Clear the clutter from my counter – it’s my Mt. Everest.
I told you about Captains Courageous when I went to your library meeting, but now that we’ve read it – I’m serious about this – the full version is HARD. I don’t mean Do Hard Things hard. Have you read Treasure Island? The nautical language in that is hard, but this is 10 times worse. Nautical and dialects like crazy. I read it to the kids and would get through chapters and not have any idea of much that went on. I started skipping like crazy just to get us through it. I found an abridged version at the library, when we’re ready for it again I’m going to go with that.
Also, if you want to watch a movie, do not watch the newer version. They change basic elements of the story horribly. In the movie they kill off 3 main characters that do not die in the book. But reading reviews, it sounds like the older one is good (didn’t know there was an older one when we watched it).
My hard thing – I’ll finish my sister’s quilt I’m giving her for Christmas before next December. I’m in the process of finishing my other sister’s that I gave her last year. But believe you me, it’s worth that wait.
My hard thing ~ Being the mom my kids need me to be when I’ve had so little sleep. That’s about all I can do right now when my baby was up so late. But, things are getting a little better so that is good.
My hard thing – tackling my desk. It is overflowing with paperwork and junk mail and it is driving me crazy! I’m sure there’s at least a few hours of work involved in getting the piles cleared off/filed/thrown away.
My hard thing- sorting through and organizing the pile of papers that relocated from the dining room table to the guest bedroom in preparation for Thanksgiving. Yikes!
My hard thing is going to be shipping out customer orders while making cookies in time for our cookie-decorating playdate and listening to my 5 year old practice Away in a Manger for the Christmas play.
We’re doing some painting too…staining the patio. That’s hard. As well as organize, clean and stage my tiny home to get it ready to sell as soon as the calendar page flips again. All while doing Christmas for my family of 5. In my tiny house. Which is why we need to sell it.
I guess I just announced to the world that we are indeed going to move. I hope noone in my ward reads this. We aren’t ready to tell them that yet.
Getting out of bed! I’m sick
Well, in coordination the with the hard thing I did tonight, tomorrow I shall empty out the swamp growing in my veggie drawer. This time tomorrow, the fridge will be officially and completely cleaned. WooohooooO!
Tonight it was hard for me to be patient with some people I was having to work with. To try to see their perspectives, to listen when I really didn’t want to. I think that was probably the hardest thing I will face this week.
The hard thing I’m going to do is get up early to exercise!
* Pick up all the clean clothes off my bedroom floor.
* Take some DayQuil.
* Clean my bathroom.
* Find stray tissues tucked under my pillow and behind the headboard.
* Clean the front room.
* Sneeze a dozen times.
* Decorate the front room (except the tree).
* Twitter about how stuffed up my nose is.
* Clean the kitchen.
* Decorate the kitchen.
* Try and finish a few loads of laundry.
* Take a nap after I get the kids from school (early out day).
I think the hardest thing I’ll do all day is get out of bed with this miserable cold.
Don’t you love it when there are “nice ladies” (or gentlemen) around to help out at the stores? It makes my day
!!
My Hard Thing- Taking the whole family (4 kids 7 and under) on a 16 hour drive across four states to spend Christmas with my In-Laws.
You make me chuckle, it’s good – I really like nice people too. Aaron was watching a little TED, this guy reminded me of you (esp. the knives bit) – he has a tinkering school. Anyway, how great to have something similar as part of your school, and wouldn’t our husbands be the perfect teachers! http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/gever_tulley_on_5_dangerous_things_for_kids.html
PS – I’m glad you’re feeling better!
I’m reading Do Hard Things righ now. I really want my 2 teens to read it but I don’t think they will. I’m getting so much out of it.
My hard thing….Creating a budget.
