Most days I feel like I’m treading the water of “things that HAVE to be done” and so rarely able to do things that really SHOULD be done and forget anything that just WANTS to be done! So in order to keep in mind the things I’d like to enjoy doing when I get the time, I’ve made a list:
Scrapbooking; I’d like to finish Lily’s “baby book” photo album of her first year and start Clara’s.
Organize photos; I need another large photo album for family photos, something to just flip through.
Cardmaking; I need to make more and stock up.
Sewing; oh I’d love to make dresses for the girls. They don’t really need them, but it would be nice to put something in their wardrobe that I made.
Learn some songs on guitar for the girls; I want to have a lot of music in our home. I want them to be familiar with playing an instrument and I think it would be a fun thing to learn some songs I could sing with them.
Read, read, read!
I mentioned to Phil that I’d like a few hours maybe once a month when he could watch the girls and I could just do something I enjoy. I think we could work this out. We’ve already agreed that my monthly trip to Sioux City to do our grocery shopping will be the time I can go to Starbucks and get some reading done and drink some coffee that I didn’t have to make. I did that this month and it was great! I looked forward to it for days. So maybe I’ll start to get some of these other things going as well.
