To celebrate 9/9/09, she listed 9 things she did today, 9 things she'll do this month, and 9 things she hopes she'll do by the end of 2009. So here goes.
9 Things I Did Today:
- Bought 40 boxes of cereal for approximately $25.
- Got one of Cledi's care providers hooked on using coupons.
- Hit a wall by 10:27 a.m.
- Stole enough time for a 14 minute nap with Gene until Cledi's bus arrived.
- Pulled out fall/winter clothes from the garage for each kid.
- Washed fall/winter clothes for each kid.
- Vacuumed the curry powder out of my bedroom carpet (thanks, Eleni!)
- Had a phone interview for the State Waiver Program for Cledi (it doesn't look promising).
- Made each of my children smile (and cry, but I'm not focusing on that...).
- Find a place in my house for 40 boxes of cereal.
- Run my first half marathon ever.
- Hire and train a fourth care provider.
- Make the rounds to at least 8 doctor appointments.
- Be grateful for insurance.
- Do a trial day of eyeglasses on Cledi so I can officially tell her ophthalmologist that there's no way.
- Fill out more applications for the State Waiver Program for Cledi.
- Get my two girls all decked-out for a Daddy/Daughter dance.
- Enjoy Nash's first crawl.
- Have survived 6 months of residency.
- Find my cookbooks in the mass of unpacked boxes. And my jewelry. And Cledi's iPod.
- Buy a piano.
- Develop relationships with inspiring individuals.
- Bring the number of children in diapers from 3 down to 2.
- Get involved in setting up a preschool co-op for Eleni.
- Get our family through the H1N1 season intact.
- Find a way to manage all of the household affairs so that when Gene is home, we can just enjoy him.
- Survive. I think it may require an extra dose of my attention.

You bought 40 boxes, wow! I bought 30 and I thought I was crazy. We had a little couponing 101 at our playgroup, I'm trying to get people hooked :)
Yeah...more people who love coupons as much as I do! I am addicted to saving money! Who knew it could be so much fun right?!?!? I loved your list...thanks for sharing!
haha I'm glad everyone is addicted to coupons. I definitely am :) And glad everyone jumped in on the half-marathon train too.
YOU ARE AWESOME!!
when we go visit I will have to buy your cereal, here costs as much as $8 per box. I am making real breakfast now.
You can cross off the relationship with inspiring people, you've known me for long enough ;-)

This sounds like a good idea just for organization's sake. I love your goals. We definitely share the "H1N1" goal. I am impressed Cledi has an iPod!
