    Default What Are Your Projects for The Week?

    My project for the week is laundry. Matty finally slept through the night last night (yeah!) so when dh's alarm went off at 5:30, I got up and went to work.

    It's now 8:19 am and I've done 3 loads and put them all away as well. Since the regular laundry is done, I'll be spending my week going through the kids clothes and seeing what they've grown out of and boxing tthem up and dropping them off at the appropriate in-laws homes for hand-me-downs.

    What is your household project for the week?

    My project for this week is to make arrangements for 's birthday trip! We're going to Newmarket, Ontario, for a 9-ball pool tournament near the end of June! I'm so excited -- I've never been out of the Maritimes and this will be our first trip together! So I have been scoping out the cheapest places to stay and the cheapest ways to fly.

    I also have to start looking for a hot plate -- we don't intend to eat out while we're there, but we won't be staying in a hotel with a kitchen, so we're going to get some food and cook it ourselves in the hotel room.

    I really need to clean out the craft room. It has been raining here for so long, I don't know when I can work in the yard.
