Spring Break!

It figures it would take Spring Break to get me blogging on here again.  The kids are out of school, that includes my homeschooled girls. So no curriculum planning this week. Wahoo! However I do have some papers to get graded before the end of the week.

Since I have a somewhat lighter load this week I am running down my list of spring cleaning and yard projects that I normally don't have time to get done. It's kept me busy....physically so I am getting my daily exercise in... and mentally as well so I am not stressing about some things we have going on in our lives at the moment.

Some of the things I have gotten done this week:

starting my garden, completed my second raised bed, tilled both garden beds
sprayed for bugs around our house
sprayed for weeds around the house
cleaned out the hot tub
bathed the dog
built a shoe rack for our coat closet
completely emptied and cleaned our fish tank (first time in 2 years)
got rid of a lot of clutter around the house
fixed 4 broken sinks in the house by myself
steam cleaned our carpet on the stairs

Still on my list to do this week:

start the seeds for the garden
refinish our kitchen table
clean and paint our kitchen chairs
paint the kids' bathroom
touch up paint in other rooms
repaint baseboards and molding in other parts of the house

That's a lot of things to do.  I don't know. Do you think I will get them all done?
