Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Things about Danielle It's been a while since I have posted a T13. Here are thirteen reasons why I haven't been able to! 1.I would rather spend time with my son when I get home from work. 2. I have to feed him, wash him, and play with him. 3. While working. 4. And trying to keep the house straightened. 5. And feeding the dogs. 6. And taking out the garbage. 7. And checking the mail so that I can take care of the bills. 8. And packing my clothes so that I can workout after school. 9. And packing whatever my baby might need the next day at day care. 10. And trying to make dinners so that my husband and I have something to eat. 11. And getting a shower. 12. And trying to spend some time with my husband. 13. And finally trying to get in a little reading before I go to bed! The first two on this list are the most important. However, the other things need to get done as well!!! You might not see a T13 for a while but, "I WILL BE BACK."

Thursday Thirteen Eighth Edition

Thirteen Things about Danielle We are adjusting well to the whole daycare thing! Our little guy went from crying and looking at me like mommy please don't leave to okay you can leave now in one day. He seems to really enjoy being around the other kids, which I am grateful for! I however, wake up much much much earlier for work these days. I used to hit the snooze button a million times but I no longer have that option. I have been trying to get up by 5:15a.m. in order to get dressed, change and feed my boy, and maybe even have a cup of coffee before walking out the door by 6:30a.m.. So far so good, but in order to continue having happy smooth mornings there are many things I need to prepare ahead of time. Here are thirteen things I need to do this weekend in preparation for the work week. 1. Restock our boys diaper bag with extra clothes and bibs (he goes through a million bibs, thank god I almost got a million from my showers)! 2. Packet my workout bag for Monday. 3. Iron my clothes for the week. About two years ago I started reading and ironing... that's when I new I was all grown up!!! 4. Go to the grocery store to buy lunch meat, fruits, and veggies for my lunches. 5. Reorganize car. Not only has having a baby taken up my house, all of his things have taken up most of the space in my car as well. And NO!!! I will not get a mini van, let me repeat that one I WILL NOT GET A MINI VAN!!! 6. Go through the traveling diaper bag to make sure I have everything I need for the baby in case we make a stop on the way home from work. 7. Do the laundry so that we all have fresh clean clothes (I hate this job the most)! 8. Vacuum my house (obviously this one has nothing to do with getting ready for the week but after working all week Christie's son could come sit on my floor and he would feel like he is at a buffet... you can take a look here to see what I am talking about). 9. Clean bathrooms. 10. Clean bathroom and kitchen floor. 11. Vacuum pool (well over due). 12. Box up the baby clothes that last a whole month. 13. And last but most importantly, spend the weekend enjoying my son because the work week will be here before we know it and back off to daycare he goes.

Thursday Thirteen 7th Edition (Better late than never!!)

Thirteen Things about Danielle Having added a new addition to our family, it seems like the little storage space we had in our home is even smaller and tighter. So, I have decided that I want to have a garage sale. I just have to get motivated enough to actually go through our house room by room and collect the items I would like to sell. I am one of those people that hates clutter but yet my husband calls me a pack rat?? And maybe I am but I sure do know how to hide all of my stuff and that's the problem.... I ran out of hiding spaces/places. IT'S TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE (can you believe I actually went on the Internet to apply for that show?? Sadly, they are only based in the California area. Isn't that discrimination or something?)Here are thirteen items I have for my garage sale list!!! 1. Old coats. I have had some of these coats since high school. I think it is time to part with them! 2. Old shoes. Playing college basketball we got a lot of freebies... I probably have at least two pair of brand new high tops that I have never worn. They have to sell right? 3. Old knife set. We have two knife sets (and they are both old, we definitely need to get ride of one of them). 4. Vases. I know what your thinking... A woman can never have to many vases but when they take up a hole cabinet in the kitchen that can be used for baby items they have to go. 5. Old dish sets. I don't know if we really need to get rid of these but they are just sitting in a box in the basement, so bye bye old dish set. 6. Rollerblades. Okay these aren't in the best shape and I haven't use them in quit some time but a girl can try to sell them for something, even if its two dollars. 7. Tea towels. I am in desperate need of new towels. 8. Books. I never enjoyed reading but then all of a sudden around 28ish I started to read. Then I started buying books and now they just sit in a closet because I do not have a bookshelf or the room for a bookshelf to put them on. They must go! I need to start going to the library!!! 9. Carpet pieces. I couldn't tell you how many huge carpet pieces we have shoved in a closet,and laying across the garage beams and barn beams. We haven't used them and I don't think we are ever going to use them. What kid going to college wouldn't want a large piece of carpet to put in their dorm room? 10. Utensils. I need new utensils so bad... its not that mine are in poor condition its just that none of them match.. I hate that! 11. Duffel bags. Oh my holey duffel bags. I have so many duffel bags I don't know what to do with them. Its not like we are going to be traveling to far off places (I wish) any time soon. At least half of them are going in the sale! 12. Comforter sets. I have a thing about buying new comforters for my bed. I guess you can say I like to change the look up on the old bedroom now and again. I have plenty to spare and they are in good condition. And that means I get to buy new ones. YAY!!! 13. Shot glasses. I have way to many shoot glasses. Yes, I used to use them but these days they just take up a hole cabinet in the kitchen. I think it is safe to say that my husband and I won't be having to many crazy parties anymore with the new bambino in the house. Bye Bye Old Times!!!

Thursday Thirteen 5th Edition

Thirteen Things about Danielle Thirteen things I am thankful for! 1. My family because I love them will all my heart. 2. My health because without good health I wouldn't be able to do the things that I am able and/or capable of doing. 3. My career because it is rewarding. 4. My home because it puts a roof over my head. 5. My friends because without friends I might not be sane. 6. My pool because on days like today there's no other place I'd rather be!!! 7. Being able to stay home with my son during the summer months. 8. My athletic ability. 9. My ability to forgive and forget because if I couldn't do that I would probably be a mean and spiteful person. And that I am not! 10. Food! I am sure we are all thankful for that. 11. My clothes even though I still don't fit into half of them. 12. The experiences that I have had throughout my life. Some have been good and I am sure we all have had our share of bad. 13. Being me!!!
