MIL Arriving Monday

Friday...the countdown begins. I changed the ortho apointments because my daughter informed me that she "couldn't possibly go mom...swim finals were tomorrow...duh!". That went over like a lead balloon to me but since I feel like a used up piece of chewing gum...I caved and changed the apts. Now I only have tthese thing to do before Monday: 1) clean whole entire shithole(a place I sometimes call my home) 2) wash 87 loads of laundry (not including the stuff under the kids' beds) 3) get birthday present for son (July 22) AND that is impossible where I live because we have no retail stores here! 4) think of wholesome meals I can create and serve (NOT sunflower seeds and gatorade like usual supper fare) 5) stock cupboards and fridge with ingredients of above 6) OMG...CLEAN fridge...damn 7) get Alec a haircut...even tho he wants to "dye it yellow except for two long strands that will hang in front of my eyes - those need to be dyed red!" 8) Get a dress for me (not burlap sack comfy kind either) 9) Lose 30 pounds 10) Shave knees (at least) 11) Maintain a positive attitude and be perky ( I just threw that in...screw it)
