To-Do List

I hate moving more than just about any other activity. However, it needs to get done, and I am going to make a nice organized list of crap I need to do in the process. I'm going to include stuff I've already done so I can feel a little bit of accomplishment. LOL Bolding what's done.

*Clean bedroom floor
*Pack 75% of toys (sadly, I did this and we still have a ton out. Spoiled, much?)
*Clean hallway
*Clean utility room
*Go through our bathroom closet and throw out old/expired toiletries and medicines
*Go through Ethan's bathroom closet and get rid of boxes and other junk
*Go through non-perishable food and throw out old opened boxes
*Clean around my desk
*List magazines on Craigslist; recycle what's left
*List microwave, couch, grill, anything else still useful but not needed on Craigslist
*Go through our clothes, donate/sell what I don't want
*Go through Ethan's clothes, list on OLU/eBay
*Go through shed and throw away stuff in tubs that we haven't touched since we moved out of Lakeside (in 2003!)
*Gather tubs and buy boxes (partially done, I got a bunch from Craigslist but we'll still need more)
*Sort through books and list ones I don't want on Amazon Marketplace or similar
*Clean Ethan's closet
*Take bouncy seat and any other baby gear I don't want to keep to Once Upon a Child
*Go through gigantic pile of boxes in bedroom and decide what to keep
*Shred huge pile of credit card offers; opt-out of getting them in the future
*Change addresses on magazine subscriptions, bills, etc...
*PACK! (in progress!)

Are you on my list?

If you read this and you have a blog that isn't in my list over there -->, please leave me a linkie. :D

A fresh start...

So, try #5897013270 at keeping up on a blog. Let's see if this one succeeds. :D As if I needed another place to put updates about my life, but at least here you don't have to pay to see my ramblings.

If you don't know me or don't keep up on my life already, Hi, I'm Lacie. I'm 25 years old, married to Shawn, and I'm a stay-at-home-mom to Ethan. I like to pretend that I'm a graphic designer, and people tell me I'm at least decent at it.

I'm also a mommy to two angels, which sucks a lot. We lost baby #2 (Bean) when I was 12 weeks pregnant, back in November. Then we lost baby #3 (Wiggle) when I was 9 weeks in February. Miscarriages suck. Since I've now had two in a row, I get to have testing to see what the hell is wrong with me. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it - the testing could answer a lot of questions.

The biggest news in our lives right now is that we're moving! Yay! It's a 3 bedroom house with a nice big fenced backyard. The best part is that we get to move in early in exchange for painting the whole house - no more white walls!

That should just about bring you up to speed. Let's hope I can keep this updated a little better than my previous attempts.
