To Do List

Edit - I've got an update to the below list already!! Grant has already finished painting the brown and white stripes! He is so ready to get it done that he may even at least have the tape done for the green stripes this weekend. Yipee!! :)

So, I've decided to make a a To-Do List. We have approximately 16 weeks left until Weston makes his appearance, but there are still quite a few things that we need to do around our house and in his room, as well as, things that we still need to purchase. So, I'm going to make a list, and I'll update this list weekly on my blog, so I can keep track of my status and try to remain on track with everything that needs to be done. I'd like to have everything finished by January 1st.

Ha-Ha!! I'm a little bit OCD...I'm such an organizer and planner, so I'm all about this! I would've loved to have everything done, but I can't do it all myself, so I have to wait on schedules of others, as well. Ha-Ha! :) And our budget doesn't allow us to buy everything at once, so I have to wait a little while to buy some things.

Your list is long like mine! I haven't put mine on paper just yet, but I will soon. I'm a list person too. I know what you mean about having to wait on the schedule of others, I guess that helps us practice patience.

Kayla said...

Wow, what a great list! I love being organized as well! Good luck with everything!

That is quite the list, good luck to you and the hubby.

I can't wait to see Weston's room all finished!

Jane said...

I am so impressed by your organization skills!!

Hilary said...

Thanks!! I love yours too! P.S. I admire your to-do list skills. Mine looks about the same, just replace all the baby stuff with finishing our house! And to answer your question, I'll be leaving a bank to work at my mom's insurance company.

Wow, I'm seriously impressed with your organizational skills! I makes lists and include things I've already done, just so I can cross them off! :-)

Jill said...

Oh my... you are SO organized! I don't think I would have thought of half the things on your list. Baby Weston will definitely be coming home to an organized home.
