31 Things – May

April wasn’t so hot with my 31 (or 30 for April) things list. So, I’m hitting the ground running in May. It’s only the 1st and I’m writing my list.

1. Box up items for yard sale with FAITH homeschool group
2. Clean windows inside and out.
3. Clean ceiling fans.
4. Till garden
5. Plant garden full of yummy veggie plants!
6. Get hooks hung in the boys room
7. Finish cleaning out the extra room downstairs. I did do some of this but its proven a 2 day job!
8. Plant flowers in the pots on the front porch.
9. Start gathering materials for history and science units this fall.
10. Help girls in their endeavor to raise money to buy supplies for the Ronald McDonald Family room at St. John’s Mercy hospital. (I have a really cool way for YOU all to help coming soon!)
11. Freezer cook for this summer.
12. Yard sale at least one weekend. (This is something I love and never take time to do anymore.)
13. Revamp plans for the outreach this summer. Some plans fell through.
14. Loose another 4 pounds. I met this goal for April!!!
15. Clean out under the beds.
16. Get rid of at least three bag of toys. You know to make room for the thirty we will get during the birthdays coming up!
17. Finish my study of Revelations.
18. Clean out owner’s manual file. Pretty sure we don’t need the owner’s manual to the mower that broke 3 summer’s ago.
19. Finalize vacation plans and start setting aside money. We changed plans and are going to Georgia and staying with family! Free lodging is much cheaper!
20. Plan a field trip for FAITH homeschool group.
21. Host a park playdate for the Mom’s of Littles support group (also part of FAITH).
22. Clean out basement closet.
23. Clean up yard and play toys. Throw away broken set up a nice seating area for Jeremiah and I. I love spring!
24. Memorize the 10 Commandments. This is the next set of scriptures our children are learning.
25. Research and buy my new slr camera. Any recommendations? I’ve been saving for months and finally have enough!
26. Cut the girls’ hair for summer. It will be more like a trim.
27. Get my hair thinned and trimmed.
28. Get a new header on this blog. It needs updated so badly!!
29. Shop for and throw a birthday celebration for Samantha.
30. Take my kids to the park at least twice.
31. Run more. At least three days a week. The rain put a HUGE damper on this in April. I’m hoping May will be better.

So, there you have it. Hopefully this month will be better. I’m starting earlier and clinging to the hope the weather has GOT to be drier this month too!

Have you made a list? I’d love to see it. Leave me a link so I can check it out.
