    Exclamation Ladies, keep me on track!

    I have a month before my Mom and Grandmother get here. I'd like the house to be picked up and nice when they get here. Outside, there isn't much I will be able to do for the next two weeks as there will be construction going on. This Sunday we will be moving things outside in anticipation of that. But that's all we will be able to do until that is taken care of.

    Inside though I have lots i need to do. Today I started on windows. I got the west, south and some of the east facing windows done. I have so much to get done. I have given myself a month to get it done, and I am thinking that will be plenty of time.

    So for today i am happy with my accomplishment of the windows. It's a good start.

    Good advice from the other ladies. Small chunks so you don't get overwhelmed. You'll do it and then you'll get to sit back with your guests and enjoy everything you've done.

    Just do what you can Missy. It will all get done before your Mom and Grandmother get there.

    I have been making weekly to do lists. Something I had never done before. They have helped me greatly.
