Nearly Empty Schedule, but Full To-Do List

Moving this up to the top position here......

Since I don't have to work this week and there are no scheduled homeschool group activities, I've got a calendar with not much scheduled. But that's never a problem here! lol

I've created another to-do list. Bear with me! I find I get SO MUCH MORE done whenever I have a list, and even more when I know other people are watching my list.

Since we'll be camping next week, I do have a lot to accomplish. I also have promised a couple of friends to spend time with them this week, since I haven't been able to do much of that over the past year.

Also, I need to get crackin' on the writing.

Make the Camping Week schedule
Plan VBS lesson for Wednesday night (I am subbing.)
Make camping menu
Pack for camping (starting Thursday!)
Grocery shop for camping (Sat)
Attend a soccer coach training (decided to skip it)
Make Dentist appt, preferably for this week (nope, not happening!)
Visit Friend A (Sorry Friend A! Maybe in a couple weeks?)
Visit Friend B (Friday) THANKS FRIEND B! (Or should I say Friend 'M.Y.'?)
See Nim's Island at the theatre (cheap matinee, prob Friday with Friend B)
Return the Twilight books I borrowed
order Angel Food
WRITE THAT QUERY LETTER!!!!! I DID IT! IT IS WRITTEN!
SEND THAT QUERY LETTER!!!! I queried 3 agents today. I will look for more later on this week.
Plan the Cinderella class (that might not happen this week)
Type in the parts of my new novel that I have already written
Pop the new camper and put our stuff in it (starting on Thursday!)
Make sure Bob gets the hitch on the van
Get in a schedule of going to bed earlier and getting up earlier (doing ok with getting up, lol)
ADDING MORE STUFF - I like to add stuff and CROSS it off if I did it and it wasn't on my list originally! lol
Complete Safe Haven Training for soccer (online training)
Figure out where my paycheck went and why I don't have it yet
Make my unemployment claim (Tues 5-6pm, dang! I missed it! Makeup time is Thurs/Fri.)
TEACH the VBS Lesson (Wed night)
Buy some copy paper & envelopes
Figure out how to get music onto my phone without buying the music kit (I ordered a mini USB card reader thingie that should work. When it arrives, I'll try it.)
File the DBA paperwork This was to register my business name.
Dye my hair (bought the dye! That's step 1! lol)
Order business cards
Transfer title for camper and buy a plate for it
Add my query letter/novel info to my business website
Wrote letter for new soccer players and addressed envelopes
Wrote parent information sheet for soccer team
Call work to see if I am still laid off
Buy a new camera

The list just keeps getting longer! lol

My boys want to see Clone Wars which comes out this Friday in theatres. (Yes, it's all new, according to the ads.) Maybe that'll happen on a rainy camping week day, if there is one.
