Completion date

My completion date has come and gone.  I finished exactly one half of my tasks.  I will be doing this again.  I just need to make good on my donations before I start another round.  I know that I will be donating to Postcrossing and Beginning Experience, but am not sure if I will donate to anywhere else or split the money between the two places.  I was thinking of donating to Children's Hospital in Minneapolis in memory of Sarah. 
    
 Talking of Sarah, I am a Grandma again!!!  To a beautiful little girl named Evelyn Sarah Marie Swanson, they will be calling her Evie.  She was born June 11 at 8:37 pm weighing 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long.
Look at all that hair!  She was named after Michelle's grandma and my Sarah.  I am so blessed that she and Mom are healthy as there lots of problems with the pregnancy. 

Other big news in my life is that I am quitting Daycare and have accepted a job as a personal assistant to a Holistic Practitioner who is also a life coach.  I have been busy cleaning, fixing, painting my house to put it on the market.  So not only am I leaving a job I have done for 24 years I am also moving out of my house that I have lived in for  28 years.  And you were wondering why I wasn't writing on my blog  :)

Now my blog is going to be about my new adventures after daycare.  Maybe I should title it "Is there life after Daycare?"  I will miss the kids, I think they keep me young.  I won't miss the dirty diapers and the puking.  Wish me luck on my new job!



# 99 Call or visit Mom and Dad at least once a month

My parents are getting older and I feel like I should be there for them like they have been there for me.  I have always tried to stay in touch, I just wanted to stay in touch more often.  They have recently gotten internet and now are on facebook, so staying in touch will be even easier.

#46 Hang out Laundry at least once a month, even in the winter.

I got a little obsessive about this task.  It became my own personal challenge to not use my dryer.  I even rigged up lines in the laundry room for hanging clothes in the winter.  I will continue on my quest to not use the dryer.
