Uh, yeah, that didn't happen. But, to me, a day dedicated to sewing
projects is retty awesome and I had two of those last month.
I went back through some older lists and picked a few items I
hadn’t completed and got busy. This is
what I was able to get done as well:
1. Make my daughter's bedroom curtains Yay! Finally!
2. Install mini blinds in kitchen and laundry room windows Yay! Finally!
3. Thoroughly spring clean both bathrooms Glad that chore is done!
4. Open my Etsy store
Yay!
Finally!
That is an impressive list you have there. I need to be more like you and make a list. I get more done if I do. I probably won't get too much done the next week or so because I will have a house full of men. I'm just hoping to have some me time while they are here. (I don't have any daughters just boys and they along with my brother-in-law will be here.) Have a great week.

Enjoy your men! And I do hope you get a break as well. :)
DeleteI am a bit back on the calendar but I can feel the pain of July expenses. Not a dime in savings, all of it went out the door. Sigh. Back to squeezing.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! July was a tough one. I feel your pain. :)
