So much to do... so little time to do it...
Do I tend to the wants or the needs?
WANT - To purge and organize the nest. The other day the boys suddenly decided to clean up their room on their own because they wanted to organize things. I love doing this and being able to do this with them would have been so much fun for me! Unfortunately, I had to leave for work and the next day, they weren't in the mood to play "Clean House". :(
NEED - My kitchen floor needs TLC, only I can't bring myself to do it. I tell my boys often, when you find a woman you love, make sure the kitchen floor you give her is not white.
WANT/NEED ? - I'm running out of time to get all our seedlings started indoors. Soon the calender will dictate we might as well plant directly into the garden. The time crunch is taking the fun out of it. I have to trust the unschooly, go with the flow, garden method. Last year we didn't seed start and we still ended up with fresh veg. There is no need for perfection when it comes to the art of gardening.
NEED - I have to carve stamps, lots of them! Our Letterboxing workshop is coming up and usually by now, I'm much more prepared. Thankfully DH has helped me in the design department, even sketching them in Autocad for me! All I'll have to do is trace and carve.
WANT - To make some ATC's. Actually this could be a NEED. I should have some ready to trade.
NEED - To clean and purge our bedroom of dust and clutter.
WANT - To paint and redecorate our love nest. Unfortunately we can't do this without first checking off the NEED to clean it.
NEED - To menu plan. I hate to admit it, but with our busy lives, we're ending up doing too many sandwich, fend for yourself, suppers. Its just such a challenge to find something everyone will eat that is healthy. Plus we all don't get hungry at the same time. The sleeping teenager is expecting breakfast, when we're ready for lunch.
WANT - To get back to exercising and actually enjoy it. It shouldn't feel like a NEED to do it, but a WANT to do it.
WANT - To study frogs. I find them very interesting these days.
NEED - To learn what I can about business marketing even though its not a passion of mine. This Autodidact needs to learn to push her comfort level past safe boundaries.
WANT - A family business that supports us where we only have to work 3-4 days a week, enabling us to enjoy spending the rest of our week free to explore our interests. It is important to keep dreaming, and someday I will figure out how to make this a reality.

My house always needs to be cleaned.
I find frogs interesting too. We have a frog somewhere close by that keeps croaking. Don't know what type since we haven't seen him yet.
I'd love a home business that would support us. We'd actually like to have a job/business that we could do on the road so we could travel.
Have a great night!
LOL @ the sleeping teenager part! Mine has been ready for breakfast when we're sitting down to supper lately. ; ) Then, too, last night she wanted to clean her room....first time since we moved!....so I was exhausted and helping her go through clothes and things, but it's much nicer now. : )
I can't help you here. A lot of these are on my lists too. Sigh. Who has time?
Your list doesn't seem that uncommon. :o) I say organize and clean as you can. :o)
Regarding the garden, go ahead take an hr or so to plant those little seeds. :o) Enjoy a pretty,sunny, spring day. :o)
Meals.....I can understand folks not being on the same eating schedule. None of us really are, yet we try to eat at the same time. Alex wakes up later than me and when I'm thinking lunch, she's thinking breakfast. lol I would try to crockpot it as much as possible if finding time to cook is an issue.:o)
I think many of us can relate to your wants and needs, I have a list also :]
I love your new background picture, I totally understand the need to clean and purge. DD has boxes of toys upstairs that need to be gone through and most need to disappear. I try to plan supper every night but with so 2 kids with different needs and wants its hard to just cook one thing.
I understand the garden issues, we planted seeds for watermelon & cantalope and they are doing good and should be ready to plant next month but the tomatoes and peppers are first coming up and I am afraid they won't make it out in a garden. I guess we will just have to see how big they get over the next few weeks.
