I have several projects that I wrote down during the last few months of the school year. I want to get these projects completed this summer. It started as my "spring cleaning" list, but now it's my "summer project list."

There are the items I have completer during the first 2.5 weeks of summer:

Make sure every bowl has a lid and throw the others out

Find all our classical music CDs

Yep. That's it.

This is what I still which to accomplish:

Spring Cleaning

Clean and organize the bookshelf in the living room

Clean out all dressers and closets

Organize the medicine cabinet

Download family videos to computer

Make a Regency-style dress

Get loaned out items back from others (half way there)

Put geography locations of literature we have read on maps (half way there)

Clean the fridge and oven

Weed the flower bed in front of the house

Purge unnecessary clutter

Then there is the list to prepare for school:

Buy books for school

Organize library for new school year

Write overview

Write out school year calendar

Update weekly lesson planner

**But I also want to go to the free movies with the kids, go to the pool and the beach, have play dates, work, go to Kings Dominion, go camping, finish summer school, take the kids to VBS, pay off more debt….

These things I’m accomplishing. But I forget to set aside an hour or so per day for these “special projects.”

What has worked for your family to get “special projects” accomplished?

I checked out your blog based upon some of the comments you've left on the Weaver group. You have a lot going on! (But don't we all!) I have a bit of real estate background, too, having worked in the loan and title industries for 15+ years before becoming a full-time SAHM. Now I do a little freelance editing/writing for extra money.

Good luck with your to-do list. I'm afraid the summer is going to come and go and all the things I wanted to do won't get done! I think I'll go make a list!
