holiday head

mrsbrownI'm in the hiatus between doing the things I promised myself I would do while on holidays and lying around like a slob - which is also one of the things I promised to do this week.
I am starting to get antsy and ready to write down the things I want to get done so I can fit them into the time I have left.
I have achieved - reading, watching television, organising my bedroom so I can keep it clean while working fulltime ( I've even mostly cleaned up the clothes pile), christmas dinner for 7, a house clean enough that I can start thinking about renovation projects (thankyou![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_bassman, you did most of it, I know) and some organising of T's room so she can keep it clean while going to school full time.
I still want to: make an outfit for 12th night, do some woodwork for the A&S competition at 12th night, empty the family room so I can do the reno project in the evenings during Jan (and employ people to do stuff too), make a pattern for work trousers from my favourite, nearly dead, work trousers and then make at least 2 pairs, go shopping in the sales along Bridge Rd for work shirts ( that don't need ironing or drycleaning. While I'm about it I shouldn't have to wash them either : ) ) I also want to; spend qwaality time with those children of mine, keep J from killing them from overexposure, make sure T is prepared for Jamboree on the 4th, encourage my sons to clean their room (low priority)
Hmmm, there's not very much on my list. Maybe I should arrange to spend an hour or so a day sanding the west wall so it can be painted, then again, I could do that in the evenings after work.
Ah! I know why the list is so short - I forgot the Rowany projects! J and I need a new bed and we'd like to re-frame our tent so it isn't so saggy baggy. We need to develop our welding equipment and ability b4 then though! This year, All my family will have shoes made by me - I think it will be easier than allocating budget and time to shopping for shoes that will "do". I also need an almost completely new set of clothes, I'm bigger and it's been 4 years since I made the dresses I wear most often - I need new "mucking around" outfits.
There you go - it must be time I did something about one of the things on my list. Maybe tomorrow!
