And the Christmas Countdown Continues

in Getting Organized

For anyone who may not have seen this meme before, To-Do Tuesday was started by Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting for the purpose of attacking our to-do lists each week, blogging about our lists and what we’ve got going on, and sharing it with each other to help keep each other accountable.

Well, it’s week two of my Christmas countdown. One thing I really like about dividing up the tasks by week is that I don’t have to stress about the things that are on next week’s list. I’ve got enough to deal with just for the week I’m in!

I didn’t get everything done last week but progress was made nonetheless. The bulk of the Christmas cards are sent, and the rest are awaiting Bob’s note and signature. We made a trip to Virginia to see Bob’s parents and I cooked for them while Bob helped his mom with her Christmas cards. It was an exhausting weekend but a good one.

December 6-12

Mail rest of Christmas cards/letters/CDs as Bob finishes writing/signing them. Note: Next year, I am doing an email newsletter and just making cards for a few people!

Select and order photos that need to be printed for various people.

Make handmade items.

Finish any shopping that is left.

Go to craft show and make homemade treats with L on Saturday and then teach in the Friendship Station.

Attend Autism Society Christmas party on Sunday.

December 13-19

Mail boxes to my family.

Send gifts in to school for Michael’s team.

Bake items to take into work and give to neighbors/friends.

Make whatever I am taking to family celebration.

Wrap gifts for Bob’s family.

Celebrate with Bob’s family on Saturday/Sunday.

December 20-26

Finish any shopping/wrapping for our gifts.

Write letter from Santa.

Plan menu for holiday/vacation week and do grocery shopping.

Organize some sort of party or other entertaining of friends for after Christmas.

I just realized we haven’t set a date for Christmas Candylane, so I still need to fit that in somewhere. What’s on your to do list for this week?

  • I don't want to even think about whether I'm going to get my cards finished in time. Still wasn't able to get (read: remember to get)all of the children together for a picture. I hope I can get it done at the beginning of next week once my daughter gets home from college. Good luck getting everything done. Maybe you should add rest/nap to your list. :)

    i am impressed most of your cards are done, i haven't even taken the pic of my boys yet!! ugh, that always ends up with 9yr old crying and 16yr with an attitude.

    good luck and happy tuesday!!
