning out stalls.

2. Work on laundry.

3. Work on kitchen.

4. Go on bird walk.

5. Work in garden.

Today was semi-busy, should have gotten a lot more done.

Cut the grass
mulched some plants
weeded part of the rock garden
took pictures of a really cool moth - still need to figure out what kind it is
played at the neighbor's house with the kids
went to Sam's with the neighbor, and stopped for a margarita after - been a LONG time since I've done that.l

Tomorrow, taking the kids to the zoo, neighbor has this week off, so we're doing a bunch of stuff together.

Then, must finish 2 more castles.
can't find my @#$% safety pins that I JUST BOUGHT, so have to buy more to attach price tags to individual crafts.

This craft show is going to be the end of me...

I like this idea. Anything to help me stay on top of things. I did manage to get a lot of stuff done this weekend.

Tomorrow I babysit my grandson. Depending on his whims, I might get something done
Before grandson arrives,
1. let black mama hen and her chicks out.
2. water all animals
3 feed the dog
4. get eggs ready for sale (make sure all the eggs in the carton are clean ones)
After GS gets here
-Hang laundry
-vacuum house
-try to eat something
-start dinner

After he get picked up

Walk Blossom our pregnant goat, so she can browse
pull weeds
feed weeds to chickens, goats and rabbit
Feed grains to chickens and goats
sort copons and check sales
eat dinner
fall into bed dead tired

Checking how I did on my list. I didn't do too bad. Gand baby was cranky today and did not take his normal long nap.
I got the laundry hung up last night and took most of it down while GS was here. I got it folded and put away.

I did not get the vacuuming done and I did not get to match coupons to sales items.

I did get dinner made with SO's help.

I went for a nice drive with DD during which time we got to talk fairly un-interrupted and also talked to my sister on the phone for a while. Neither of which I get to do very often.

I also made a new jacket for my little Susie, the naked chicken. She keeps getting them caught in stuff and then it takes us a couple of days to find them. The ones she has are also pretty faded, so I made her nice new one this evening. Without a jacket she gets sunburned and also cold on chilly days.

Tomorrow, we are planning to go to the feed store and get assorted hay bales and feed.

I want to make some more venison broth and hopefully get it canned.

I want to at least start cleaning out the henhouse

Start gathering my birthing kit for Blossom

Call the vet to see which shots she needs.

Go to the bank and take out money to pay my car insurance and my cell phone bill.

Of course I will have to:

Let momma hen and her babies out
Water everyone
pull weeds and feed them to the assorted critters
Feed grains to everyone
Feed the dog
Walk Blossom
Make brunch
Make dinner
and do more laundry....
Lock everyone up for the night

1. organize coupons and write my shopping lists for Tuesday depending on the sales flyers. - Done

2. dishes - Done

3. finish one more portrait - Almost done, finishing this morning

4. go through my sewing patterns and pick a dress to make (I bought 200 sewing patterns on Ebay, from 1940-1970... I LOVE them), not making the dress yet though. - Done, but picked out five... it's amazing how much sizes have changed since the 1950's and 60's... on todays patterns I'm a size 8, back then I would have been a size 16... the size 16 has a 38 inch bust, 29 inch waist, and 40 inch hips.

5. make a pair of baby shoes, list them on kijiji to see if they will sell, hopefully I can sell them on a regular basis. - Not done... got lost in the patterns for almost an hour
6. put away all the laundry - Done

Here's my list for today:

1. Sign language class with Aeryn
2. Grocery shopping
3. Weed the garden
4. A load each of laundry and dishes

And that's it... I'm aiming low today cause it's still dreary and raining and what I feel like doing is curling up under a quilt and reading all afternoon with a pot of tea...

4. Go on bird walk. Didn't go, looks like rain. :/

5. Work in garden. Got sidetracked and worked on something else instead.

OK, I didn't do too bad w/my list today. I would have had it all done if it hadn't been for a couple of things. I found RBs for $25.00, so I went and got one to see if the horses like it, but B4 I could put it out, I had to fix my RB holder. The horses really messed it up, so I had to get some new bolts, nuts and washers B4 I could use it. And, that all took a bit of time.

ETA: I forgot to put down what I plan on doing tomorrow!

1. Put out the rest of the trash and the recyclables.

2. Work more on stalls.

3. Work more on kitchen.

4. Work more on laundry.

5. Work in garden.
