    I just went over and read your article. LOVED it, girl you are so funny and you can tell you love your boys/life and homeschooling!

    Great list! I intend to do most of those things and take pictures of them for my blog, too. (Nothing like multi-tasking!)

    Except I can’t do #6 because both of my grandmas are now in Heaven where they wouldn’t appreciate being interrupted by phone calls from me.

    And if I actually do #12 or #13 I will not be posting pictures of same.

    Have a good one!

    Hey, while I am too lazy to actually write down a list, my mental list looks a lot like yours.

    If you come down and help me paint my boys room (Halo 3 is the theme they want- ugh!), I’ll help you. :-) I don’t have Francis!Francis! but I do have Saeco!Incanto!RapidSteam!

    My 48. would read: Pay your library fines, and stop using your kids library cards.
