Summer "to do" list

Now that things are settling down around here- only one more big event, the kids' birthday party- I have been thinking about things I want to get done this summer. Lately it seems like I am just running around the house all day doing bits and pieces of various "projects" and not really accomplishing a whole lot. I love making lists and schedules and find that it really does help me, for motivation if anything. I never complete everything on my lists- I make one for everyday tasks and activities in my calendar book- but it helps me break things up and not get too overwhelmed.

Here's some of the things that are on my mind and I really want to do. I broke it down into household, school, kids and family, and personal. I will probably add things as I go. I will also cross it off when I get it done (love that part!).

Household:

• put rest of kids' summer clothes and leftover garage sale items on Craigslist or Ebay
• clean up basement
• make meal planner- planning sheet for three meals and three snacks a day
  

School:

• make file folders for next year's first month of topics
• finish daily schedule (although I am sure this will change after a few weeks of school, it's good to have an initial plan)
• finish planning for first month of school
  

Kids and Family:

• go to the zoo
• go to the wave pool/water park
• visit family/playdates with friends
  
• vacation to Florida
  

Personal:

• Figure out a schedule for meal planning, housework and exercising
• Read 3 books from reading list
