Today’s To-Do List

I have an ominous list of things to do starting at me. Some of it was done yesterday, and I’d like to finish the rest asap. Some of it really doesn’t have to happen this week, but its written down so I don’t completely forget about it.

Today, I have to boil up a dozen eggs, do dishes, fold three hampers of laundry, and ideally I’d unpacked and organize my bags/purchases from this weekends trip.

I have a ton of things I’ve put off getting done that I should call and make appointments for, but what is it about making phone calls that just feels ominous? And thats the ONE job you can’t really call people in to help you with. No one can make my calls but me!

I need to book a pre-delivery physio appointment.

I’d like to book my nails/wax appointment for right before baby comes, as well, so I don’t forget and then get stuck without because of grad season.

I need to call Dr. Guselle and see if she’ll agree to remove Brady’s stitches at our prenatal this week, or if she doesn’t have time, to book with someone else, or just ask Brady to hit up a walk-in.

I was thinking I should book Dekker and Solly haircuts for the end of June, but maybe mid-July would be better. I’m not sure yet. And that one CAN wait. I just don’t want to forget.

On top of these things, I need to pick up a few more things for the baby party. I know its still a good ways off, but the things I CAN do in advance, I want to. So I have to gather up some more fake flowers and a TON of hot glue sticks, haha!

This is also the week leading up to garage sale day, and we’ve been talking about purging a haul out of our garage and donating it to one sale or another. But that’ll take time in the evening, which is our only real chance to actually spend time together. So we’ll see if we get there.

Oh, right. I’m helping at preschool on Thursday. Thats another thing.

And picking up fundraiser stuff after school today. Shoot. Don’t forget that, Hailey!

I just thought of something else as I was finishing that sentence, but now I forgot it…

Prenatal on Friday! Maybe Brady’s stitches removal. We’ll still have to see about that.

Just ALL kinds of things to remember, and I have to buckle down and do them!! I read something the other day that basically said forget waiting for motivation and just rock self discipline! It was written considerably more gently than that, but this is my version 😉 Maybe everyone thinks that way, but it resonated with me. I can’t count on being motivated all the time, because when that stuff doesn’t get done, its still on me! I have the gift of self discipline, as we ALL do! Not everything is going to come easy. Sometimes we have to make it!

Time to go get Laela from preschool, and then get a few things done while everyone is contained and eating lunch! Wish me luck!
