Thanks and an update to my to-do list

First of all, I want to thank everyone for the kind words on my last post about my surgery date. I am freaking out, but I know that in the long run this is best for the well being of my life. I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers more than any of you know! 

Speaking of surgery, the other day I made a to-do list of things I wanted to get done before my surgery date. So let's see how I am doing on my list and what I still need to work on: 

• Take the kids to get a new outfit and tennis shoes for school
• Clean/straighten up our bedroom
• All trash out to curb
• Straighten boys' room
• Go to library to get books for recovery time
• Clean out the corner of the living room where I will be spending much of my time recovering
• sweep living room, including under tv stand
• dust living room
• doctor appointment
• mark school supplies
• menu plan for this week and next week
• write and schedule book review blog posts
• pack bag for hospital
• mop kitchen, dining room and bathroom floors
• pay ALL bills for the rest of the month
• Invoice and mail bills for 2 tutoring clients that still owe
• text Dad to see if he can take Rebecca next Sunday to a show
• Fill out paperwork for school
• School open houses for kids
• Kids back to school
• Chore chart for kids for back to school 

So I am not doing too bad on my list. Really the 2 biggest things I want to get done that are still remaining is the dusting and sweeping of living room (since that is where I will be spending the majority of my time when I am home) and having my hubby mopping the floors. I haven't had a lot of energy this week, and my bleeding started again in earnest so I have been resting a lot! 

Today I haven't felt too bad. I did have a panic attack last night when I thought about next week, but I know that is normal. I took the kids to school today and then made a run to Kroger to get milk, yogurt and junk food to get through this weekend and for hubby for next week. Then I came home and laid down to rest. I find that I can be on my feet for a little bit and then if I sit and/or lay to rest then it is better for my body. 

I am hoping to get the rest of the cleaning done this weekend as I think I will be too busy stressing on Monday-- LOL. Actually I have a pre-op appointment at the hospital Monday and I am taking Monday to just try to relax. 

Well, I need to go feed the kiddos (it's pizza and movie night!)...Hope everyone has a lovely Friday night!
