Blogging Instead of Doing

My excuse for blogging about my to-do list instead of doing it is that I'm still half asleep. That's what happens when your baby gets up at 5 am after you had just put her back to sleep at 3:45 and your husband knocks over your first cup of coffee. She went back to sleep right after J went to work, but I couldn't. These are the things I need to get done. Mostly as soon as possible.

1. Quinn's Easter Dress.

I have no idea what I was thinking when I agreed with Brenda to make the girls' Easter dresses this year. I had a 54 year old machine (that decided to break) and hadn't actually sewn anything with a pattern since high school. J got me a new sewing machine for Valentine's Day (because he's awesome like that) and I finally got the bobbin filled and the machine threaded. I was going to practice on some clearance fabric I got at Wally World, but needed to wash it first. It's now sitting in a pile of clothes to be put away. Which brings me to...

2. Piles of clean laundry.

It gets this big because I wait until the hamper is overflowing to do the laundry and usually find one more load picking up random bits of (mostly J's) clothing around the apartment. One basket is completely Quinn's stuff (that I can now put away easily because my BFF [reminds me of that commercial, "my BFF Jill"] Darci helped me organize it), another is a mixture of all of ours, and the luggage is filled with summer stuff that needs switched out since it's getting into the EIGHTIES (in Fahrenheit, obvs).

3. Cleaning in general.

Honestly, it's getting ridiculous. Luckily my mom is coming over sometime this weekend to watch Quinn so J and I can get down to business (to defeat the Huns) and rearrange the living room. I'm in the middle of going through a bunch of stuff and have two and a half bags of donations. I just need a little more storage room and we'd be good.
