Here we go!

I have no creative words right now, just lists. Done and not done.

• DONE: Went to doctor last week and decided to put the medicine reduction on "hold". This is not a bad thing! I went to a half dose successfully (we think) and have seen some positive effects, the biggest one being my increased energy.
• DONE: Folded (take a deep breath) fourteen loads of laundry that have piled up in the last three weeks. Don't misunderstand...they were clean, we were just stepping over them as they lay in the laundry room floor. My kids were instrumental in this task, and they never complained (I love them).
• NOT DONE: Dining room table, a.k.a. school table, is not clear of papers, McDonalds cups, work receipts, and the stack of books I read or meant to read this summer. SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW, so this must be completed today!
• DONE: Took two hour nap today to recover from all the late night Olympics. Thankfully all my favorite sports are over, and my sleeplessness was not in vain. Nastia and Shawn rocked!
• NOT DONE: All preparations for the little class I will teach at the kids tutorial. The goal was to have lesson plans prepped through Christmas so that I wouldn't get stressed out along the way. I've got about five weeks planned which now has to be (cringe) good enough (one of the most difficult phrases for me to apply to myself).
• DONE: Printed, color coded, laminated, and posted chore charts, room responsibilities, bathroom checklists, hamster care reminder, and my own daily reminders. Very fun to prepare, unsure of execution.
• NOT DONE: Random acts of kindness for my husband who has seen "the beast" poke it's little head out during the medicine changes.
  
• DONE: School prep. I'm totally ready and eager to get back in the swing of things. There's always a little rush right before we start. Check back in about three weeks and you may hear a different story!

So, all in all, this is alright. I'll go clean my table off, set aside the tutorial prep notes, and kiss my husband right on the lips. Not sure why it's so cleansing to float my to do lists out on the web, but it is. 'Til next time!
