THE WORD "PLAN"

I found that I only like the word "PLAN" when I actually follow through with the plans.  Haha!
I do believe it means - to change.  After all, when you are done doing something, things have changed!

I am still checking FaceBook, my 3 forums, and email everyday after school.  You would think life changing things are posted that are directed to me, but find they are not.  I really NEED to work on this area a bit more.

I did go through, clean out papers, and set up file folders for 2 of the 3 kids - so that's a start!
The file cabinets will be moved upstairs in June.  I decided to wait until Katie goes back to her base the end of May and put them in her bedroom.  Why should I have to keep trekking to the downstairs bedroom to utilize them when  I     LIVE     HERE.

I did bypass a great sale at the local library because of these 2 stacks of books that I am going through.  The next sale is in 3 months, I can wait for that.

Next week will be busy.  Have a wonderful 'auction' at my Guild on Tuesday evening where you take what you don't want anymore and put it on a sale table.  A paper bag gets put in front of everything and people put in a ticket with their name on it.  If their name gets called, they get the item.  You get a yards worth of tickets for $5.00.  The money goes towards the Guilds functions.  I have a few things to take - always one of our favorite meetings.

I also have to get Katie's room ready for her visit home.  I think she is coming on the 16th for 2 weeks.  I like to have the carpet vacuumed and her bed made so it's all ready for her.  I always felt at home when my Mom did that for me.

Thinking of doing a yard sale on the 16th (the day Katie's come home) but there's a few if's with that.  I don't want to do it by myself and my sister isn't sure she can come by with her stuff.  It would be at my Dad's - more cars would come by in his neighborhood but that means a sleepover at his house - which is always fun but exhausting with working the same day of the sleepover.  Hmmmmm.  It would probably be an easier decision if I had things ready for it, but I don't.  Maybe I will just work on getting things ready for one and plan for one in September at a flea market and hope for terrific weather.

I am so glad there are not more than 24 hours in a day.  I think God gave us just so many because there has to be a limit to how much we can do and how long we can keep going before we rest.

Ooooh!  I finally was able to pull up a debt calculator and figured out that I will have 2 major bills paid off approximately 6 months before I retire from the school.  That's another thing - I am aiming for December 2020 for my retirement.  I need a short-timers calendar!  I haven't used one of those since I was active duty and I crossed every single day off when I was overseas.  I don't know if they make them anymore, I should check into that.  I could cross off 30 days every time I made a payment, haha!

Quilting tomorrow at the church with a friend of mine.  We get together once a month and sew the day away.  I have a binding to do on one small quilt and a baby quilt to quilt and bind.  I should be busy.  I won't have to look at the dishes, housework, or washing.  Just sew.

Until later -
