I’m having trouble getting to sleep lately.  You’d think now that school is out, a great deal of stress is (temporarily) gone from my life and it should be easy, right?  Not so much.  I keep thinking about everything I want to get done this summer:

-paint the walls in all/most rooms of our townhouse

-get the carpet cleaned

-organize the garage

-organize our files

-transfer banks (yes, I have lived in New Prague for 5 years and still bank in Rochester…)

-get my hair cut (seriously, I can’t even remember the last time I had this done…)

-get caught up on Abby’s baby book

-print digital pictures and put in albums (or just make digital scrapbook on Shutterfly and order)

-clean out the car/get both cars vacuumed and washed (this will probably have to wait until after Ely next week)

-go to school and finish going through my files/organizing

-take Abby swimming, to the zoo, to the Children’s Museum

-go to at least one Twins game

-take Abby camping for the first time

-work up to running a 5K (doing okay on this one…week 1 of 9 completed)

-give up pop (this one not going so well, especially up in Frazee)

Looking at this list is overwhelming, but it does help to see it and not just think it.  Sigh…  In the meantime, I also want to enjoy the time I’m lucky to have with Abby and try to make summer last as long as possible…
