Always be Prepared!

I think this is going to be my new motto!  Who is it from… Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts???  I don’t know, but I think it’s one of them.  I am going to adopt this motto and apply it to my life.  I am going to go ahead and prepare for anything that I can so I don’t fall behind or get a curve ball thrown that I can’t handle.

 

Coming up first we have Halloween… girls already have their costumes and we have candy to pass out.  Done!

 

Next, we have hubs’ birthday… completely not prepared and don’t know what to get him.  I will have to figure this out quick as I have less than two weeks to get it done.  I don’t know what to get him as a present and I know we’re going to out to dinner with his family that night, but think I might take him out the night before.  I won a gift certificate from work for dinner at a nice restaurant for $50 and I have the certificate for the free chocolate dipped fruit from Edible Arrangements… maybe dinner for us and the fruit with some wine.  Anyone have gift ideas, let me know!

 

Then, oldest’s birthday and she wants a sleep over… need to get out invitations and plan all that.  Maybe this weekend??

 

You also have Christmas coming up which is huge, so will need to get started on buying presents.  Maybe I can convince the hubs that we should start shopping this weekend to get some of it out of the way.  I have been taking out money each week for our Christmas fund so we have the money to do it.  Then, I can go ahead and have some presents to put under the tree once we get that up on Thanksgiving!  That would be nice.  Also need to get all stuff down from attic so we can make sure we have all we need.  Last year we did a real tree… I didn’t remember to water it all the time, so maybe not a good idea this year.

 

School… already on the wagon getting that stuff ready.  Have a placement test this weekend.  Financial aid doesn’t have an update for me yet so don’t know if I have to pay for it or not.  That would be nice to know.  Registration is next week so need to figure out what classes I’m going to take too. 

 

Looks to me like I have a nice to do list shaping up for everything.
