The Goal: Each week, you figure out what you need to do for the following week. No real point, but it’s a great way of keeping track of plans and things.

• Practice for getting up and ready for school (Madison starts Thursday).
  *w00t* We already completed that, and were ready an hour before we had to leave, . Plenty of time to do everything
• Laundry. Gotta make sure Madi’s got all the clothes she’s going to need for school.
  I already have one load in the dryer and one in the washer. *w00t*
• Clean the dishes and kitchen. ICKY!! Starting to get gross in there. Okay, not really, but definitely needs to be done.
• Take my copy of Acheron because mine has a couple ripped pages (not my doing, shipped that way)

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

• Josh is off *party!!*
• Test run to see how long it takes to get from here to the school (Josh will be staying with Ethan)
• More laundry because you know I won’t be finished from the 11th,
• Madden 2009 with Brett Favre in a Packers jersey is released. Supposedly Madden is going to release a free download that you can print out to re-cover the game with him in a Jets jersey. Anyone just baffled at that? At least they put him on the Hall of Famer or whatever roster, and not the Packers.

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

• Last full day with Madison at home. *whimper*
• Do final checks, making sure we have everything she needs for school.
• Make sure we smother her, so that she’s ecstatic to be at school ;)
• Clean some, . We’ll see how much I actually get done.

Thursday, August 14, 2008

• Goodbye childhood, hello school. Okay, seriously, Madi’s first day of school. It’s only a half day, so not much will be going on, .
• Josh is also off today, *w00t*. Three days off this week, one day being paid ;)
• More cleaning. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate to clean? Maybe I’ll treat myself to a tub-cleaning, which means a nice long bath afterwards?

Friday, August 15, 2008

• Madi’s first full-day of school. Will she be happy or sad today? We’ll find out
• May I say now, that I hate cleaning but will most likely be doing more.
• I also need to seriously get caught up on my sigs for Sigs ‘n More. Pathetically behind with those.

Saturday, August 16, 2008

• No big plans for today.
• Pray the kids sleep in, or at least one ;)
• No cleaning. I don’t care what the place looks like. If I did the chores for the week during the week, there shouldn’t be *too much* to do anyway.
• Work on scrap pages

Sunday, August 17, 2008

• Josh should be off today. *w00t*
• Most likely staying home, or heading up to Holton to hang out there.
• Can I has sleep-in?

So what are your plans for the week? If you post your own list, make sure you leave a comment here to let me know. I’d love to see what others are doing!!

The joy of living in an apartment complex with people with no manners.

No blur used, just going in a circle to catch a shot of him.

Another thing the complex refuses to fix. Their idea of fixing it is, instead of replacing it with an actual step, they put wood down. That means a few stumbles because it’s of a totally different thickness

I know it’s most likely not, but man, it looks wrong!!

Everything but her backpack and lunchbox are gone now. Dropped them off Thursday when we enrolled her

One of the dupes is for Julie I got them Wednesday. Finished the little blue one on Wednesday, had Acheron finished by the end of Thursday ;)

Taken at Kindergarten enrollment. Such enthusiasm right?

Okay, okay. Proof needs to be shown that I’ve been working on things, right? Okay, FINE!! Here’s the proof!! Now, languish in the awesomeness that is Sarah. Bow down. Come on, bow down. Okay, fine, don’t bow down, but, um, be nice enough to give me some constructive criticisms or something then

I did not put the pictures that I’ve used, though They don’t really count
(more…)

No more whining, no

more lamenting on the

fact she’s growing up

I need to get up

and be mature about this

She needs to do this

(more…)

Okay, time to share some pretty and varied pictures that I’ve taken recently. Some pictures have time and date on them, because I didn’t remove it for when we were gone to Indiana.

Madison trying to figure out her new bike. Josh had the seat way too low, hence the bowlegged look.

She looks happy, though, doesn’t she?

Daddy helping her figure out what to do with her feet.

Getting ready to take a walk. Different day.

Something ominous this way comes. Storms blowing through did spark some tornado warnings, but as far as I know, no reports of anything touching ground.

Raindrops keep falling on my head. The rain, before it came down so hard I was getting wet standing at my door.

Fear over what may come. Not the greatest shot of me (you can see UP my nose, LOL), but I like the look.

Can you hear me now? One of the megaphone things at the apartment playground.

I can jump!! Ethan trying to get up on the playground set without going up the stairs first. Not quite tall enough yet.

Hold on tight! I was standing on a piece of the playground equipment that bounces. Thought it made a good photo-op.

I think I can, I think I can. For once, a halfway normal shot of my son running. He usually looks like he has a few loose screws, if you catch my drift, :/

The moving thingie that my hand was on when I took the picture of my hand. No idea what to call it!
