- Organize the avalanche closet.
- Give away those pink shorts that I haven't worn since 1990.
- Don't let the bees win as I try to eat lunch on my deck.
- Take that leap and finally eat a plum.
- Venture into the attic to find tag sale items.
- Impress my snoozing kids with my art "knowledge" when we visit the museum.
- Speed up my sun lotion application time for each kid. 4 kids + hubby = lots of lotion.
- Read for pleasure again. Ooh, that sounds heavenly!
- Be brave and color my hair once and for all. The grays are mocking me.
- Stop running for cover when I see that neighbor who gives me the cold shoulder. At least, her son doesn't bully my guy anymore.
- Record "STOP THAT!" and play it on demand when kids get into mischief. It may be on continuously some days :)
- Graciously accept that at least one of my 4 bathing suits is somewhat flattering. I have to say this mantra as I look in the mirror, "It looks okay. It looks okay."
- Sneak in some school review work for my rascals before their brains go too mushy.
- Get my poetic hat back on. Hope it still fits.
- Find hubby a job, or join the circus. How would I look in those big clown shoes?

Hmm, what should I do this summer?
I wonder if I can think of 15 things that I would like to do this summer. Okay, I'll put down my forkfull of mashed potatoes to give it a shot.

I am about to pack myself in a suitcase with a bottle of hair color and come over for a hair color party. I have a box already and my roots need to be done. SEnd me your address.. :)
When you do that recording can you send me a copy too?
This post was great.
#4--a plum will seem unpleasant at first, as its peel is sour (slightly bitter) but paired with the extra sweet inside, it makes for a tangy fruit. YUM
#11--a guest pastor was jokingly telling us that one of his sons requires a daily whooping.... "Have I whooped you today yet? No? Well come over here anyway... I'm sure you did something that required disciplinary action." It was really funny.
#15--I still have you and your family in my prayers.
JM
I think you should record "Stop that" on a continuous loop and just play it non-stop all day. It will be easier.
And I'm hoping the job thing gets resolved soon.
Reading for pleasure is wonderful. I started again about 2 weeks ago. Heavenly...
I'm still waiting for the hair salon story. Did I miss it?
I've been considering recording, "Feet on the ground" and "No thank you" to play for T Rex.
And you certainly deserve to get in some fun reading, too!
Had to smile at you list and many are things I ought to do, It's lovely to arise on a morning with the sun shinning and think of all the things you're going to do........then go to the beach instead, Guess that's life. lol
Have a great week-end,
Yvonne.
8, 10, 14 are definites plus 15, which goes without saying. Have a brilliant weekend.
I would start with the easy one.
Eat a plum.
i could do a lot of those things this summer too...esp the recording of "stop that"!!!
What happened to #16? You know the one....naked buff men on a tropical island overlooking a sapphire sea, rubbing your feet and serving you drinks on white sands... :D
Loved the list but don't forget to have some fun this summer. You deserve it. You will find your poetic voice once again. I miss your quick fires my dear.
Get rid of the pink shorts for sure & find that poetic hat!!! :)
Thats an impressive list of to do's.. Just go with the flow and what gets done gets done. Good luck.. Carol and GJ xx
Hi Septembermom, this is quite a long list. I hope you accomplish most of the things on here. I hope you have a little summer fun as well. Take care :)
okay I want a copy of that Stop That recording! That my friend is an awesome idea
I would start with the closet, because it is completely within reach, doable, unnegotiable, and will give you the energy for EVERYthing else.
GOod luck!
I will love a copy of your "Stop that" recording. AND once you finish with your closet, feel free to start mine.
Dye that hair Missy! It will look great. I am sure you won't regret it!
I'm impressed! #11...hahaha! I need one of those for hubby. Plums are delicious, the ones with the red inside are sweeter
I have to second putting "Stop that!" on continuous loop. It's a safe bet that 99% of the time it is appropriate.
Re: hair coloring - I worked hard for each and every one of these white hairs and that is the color they are staying. But you can do what you want - maybe a bright pink or dark purple with stripes?
Aw it has been so long and you still crack me up! I need to do many of those too!
I love your list! And at least you have 4 bathing suits to choose from, I have not owned a bathing suit in over 10 years! I need to go buy one and love what ever is shown in the mirror.
Wait wait wait. You've never had a plum? KELLY GO BUY A PLUM!
And you still haven't colored your hair? tsk tsk
As for the sunscreen, have you seen the spray bottles now? I can get a kid done in under 30 seconds with them :)
Number 8; the best thing I could've done. Carve time out to read. Hoping you get that time, too. Number 11; after I chuckled, I immediately thought about how I could apply this to my household also. ;) Number 15; praying for you everyday. Keep your head up, I know an awesome blessing is on its way. :)
