I Voted (for my favorite clown)!

Happy Election Day, friends. I'm putting in my full 7.5, but I voted for this guy last night.
I have lots of things on my mind and I want to share them.
1. Christmas - I'm thinking that in the next two weeks, a little cleaning and organizing must take place. I have lots of kids clothes that may find a new home, as well as some toys and dvds. Gotta get the gift giving on a roll this year and I have a head start with a secret project that may bring in some extra dough.
2. Pottery - I've been beating my head against my wheel, however I've been doing it with some satisfaction. I can't get these hands to do what they know how to do. It will happen. Making pots is a little like my life.
3. Sewing - I want to learn how to sew...clothes.  Like real honest to gosh clothes.
4. Budgeting - I think I may actually have a plan. An actual plan with numbers and discipline and cooperation on all parts.
5. Chores - We started a chore list, a little reorganization of the responsibilities in the house. I let go of dishes for a whole three days last week and it only took me three days to catch up! But, I didn't have to do any of the laundry and that was simply fantastic. My 5 year old is working for an allowance by learning her responsibilities and I'm very proud of her. She's gracious and happy (so far) to do what she needs to do and she's learning thankfulness in the process. I understand my role in teaching her and praising her and I hope to make the most of the next few weeks. 
6. Grace. Gratitude. Guidance. I'm working on it. I must say, it might be showing.
