Stuff you wouldn't normally do day

There is really something special about a leap year. And I am making the most of my leap day. I am going to do a whole mess of stuff I wouldn't normally do. I am dusting off the to do list and only doing things on it that I want to do. Keeping chores to a minimum, unless they are stuff I never do. Like I have already flipped the mattress, not as hard by myself as I thought it was going to be. I am washing all my bedding, including the comforter, I am ashamed to admit how infrequently that gets done. And then I will bust out the sewing. I will fix that big pile of stuff, the kids blankets, Innies scout patches, finish DD's fluffy blanket. I am on a mission to make the most of my extra day. And then when it is all over, I have a hot date, with a younger man, I might add. Innie and I are going to dinner and a movie while the other two go to Friday Night Out, the Super Saturday version for Friday. I will let you know how much I really get done. Tell me what you are doing with your only extra day every four years.

I got this idea from last Wednesday as we had our third snow day and I realized how we had wasted the previous two. Last Wednesday, Innie and I got an almost an entire achievement done in his Bear book (he just needs to report it to the Den now), and did all that was required for him to earn both the swimming belt loop and pin while we went swimming at the Y. I am so pumped! On to the next stuff, let's bust out the sewing machine.

So, now that Danny has come home early to add to the pukies, I might just sneak away to the basement and sew myself a skirt for church.

Good for you! I'm always the one who decides that an extra day is a free day - to be entirely pooped off in fun and lazin' around!
