Good Intentions and ... A Name Change

Good intentions drive me crazy! There are so many things I want to do, even need to do, yet I don't quite know how to organize my time to get them all done. I have a list a mile long. Some of the "to do's" are things that need to be done around the house. Others are kind gestures that I want to do for people I know. There are even a few things that I want to do for myself (imagine that!) I guess I just need to prioritize and start checking things off my list...but where do I begin?

Below is a list of random things that I would like to get accomplished sooner, rather than later, or never!


  1. start exercising again
  2. clean the WHOLE house, not just a couple rooms at a time
  3. spend the whole day focused only on Matthew
  4. make dinner for a friend with a new baby
  5. send a card to a woman who lost her husband and is dealing with depression
  6. clean and re-stain the deck
  7. clean the carpet
  8. do something nice for my mom
  9. spend the whole day only focused on Logann
  10. organize the closet in my bedroom
  11. take a friend to dinner so she can get out of the house
  12. call a friend I haven't talked to in a while
  13. organize the garage
  14. get a pedicure
  15. scrapbook Matthew years 1-3
  16. begin Logann's scrapbook
  17. take some time for myself
Wow...I am tired just thinking about it all. Well maybe I can start working on this list and not let my good intentions remain just good intentions. Wish me luck!

On another note...are there ever days that you want to change your name??? Well, today is one of those days! At school, ALL DAY LONG, I heard "Mrs. Jones this?" and "Mrs. Jones that?" Then when I got home to a sick Matthew, I have heard nothing but "Mommy?", "Mommy?", "Mommy?"....and on, and on, and on, and on. I understand that I am lucky that he is able to call me mommy and that he is sick, and that he loves me oh so much, but I think I may change my name to "Fred."

  3. I have much of the same list of needed accomplishments, but it seems like there is never enough time! This summer we can get our moms to babysit while we get a pedicure :)
