I was just thinking how I SHOULD be cleaning up and out and gettting reaedy for a yard sale this weekend, BUT instead I chose to sit and watch Tyler Perry's Good Deeds. I didnt have time to watchit last night and my daughter has a friend coming home wiht her this afternoon, so I figured I BETTER watchg it now while I am home alone.

What can I do next?

I SHOULD be doing school work while entertaining a 12 month old and doing laundry. Instead I am on Mamapedia, while the 12 month old runs around the house entertaining the dogs and the load of laundry that I stuck in the washer at 7 am is still in the washer.

I've also made some phone calls, made some FD plans for the weekend, and bought a gift card for one of the 3 fathers WE have to buy for.....still don't know what to do for the hubs....exactly.

I am
trying to book hotel rooms for my nieces bachelorette party next month and researching the healthiest natural sweeteners....looks like stevia, sucanet, maple syrup, and raw honey are good healthy alternatives to white table sugar. Also, found a Mariott close to LaBare for the ladies!

I should be cleaning up but I'm on Mamapedia instead.

I will, however, be playing w/my little one once nap time is over.

then I will clean, play, organize, vacuum & scrub the bathrooms, do laundry.

But if I could just get, 15 mins...................ahh.

I already made dinner if that counts? :)
