Progress Report

My parents kept the three little kids from Sunday through Thursday and I got so much accomplished. When I went to bed last night, here are the things I was able to call "done!"

• hung 4 bird pictures that Allen's great-grandma made
• hung a rose print she had
• hung 2 plate racks with 4 plates
• hung 3 large family photos
• hung 2 verses about peace (my word-goal for the year)
• rearranged some lamps to bring light to dark corners of the house
• took down the Christmas cards
• finished cleaning the dining room -- I even cleaned everything in the china hutch
• made another floral arrangement to go with all the roses in the dining room
• emptied half the garage with 2 trips to Goodwill
• got caught up on laundry (but this no longer applies)
• got to relax and rest just enough that I'm ready to be a mama again
