My Weekend To Do List:

Okay. I'm going to post my weekend to do list. Right. Here. And instead of writing new posts throughout the weekend, I'm going to update this one. So stay tuned...
Update #1: End of Friday Night...Blue Font
Update #2: Midday Saturday...Purple Font
Update #3: End of Saturday Night...Now, my favorite color...Red.

1. Order photos from Snapfish for 11% off and free shipping using the code "11FREESHIP" (Offer ends Sunday). This will also be done. Tonight. After I pay bills. Ha! So, after uploading a ton of pics last night and still not being around the price range that I "allowed" myself, I resumed uploading more this morning. Then the internet failed and I had to do some crappy computer crap and upload the rest. However, about $30 later and with over 300 photos on their way in the next week or two, we're all set. DONE.
2. Organize my craft room. I brought every piece of crap that was in the room and not where it needed to be into the dining room. Now, to give the crap a home. My craft room is Jose's dump crap room, so it is a big project. I spent a good chunk of the afternoon going through the pile mound ginormous mountain of stuff that came from the craft room and was sitting on the dining room table. I believe there are about five boxes/bags for the yard sale and I filled up a garbage bag. There is still stuff on the table, but it's basically my paint supplies and my scrapbook stuff, and I just need to put it in the craft room. There's also one box that is a ton of misc. stuff that I just kept tossing in there as I went along. I need to go through it still too. Yea. Still tackling this. The kids "helping" me isn't helping. And Jose's going to put a shelf in above the window for some more space to put things, which should help. The shelf is up and my awesome friend, Jamie, helped me put books and some baskets and this and that up. We also went through my stash of photo frames that I can't bear to part with and put in some pics and put them on the shelf. It's pretty awesome. DONE.
3. Finish mural. Seriously. It's for my neighbor and I have worked on it here and there for over a month. Still haven't touched this, but it's a project for after the kids go to bed.
4. Pay bills. Again. I hate bills, but I know that if I don't do it soon, people are going to knock on my door. Done. And I would have balanced my checkbook too, except my husband refuses to turn the light on because he's watching a movie. I balanced my checkbooks this morning and now this is DONE. Officially DONE.
5. Threaten Jose with bodily harm Ask my husband to please go through his tote of tools and project stuff and put them somewhere where they will belong. There is a growing pile that was shoved in my craft room that has got to go. I can't wait for him to have the garage all to himself (after the garage sale) for his tools and stuff. Jose went through his entire tote of stuff. Actually, it began as a tote. We bought it so that there was one place for all his things, tool and project related, to go in the house and out of the way, out of the hands of little people, out of sight, etc. The tote turned into a mountain and today, when he got home, he went through it. I was so proud, because he even grabbed his sorter box thing that Isa bought him for Christmas and I watched him sort out washers, nuts, bolts, a million different screws, etc. Still need to find a home for Jose's tote, but once we do, it'll be done.
6. Do five hours or so of website work for the Fort Wayne Fatherhood Coalition. Because then, my hours will officially be all equaled out how they should be. Still haven't touched this one either.
7. Beg and plead Ask my husband to hang all the things that I keep begging asking him to hang up, including photo frames, wall decor, etc. There is a pile of "hang up" things that will be done tomorrow. Or else. ;) Jose began this project this morning, but we've gotten into a rather large fight today, so he quit in anger. The pile has shrunk though. There are still a couple things in the pile, but he spend the afternoon making wood shelves for our pantry (and we took out the metal ones) and he put my shelf in the craftroom.
8. Finish putting the play room in the basement together (where it will remain clean and organized - HAHA! until we paint it). Maybe after lunch...Not even close...
9. Go grocery shopping. A large chunk of our evening was dedicated to this. Well, kinda. It ended up being a nice dinner, followed by a trip to McVans (a video game place) where we have a credit of over $100 because we traded in all our old game systems. We didn't see any games we wanted, so we asked about DJ Hero for the wii. Turns out one of the other stores had a turntable, so we trekked across town and ended up getting the turntable, DJ Hero, and DJ Hero 2. We also got Mario Party 8. And we still have money on the credit. We then went to Target to buy diapers. Two boxes of Huggies for $30 (saved $11 in coupons). And I love that Target has a Starbucks. We then went to Meijer, where we sipped on our drinks as we shopped. Ended up spending $98 on a full cart of groceries (saved $69), which isn't bad considering that we haven't bought coupons since February and are steering away from doing hardcore couponing. Granted, we still used coupons that we had and printables, but still. I felt like it was success and it really reinforced my choice to shop sales and continue to stock up while minimizing the insanity of coupons in my life. DONE.
10. Finish up my wedding scrapbook. (This one is just wishful thinking, but it would be nice!) Yea...nope. I have looked at the scrapbook stuff though (as I put them away).
11. Plant seeds for veggies in dixie cups so that in a few weeks, I can plant a real life garden. Maybe. This afternoon, the neighbor girl was hanging around, begging to help me do something...so once Isa and Teo woke from their naps, we went outside to plant. We didn't use dixie cups because we found an inexpensive planter box thingie for starting plants. Three of 'em, actually. Which worked well. And now, I have to remember to not kill them. DONE.
12. Trim the tree by the entrance. Remove mulch and plant grass. This project stemmed from one of the things in the hang up pile for Jose. My mom bought us these two lil' tree hugger things to hang on a tree, so we hung them. Then I felt the need to trim the tree. Then, when Jose went to Lowe's, we just decided it would make sense to buy grass since we've been talking about removing the mulch and planting grass there for the past two years or so. Tomorrow, the mulch is going to go and the grass will be planted...
13. Make curtains for the living room, dining room, the landing, our bedroom closet, and the craft room. Also make pillow covers for the living room and the craft room. As we continued to work on things, Jose kept bugging me about curtains, so Jamie and I went to Walmart before dinner. (Have I mentioned that I love that girl?!) The fabric there sucked, so we ended up finding cheap curtains, which we have cut and changed for what we wanted. They only had three packs, so tomorrow, we need to buy one more at a different Walmart. The living room is done and the dining room is waiting for its extra pack. The scraps from the packs and our alterations will be used for the curtains on the landing and the pillow covers for the living room. Tonight at Walmart, we also ended up buying two twin size sheets for $2 each (SCORE!), which are now our new closet "door". Just a couple of trimming things and they are ready to go!

Think it can be done? Hmmm....we'll find out, eh? Stay tuned for updates...
