I’ve got the day off today, woohooo! I have a million and one things I’d like to get done today, so I’m taking a page from Jenny’s SAHM manual and making a to-do list. I thought I’d share it with all of you so you can laugh at my optimism… I plan to update it from time to time today so you can see how many things I actually get done.

To set the parameters, it’s 7:59 right now, and I have to be out the door (all dressed up) by 2:15.

Here we go.

— Mop kitchen floor
— Take Kate for her flu shot
— Call plumber about dishwasher (he should remember how to get to our house as he was JUST HERE fixing the hot water heater. But I digress.)
— Change sheets on all the beds
— Wash said sheets
— Do 3-4 loads of other various laundry
— Clean up dining room area
— Clean bathrooms
— Put dinner in the crockpot
— Vacuum living room and bedrooms
— Organize pantry
— Clean out freezer
— Shower and get dressed in real clothes
— Pick up Andy from school at 2:30 and then
— Renew driver’s license
— Vote (Ohio has early voting!)
— Drop kids off at my dad’s
— Attend funeral visitation

Thus far today I have:
— Cuddled with the kiddos and watched Phineas and Ferb
— Written this blog post.
— Wiped Kate’s butt.

Ok that’s all I can think of for the time being. What’s that I hear? Laughing? No, Jenny, you may not collect bets on how many things I will actually accomplish.

Check back to see the progress I’m not making throughout the day!

I did draw the winners of this contest on Saturday, but I forgot to POST them. Oopsie! What can I say, I have MOMNESIA! The winners are Dana and Stacie MC. Ladies, I am emailing ya so check those inboxes! Thanks to all who entered and Kroger.com for the great giveaway!

I am thrilled to report that Cribgate ’08 (thanks Lori!) has been resolved.

I just received a call from the regional vice president of Babies R Us. He had read my post last night and was very apologetic about the experience we had, and he is going to fix it.

He’s arranged for me to bring back the old crib tomorrow and exchange it for a new (and safe) one. I am so glad. Sammy will be glad, too, when he no longer has to sleep in a pack ‘n play!

The whole problem was that I was given misinformation the first (and second) time around. The recall issue can be fixed with additional hardware, so if you have one of these cribs, you can go here and have the part sent to you. No crib disassembling required!

So a big thanks to Babies R Us for rectifying the situation I faced, and a big thanks to all of our readers for your support.
