There are a few projects I've wanted to get done for quite some time and summer just seems like the right time to get them done.
I am SO fortunate in that I have an employer who lets me take one day per week off during the summer. I have done this for years and it's truly the sunshine in my life. I know in 10 or 15 years I'll look back and be SO happy that I took the time to spend at least one day a week during the summer with my boys. Since I HAVE to work and I can't work from home, this is just how it has to be for now. I go in REALLY early (6am) so that I am off work by 3:00 each day so I still get lots of afternoon hours with the boys as well.
This summer, I'd like to:
- Clean out the kids' closets and dresser drawers!
- Make a list of what the boys need for school clothing
- Get a window treatment of some type for my HUGE living room window
- Order a new calendar (HELLO ERIN CONDREN)
- Make a housecleaning worksheet to see if it would help break up my tasks
- Clean out my medicine cabinet
- Clean out the make up and misc drawer in the master bathroom
- Clean out the refrigerator and freezer(s)
- If possible, clean out the shed!
What a blessing to have an employer who will let you take one day a week. I know the boys love having mom around! Not sure if you have ever read Ashli's blog (Mini Manor), but she has some great cleaning/scheduling tips on her blog.
