So much to do....

I have soooo much to do and lack any motivation whatsoever...
Jack started his holidays - two weeks off and we are going to do so mcuh and it is day one and can not find any motivation to get going..... Little Emilie has been sick (high temp) for the last 24 hours - so I was up at 2.30 this morning giving her a cool shower to try and cool her down... so I guess I am a little tired.
What do I want to do....
- Clean out ALL of the cupboards in our house. A spring clean - there is that much stuff crammed into our cupboards and we lose half od what is there - so time for clean out and throw out what is not used... so that is today and tomorrow...
Then, we are going to paint out all of mission brown on our house. Jack painted the roof last year to that Rivergum or wilderness green - so all of the other brown need to go. Put before that can happen.. we have to concrete a section of our back path, and replace some barge boards from around the outside of the house...
But what is more exciting is that we are going to Adelaide for a few days.. leaving next Friday. Jack has a lot of family in Adelaide, including his brother so it is about time we paid a visit. The last time we went to Adelaide was when laura was only 9 days old. Jack' sister Theresa flew in from Zimbabwe with her new baby and husband - so we went over to meet them all... We have booked accomodation right in the CBD... A 2 bedroom appartment suite and we got a BARGIN - usually $430.00 a night and we are going paying $149.00 - 5 star - so very much looking forward to spoiling the kids while away!! We will come home through Paringa (Near Renmark) where Jack's parents live (Right on the Murray River) and will be back around Tuesday or Wednesday of the following week. Cant wait...

But before any of that can happen.. there is a list of jobs a MILE long... so I guess I should get my bum into gear (Bit of a laugh.. it's nearly 5.30 and time for tea---wasted the whole day!)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

You have a list? I love lists! Sometimes a day of relaxation is required before embarking on fully knocking one over though...

Enjoy the break in Adelaide and don't forget to spoil yourself!

Great list. And sometimes it feels like forever before something is crossed off it but when it does, it feels so good.

Have a great time in Adelaide. DH has family in Renmark so know the area well. It is beautiful on the river. :D
