Question of the Day: April 2nd

[Karly]

Welcome April! :bliss:

So what are your plans and goals this month?

[Jayne]

I don't know that I have many goals. I hope to get Alyssa and Tylor's room switched and painted. We are half way into transisting Alyssa's room into Tylor's. We have primer up and I need to go get the paint. THen on to Tylor's room becoming Alyssa's.

I hope to get my house in some order again as moving the rooms around has furniture all over the place :lol:

This month we hope to get through Easter and find out my friend is pg if all goes well also!

[Becca]

Not much really...a quiet Easter dinner, just the four of us, for starters. Then nothing until the 25th when B's youngest brother comes out to visit us, so that means a trip into Ottawa (:bliss: Cosco, TCP, Old Navy...) and maybe even a trip down to Toronto. We havn't been to TO (except for flight layovers) in almost 2yrs since we lived in Borden so it'll be nice to pop down and visit some frineds, but we'll see what happens. I've also been given my "orders" to start using some of the gc for the spa that I got for Valentine's Day this year. Poor B, he gets me such a nice gift for some time away from the house/kids/him and he has to practically force me to use it. I must be :silly:

Oh! I TOTALLY forgot about the garage sale the neighbors and I are having!! :giggle: I still need to get everything organized and priced...although I think I'll be the only one ready on time. And I'm going to pick out paint for the boys room/our room/spare room/living room/hallway cuz B wants to paint the house while the boys and I are away. Good QOTD...now at least I have a list of these things SOMEWHERE!! :biggrin:

[schwanda]

Buy a house. Sell a house. Nothing big! :lol:

Seriously:
1. Close on our HELOC (scheduled for Thurs)
2. Sign a contract for the new house (hopefully next week)
3. Put our house on the market and hopefully sell it soon!
4. Go to the training course in Denver next week (sorry Dennis, I'm only there for 36 hours)
5. Finish my abstracts for the AAP conference
6. Finish my case report for the SFU
7. Oh yeah. Decide on a job and sign a contract.

Wow. I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
