This Weekend

Ok I know its only wednesday, but Im really excited about this weekend! It is going to be busy and packed full of stuff to do. Whats on the Hodgson agenda? A wedding, going to Port Rowan to see my family, having a garage sale, bun day, play with ALL my nieces and nephews (yup, we are all going to be in the same place at the same time...wonderful!), and of course taking Coral to the BEACH! Um and did I mention that Hodg and I will be baby free for two nights!? Allow me to explain.

The wedding that we are going to is an evening wedding on Friday. Hodg and I didn't know what to do about Coral, since the Isaacs (my sister and her lil fam) are going to my parents house to help them with their garage sale. We didn't want to bring her with us because the wedding doesn't start until Corals bedtime. So, she is going with the Isaacs and staying at her Nana and Papas. Since Friday is a holiday, they will be taking her thursday night, and we wont be getting to Port Rowan until Saturday morning, which means we are baby free for two nights! At first I was a little bit sad, but now Im just plain giddy about it. Hodg and I are going to take advantage, and are going out for dinner and a movie Thursday evening, and I have big plans to sleep in on Friday.

Coral also absolutely LOVES going to my parents. They have a play room that is stocked full of toys that my mom gets all ready for her when she comes. Plus, Emma will be there, so Coral will be in her glory. She already is saying Nana and Papa constantly. So, its a win/win situation for us.

Now, that leaves me with Friday all by myself. I will be alone all day. It will be weird. I have thought about what Im going to do that day. I could take the day off, spending it just relaxing, not doing much. When is the last time I have gotten to do that. Before Coral was born. Would I even know how to relax? Could I actually just take a day for myself and not worry about all the things that need to get done? When will I have this opportunity again?

Or, I could take advantage of the fact that Coral is being well taken care of, and I have the whole day to tackle my never ending to do list.

My to do list includes:

1.  laundry
2. clean all baseboards
3. clean fridge, stove, microwave
4. clean all kitchen cupboards
5. wash living room area rug
6. clean all bathrooms
7. dust everywhere
8. wash all windows
9. sweep and clean front deck
10. wash floors
11. wash sticky little fingerprints off walls
12. organize closets
13. scrape paint off this dresser:

14. Sew button back on pillow that Coral ripped off

15. Sew Coral some new pillows for her room out of this granny fabric:

16. Paint master bedroom

Just thinking about all the stuff I need to get done makes me tired. So, what do you think, do I work at my to do list, or take the day off and relax? Either way Im really looking forward to this weekend :)
