Shawn left today for Las Vegas & will be gone for the week at a hardware convention. I miss him already!!
I think I am up to the challenge, though. Here are some of my goals for the week:
--Get the dishes done every night. Shawn does this a lot of nights for me--so it might be hard for me to get into the routine. But I HATE waking up to a kitchen full of dirty dishes.
--Get lucy's lunch made every night! Shawn usually does this in the mornings, but I am not sure I'll have time so I'm going to try to do it the night before.
--Remember to take the trash out tomorrow night!
--Go on some sort of adventure with the kids. Going on an adventure always helps our moods, and I'm going to plan it in advance, because I know that we have the potential to be super cranky by Wednesday afternoon. We'll probably go on a nature hike or to the mall if the weather is not good. =)
--Get the lawn mowed. I know I can do this! And it really needs to be done!
--Ask for help when I need help. wow, i have a hard time with this one! so--i asked my mom to come over tomorrow afternoon to help before I REALLY need it. =) hopefully that's when I'll mow the lawn. =)
--Start reading a book I got for my birthday, watch a few episodes of my favorite TV show, and blog at least once. Because if I don't get any Val time, I probably won't make it until Saturday!
--Keep the house moderately clean and do at least a couple loads of laundry.
--Get Lucy to school on time every day! And pick her up on time! This might be the most challenging thing on my list. I'll have to get 3 kids ready in the morning instead of just 1, and without Shawn to help! It'll be fun to try to beat the clock. =)
So--yeah. That's all. Anything else that I accomplish will just be a bonus, I guess. =)
I know that Shawn is going to have a much worse time than we are--he says that Las Vegas is kind of a sad town if you're there alone--so I'm trying to have a good attitude about the whole thing & keep up with all the work while he's gone.

If anyone can do it, you can!! Glad you asked your mom to come down before you needed it!

If you're going to a mall, you should come to the Davenport Mall, it's the same distance AND depending on the day you come, there will probably be a farmers market somewhere in the area...
