My to-do list for Monday:
1. Grocery Shopping DONE
2. Tractor Supply for wood chip for Fat Max DONE
3. Post Office to drop off RAOK's DONE
4. pay the gas bill DONE
5. Call my aunt and the dog groomer DONE
6. finish a couple of letters
7. work on dolls and mail art I've started on one doll. Had to completely strt over. aaarrrggggg!!! I have the top sewed and I'm adding the crocheted collar. Hopefully I will get ONE doll finished tonight!
8. laundry, laundry, laundry!!! Last load is in the dryer. Well the last load that I am going to do tonight anyway! There's one left for tomorrow.
9. Take care of my friend's dog later this afternoon. DONE
10 Came up with a couple of more things while I was doing my errands-
Clean out my purse DONE, balance checkbook DONE and work on my farmgirl b-day/anniversary calendar DONE.
I swore I wasn't gonna, but I couldn't resist the thrift. But I did kinda good. They had a bunch of brand new skeins of yarn and I was really, really tempted to buy them all up. But I left them there! Melissa just sent me a whole bunch of yarn and I have made myself promise not to buy anymore until I use up what I have! But I did find cute little rustic picture of a clothesline. I couldn't pass it up! It was just too unusal. And I found a little something to put in my RAOK pile. And a stack of home decorating magazines. I am having a major weakness for good magazines right now. I plan on flipping through and then passing them on.

Today is my gardening day. Now that I ma getting closer to the last frost date, I have a lot to do! It's been so warm lately I don't think we're going to have another frost, but you never know :) So my list for today (and every consecutive day until it all gets done):
1. Plant seeds - turnips, pumpkins (inside), watermelon (inside), squash (inside), cucumbers (inside), corn, beans
2. Transplant herbs to herb garden and plant more by seed.
3. Build trellis.
4. Harden off tomato seedlings.
5. Peppers to larger pots.
6. Build tomato and pepper beds.
OK...I think I'm going to be busy for a while. Hopefully my house won't get too awful LOL!

Ugh! Got almost nothing done yesterday - the list isn't so impressive when it doesn't get done! Think I'll make it a "this week" list, instead of "today" list! :-)
For me, for today:
1. Dust
2. Vacuum
3. Clear desk area.
4. Plant some seeds
5. Doll dress
6. Cookies for DD's birthday
7. Studio cleaning - 1/2 hour per day
8. Blog post
9. Update Art Fire store
10. Post new pictures on Flickr.
Oh - and laundry and dishes, of course!

You girls sure are keeping busy!!! I hope your children are feeling better and happy belated Birthday wishes!
Headaches are gone! Melissa, they are Migraines and then they lessen but can easily get back up there if I am not careful, does that make sense? Thank you girls for your concern.
Yesterday was church and kicking back afterward. Today, I helped my honey with his work so I lost half a day taking care of my chores so here is what was accomplished:
~Some light gardening. Planting Lettuce and Scarlet Runner Beans. Our regular planting date isn't until after Memorial Day (because of frost) so I just used containers.
~Dishes
~Laundry
~Baked Bread
~Still need to work on Bible Study
~Dusted and polished furniture
~Did some decorating
~Still need to mail some letters
~Made a couple of phone calls

My aunt called me back this evening when she got in from work. I had called to ask her how the repairs to my mamaw's house were coming along so I could get an idea on how much longer till we can move in. She asked if I was ready to move in and I said umm yeah. She siad "Well move in then!" I asked her if she was sure cousin Bob was done working and she's pretty sure he is, but she said to give her a couple of days to make sure. So YIPPEEE!!!! Sounds like we will be moving soon!!! I can't wait!!!

I've talked to my aunt and cousin Bob. My aunt said maybe another week and I could move in. Well then I talked to cousin Bob and found out just what he had left to do and it is probably more like another month. I hope not, but if it is oh well. My aunt has also told me if I wanted to I could go ahead and put out a garden. So mom and I went over to look the yard over and well see how the house was looking too. All of mamaw's iris are in bloom. Her rose bush and peony bushes are budding. My aunt hasn't moved anything out of the house. So if I don't hear from her by the weekend, I'll call her and offer to sort out what can be yardsaled, what is sentimental and what just needs to be pitched. And along with working on the house and I'm going to at least get started on a little garden patch.

Thanks everyone! I don't do anything very complicated, but I will try and post pics when I'm done with all of them! That's pretty much going to be my to-do list until they're all done! But I did help my Mom run errands, and I have to put some clothes away that have been sitting on my floor forever (I do have my teenagerish tendencies:)

Today, I got a lot of stuff finished for school! We have a few reports due in the next few weeks, having only 18 days left! Our graduation is 4 weeks from tomorrow, so that's not a lot of time! I also crocheted a little, but otherwise, not a whole lot.

Ok here is my first time posting here but maybe i will keep up if other people know what I need to do.
1. Scream cause mom is coming in a day earlier than planned.
2. Clean kitchen from top to bottom.
3. Straighten Living room (thankfully we don't use that room unless she is in town so I just need to dust and vacoum).
4. Deep clean bathroom.
5. Take stuff that has piled up in hallway to shed for sell.
6. Clean Dinning room and polish wood in there.
7. put up the fence to keep the dogs in cause mom can't stand dogs in the house.
8. Sometime today manage to get the tomotoe plants in the garden before they all die.
9. Finish up the west fence line.
10.Plant Cactus.
11.Mow and Weedeat (man I didn't realize it had grown so much)
well so far so good, it is 3:30 p.m. and all that is left in the house is stuff for my DH to take care of when he gets home. i am off to the outdoors to work on that, had to add more stuff to the list since this morning.

I'm not doing much today. Took the day off sick. Yeah sick again. BLUCK!!! Put in a not-so-pleasant call to the doctor yesterday. This is the second time he has prescribed a certain antibiotic for me. I tried to tell him that it doesn't work for me. I will get better for a day or two and then the crud is back worse than it was to begin with so from now on it's plain ole' amoxicillan for me. He is probably not very happy with me, but I really don't care right now. That's not a very fargirl-ish attitude is it? :( I'll be better in a couple of days though.
So for today ummmm maybe some dishes and a load laundry. Going to try to work on a dolly later. I did get one of them finished last night!! YAY!!!
So far I haven't done anything today. Well nothing but lay in the bed and sleep. I tried to play my games on facebook, but my tired ole body said it didn't even want to do that. This is the most energy I've had all day. And to think I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow. ugh
Hope ya'll are having a beautiful day!
