10.05.10 - lists and 18 days to go

My head is filled with lists. Sometimes these lists spill over and either get lost or if I am lucky land on paper and continue to remind me that I still haven't done them yet......

lists like

1. Boys:-

• sort out Eldest's shoes (bit difficult as they are on his feet and he is at school)
• find missing socks (might actually let the boys look for their socks for a change)
• sort out the 'school shelf' before it cascades off and lands in an untidy heap on the floor (oops too late)

2. Mom :-

• sort out birthday plans (in progress but can't say too much shhhhhhhhhhhh) blogs have readers - is this a updated version of walls have ears?

3. College :-

• Start next module (and stop blogging)
• find enthusiasm to start next module (and stop crocheting)
• find enthusiasm to find the enthusiasm to start the next module (and stop gardening)
• stop groaning at the thought of the next module....... (and generally stop procrastinating)

4.Greenhouse/garden

• continue sowing seeds (2nd and 3rd sowings of some of the vegetables to give continuous cropping)
• prick out veg seedlings (running out of compost - need to get some more)
• pot up larger seedlings (running out of space)
• sift compost (see above)
• weed 
• mow
• re-seed some bare patches on the lawn (think I might enter the village garden festival)
• there is a lot more to this list, but sadly this is part didn't reach  paper and has got lost in the ether...

5. WIP

• finish 1 x cave man (needs arms and face detail)
• start 1 x cave girl (has head but nothing else)
• finish 1 x Rolf Harris (No - don't know why this one was ordered - and I haven't asked either!)
• Put faces on the 4 of the 5 guinea pigs I have made for a school fayre
• start another guinea pig for a separate order (I am getting heartily sick of guinea pigs)

A tanglement of guinea pigs, cavemen, cones of wool and a celebratory 

6. Holiday planning

• try not to get too excited (too late!)
• need to arrange pet care/cover (phew for cat and chicken sitters - my Mom and Dad)
• find/fix/replace any holiday gear for the boys (which in itself is a HUGE list)
• get caravan and tent ready (that's on Himself's list but I like to have it on mine too :) )
• plan where and what we will do! (know where were are going but it's nice to have a goodly list of places to see, beaches to comb, hills to climb, valleys to walk - getting extremely excited now!!)

It's been a while since we've been away - our last holiday was in August in the Orkneys, since then we have had commitments or unable to get leave off from work and made do with walks and bike rides on weekends.

I am sure there are more lists lingering in my head, but they have evaporated with thoughts of going away - only 18 days to go :)
