My Goals

I have twenty-five minutes until the kids get home.  As I finish things I will add them to this post in italics.

Here's my To Do list, which I hope will soon become my TaDa list:

1. 5 minutes in the living room - TA DA!
2. 5 minutes clearing off the table in the dining room - TA DA!  (though I had to keep adding minutes on to get it all done)
3. Put away all the stuff gathered while cleaning up the above two rooms - TA DA!

And this is when the kids came home.  Now I'm sitting with them at the newly cleaned off dining room table having already "encouraged" them to bring me all their papers, put their lunch boxes in the kitchen (which I haven't tackled yet), attempting to do some of my "homework" while they do their homework.  When they finish I will tackle the rest of this list.  After I help both boys make their raingutter regata for their first Cub Scout meeting tomorrow night.  Whatever that is.

4.  Put away the veggies I just got from the CSA (and don't let them just stay out and rot like I did the last two weeks)

5. Chop up celery, onions, and carrots to put in with the chicken carcass and begin making chicken stock

Okay, I'm going to try to keep the list short so I might actually finish it.  I have LOTS more I need to do, but for the next 25 minutes, this is plenty!
