Another "to do" down


I will be starting my 4th week of vacation.

I can't believe I've been out of the office for 3 weeks -- well I popped in a few times -- but really off now for 3 weeks. Seems crazy.

All the things I thought I'd do while off....well haven't really been done. I did straighten my closet, but I was really supposed to "clean it" out. It sucks. Have I been that lazy?

One of the things I wanted to dip my time into is scrapbooking. Well, today was the day.

I got up at an okay hour ... got Sofia ready for a birthday party. I helped her make the card, which inspired me to start. I got her off at 2pm and then I started fiddling. The first page I made was one of Lilia at the ocean. It was spring 2007, so she was nearly 2 years old. She had a ladybug on her hand. She was fascinated.

I made a total of 5 pages. I'll share one here and then off to bed.

Tomorrow will be filled with a day at Dash Point with the kids and No Doubt in the evening. It should be good!

What next?

So I'm supposed to be off for the next 3 weeks or so. But, day 1 at home, and I don't really know what to do with myself.

I've finished laundry. I've unpacked from the lake. What's next. I had hoped to be out and about during my time off, but JH's summer school combined with Sofia's soccer is keeping me somewhat homebound.

There are things I can do .... weed through closets. Clean my closet. {scary} Organize paperwork. Scrapbook. Clean, clean and clean. Or do some WEA work. I kind of miss work already. I think I miss the chattin' with B and the routine. A week of staying up until wee hours and sleeping in until 10am has got my schedule in a funk. I've felt hungover the last few days with insomnia. So, work and routine is a good thing.

So I'm going to go to bed shortly. So I can wake up pleasantly. I want to fit exercise into my routine. I need to make some more definite "to do" lists. September will be here in no time. Then the cycle begins, again.
