A "to do" list

Summer is here. Well not quite officially, but its gonna be in the mid-90's today. Weather man indicated a heat index of over 100! What.the.heck! So much for spring! Oh well. Crankin te A.C. up!

I have somethings I want to get done this month. They are over due. But I don't want them lingering any longer on my list. So if I post them here, I feel as though I have some accountability to do them, and report back they are completed :-). So here goes the June 2011 to do list.

1. Weed and Mulch front flower beds! Came home from work on Wednesday and Hubs was in the middle of doing this all for me! He read my mind! It looks great now! Love him for taking that off the list. (and for a million other reasons) Also, Wed- the heat index was around 100. He started this project in the hottest part of the day. 3pm. I should have been the one sweating some serious lbs off. But he said he was happy to make me happy- and he had time to do it that day, so that was it. I'm a lucky girl.
2. Organize and clean up computer/desk area.
3. Organize and clean up Hutch in kitchen. Can't open bottom doors without things falling out on us
4. Baby proof- gates up, things she can get to crawling- put up a few steps higher!
5. Starting working out agian. This is a hard one. It's something I MUST get motivated to do. There are a million excuses not to. But I need to jus remember the million reasons why I must.
6. Have a date night. Let someone watch P in the evening. (i hate doing this. because I miss her so much during the day while I work....not being with her at night is hard for me.) But a date with the Hubs is long overdue. Our anniversary is 6-21, so I think that would be a good reason.

I could probably add alot more to the list. But I really want to do these things. So I won't overwhelm myself and over commit myself. I do work full time and have a 6month old. So my plate is full in general.

This weekend is my brother's girlfriend's baby shower. We (Mom and SILs ) are hosting it and looking forward to doing what we can to help them get ready for baby Josh's arrival in late July! I can't wait for a little nephew! He is gonna be overwhelmed by the current cousin situation (all girls!) But hopefully, in time he will have some boy cousins to play with. (Reese 2 1/2, Cami 11 months, Presley 6 months) We do know that they will have a ton off fun together being so close in age. 4 cousins in 2.5 years! What fun! But we also think he will be getting bossed around by these little bossy pants girls and probably involved in girly dress up games. (his dad will hate it)

Looking forward to my day off tomorrow. Presley is outta sorts these days. Teething, maybe. She was running a fever last night. Only wanted be held by me and nap in my arms. She is just about too long for the swaddle me things. So we tried a modfied version last nght. Bought a sleep bag for her, and just swaddle with a different blanket her arms. That worked for about 3 hours last night. Then about every half hour she would wiggle her arms out, wake her self up- cry be mad. You would come in, re-swaddle (instantly back to sleep). And about 30 mins later, repeat. So needless to say, that didn't work- and I had very little sleep last night. And we need another solution asap. I can hardly shove her into the swaddle me any longer. She likes her arms and shoulders swaddled tight and since she wiggles while she sleeps if there isn't velcro holding it together- she escapes and is quite unhappy about it. This is swaddle method 10 plus. And we always come back to the double swaddle, swaddle me on the inside and a aden and annais blanket around that.
