Tuesday to do...

Oh wait!  It's Wednesday?  Crud!

Yup, that's kind of the way things are going around here.

Here's my to do list for today.  Writing it out and posting it here serves two purposes.  One, it allows to delay actually doing any of the stuff I need to do but don't, in any way, want to do; and two, it lets me organize my thoughts and perhaps holds me accountable.  There's a third purpose as well, what do you know, distract, distract, distract.  :)  Pretty, shiny, distracting things are very important right now.

What's on your list this week?

1. make grocery list for Thursday's trip to the grocery store two grocery stores, because I am an idiot, I am cheap where I can be, necessitating a trip to Whole Paycheck for the milk we drink and eggs that don't make me twitchy to buy (I really like to buy free range, no cage, humanely raised eggs, yes, I realize I'm probably being ripped off, but it's a compulsion), plus a trip to Walmart for everything else, which means...
2. finish meal plan for this weekend and beyond
3. buy an Elf on the Shelf, because Julianna loves this idea.  I actually had one last year and took it back thinking my kids were really beyond it, but you know what?   Julianna likes it, it holds onto childhood a bit? This year that's trumping everything and we'll get one.
4. Make challah?  Buy challah?  Whatever, just do it!
5. Clean my house.  A few weeks ago there was a Living Social deal to have your house cleaned for $55.  Being extremely selfish, lazy, altruistic, I bought the deal to help my friend Heather try to get her's free me get the house ready before Rebekah's Hanukkah party this weekend, (you try running a home daycare and keeping your house clean, I dare you).  Unfortunately, I'm embarrassed to tell you  it will honestly take me hours and hours to get my house in shape for someone to be able to clean it.  (Amazon boxes are everywhere!  Do they really have to pack every.single.item in a separate box??)  
6. Wake Rebekah and make her help me straighten, declutter, gut the house.  Whose party is this anyway?
7. Make a pseudo-Hanukkah dinner.  Pseudo for two reasons:  one, the ignorant den leader scheduled a Webelos meeting on the first night of Hanukkah.  (Who is the den leader again?  Oh yeah, Mark.  hmph!)  two, I'm making a humongous Hanukkah dinner Saturday night for 16 or more people.  That's enough Hanukkah dinner in my opinion, though definitely not in my family's opinion, but guess who's cooking so therefore gets to decide?  Yup.  Me.  :)
8. Take care of lots of adorable little people all day long.
9. Freak out about everything I need to do, thus enabling me to delay, delay, delay actually getting anything done.  It's a specialty of mine.  Yes, I know you're jealous.
10. Hoover on the internet and endlessly order things we one, don't need, and two, can't really afford, because look!  they're bright! and shiny! and distracting!  Win! Win! Win!

Off to work!  (yeah right)
