Time to kick it into gear

All our traveling is done (probably for a long time) and the weather is starting to turn. It's warm enough out that windows can be opened and time can be spent outside. 

That means that it's time to start on the many projects that have been piling up on our to-do list. Time is ticking till you get here and soon I won't be able to do these things quite so easily. My ever growing stomach is a constant reminder of this- you are growing way too fast! I'm almost 7 months, I need more time!!!! Okay lets not panic. 

Here is my list (i'm obsessed with lists, they keep me sane!)

House Projects To Do Before Sergie Comes
- get the tub refinished (again) ((without getting ripped off this time))
- clean up and expand the garden outside
- reseed
- build a deck
- refinish the dining room buffet
- replace the shed door (a wind storm completely destroyed it last month)
- new dining room door
- paint... (there are a lot of things that need painting this spring)
   * hallway
   * master bedroom (i hate those damned stripes! i dont want to look at them anymore)
   * your room
   * mantel (there was an unfortunate issue with a fire and some smoke)
   * several shelves
   * front door (i did the shutters this spring but never the door
- decorate your room
- make your curtains and bedding (i bought the fabric before i left for vacation)
- organize all that crap piling in your room (auntie E we need you for this!!!!)
- clean out coat closet
- clean basement (we have a mold problem, everything needs to be ripped out)
- put the basement back together once its bleached and clean (auntie E we need you again)
- cover the pipes in the bathroom

Yes it's a large ambitious list Serg but seriously, do you think these things will get accomplished once you are actually HERE!? I think not. We will be way too busy not sleeping, then when we can sleep we will spend all our time running after you. So don't panic, it will get done bit by bit all before you get here.

(just please don't come early. or late for that matter. i am very punctual, i expect you to follow! anything earlier or later then when you are due to arrive is simply rude! remember this at birth an in life mister!)
