Things Done and Marked Off THE LIST

I keep a never-ending to do list in my mind. I try to put as much of it as possible on paper, but that would be one more thing to do . . . and doesn't usually happen except on the weekends. But, here is what I've done since Friday. WARNING: Not a whole lot of exciting things, but some good things.

1. Friday morning I got most of the way to Nana's and realized I didn't have my cell phone. No big deal since Friday's are a half day at work during the summer. EXCEPT, we were due to close on refinancing our house. So, in the spirit of not wanting to miss the person doing the closing if they called, I trucked back to the house, got my phone, and then decided to make a second stop at the gas station. The first was for gas. The second was because I needed some caffeine right away.

2. Worked. Ok, not exciting, but I did it.

3. Trucked BACK to Nana's. Said good bye to his great grandmother since she's been visiting with Nana all week.

4. Went back home, fed Wyatt, closed on the house.

5. Went to Martinsville and saw Trina's new house. It's great! Lots of space and a really awesome floor plan.

6. Went to Rural King to get two 6 volt batteries for the hubby. Don't ask.

7. Went BACK to Nana's to deliver the batteries to hubby.

8. Went BACK to Martinsville to pick up dinner.

9. Put the child to bed and fell into bed absolutely exhausted.

10. Saturday, I got up, did a load of laundry, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher. Did a few other random chores, started the vacuum robot and headed out to meet hubby at a friend's house for lunch. This friend lost his wife last year to cancer. He has a new girlfriend and it was my chance to meet her. It was also our friend's chance to see Wyatt for the first time.

11. Called my mom.

12. Came home and did more random chores, including washing the sheets and taking care of the child.

13. Made a coconut cheesecake, baked beans and deviled eggs for Sunday after running into town to the store.

14. Cleaned and put several bags of green peppers in the freezer.

15. Sunday I did some more chores, including unloading and reloading the dishwasher and and starting a load of laundry.

16. Went to Nana's for an awesome cookout. Besides what I brought, there were fresh green beans, ribs, deer meat, brats, mashed potatoes, blackberry cobbler and squash pie.

17. While at Nana's, got the chance to help with the garden. We picked corn, green beans and tomatoes.

18. Went BACK to Martinsville for baby supplies for Nana.

19. Came home and did more chores. That included the whole week's worth of clean laundry that needed to be folded or hung up and put away.

20. Packed Wyatt's bag for Nana's house today.

Ok, so I WASN'T Back

Time flies . . . we went to the Indianapolis Zoo a few weeks ago. I'm going to post the pictures here. It was a beautiful day and we all had a lot of fun.

The new Waters building was a bit disappointing . . . and the petting zoo is gone, but overall it was a great day.
