What project is hanging over your head?

I did a major purge in the basement about a few months ago so I have a bunch of boxes to haul out to donate.  I also have about 30 boxes of old files from DH's business that had finally met the 7 yr requirement.  I need to call a shredding co when we get back from FL but they will all have to be moved up to the garage first and those things are heavy!  

I need to finish painting our basement. I got the majority done in November but then needed to focus on Christmas so I have a few walls left to do yet.

The entire upstairs of our house has been cleaned thoroughly in the last few weeks. Even all the Christmas gifts have been put away. But now the basement needs to be dealt with. The kids playroom/craft room - the cabinets need to be sorted through and cleaned out so we can put the new stuff away. And then my office/workout room is a disaster. It's kind of the catch all and it's caught it all alright. The place is a wreck. I don't want to even go down there. LOL But hopefully in the next week I will.

Undecorating for Christmas. Ornaments are off the tree, but the majority are Hallmark ornaments and they each have their own box - PITA. Right now it looks like a cyclone hit, but everything WILL be put away today. And we live in a small space, so I have to wait until the rest of the place wakes up, before I start making more noise other than typing on a keyboard, and clicking the mouse.

More painting and organizing as well. We need some shelves built as well as this house just doesn't have enough storage. I hope to put a big dent in these projects before DH goes back to work.

spare bedroom/craft room's closet....UGH

Two rooms to paint, we did the hall and the living room and guest bath, before I got really sick and the holidays. We have the sample wall that's painted the gray shade that we like so it looks funny. I just need to organize the room before I finish

Most of the things hanging over my head have to do with school.

1) I have a lot of grading I need to do. The end of the semester is Jan 9 and I gave tests in 3 classes right before Christmas break.
2) I need to make sure my final exams are in order. My new principal would really like for us to use Google forms to give our multiple choice exams. I need to decide if I can do this for the first time with a final exam.
3) I had to move my classroom and lab(from a different building) a week before the break. I am still not settled into either room and I am having bad dreams because of it. I need to see if I can get into my room next week to get things a little more organized.

Off to start grading some papers. I gave myself one week to relax, so I guess it is time to get back to work.

Mine is all scrapbook related, so it isn't a do or die; I do have five books to start or finish by May 16th. I have lists of layouts that need to be made by then. So far I am behind!

1. Clean/purge the garage and laundry room (laundry room is the size of most bedrooms so it can accumulate a LOT of stuff). I have really shirked any real cleaning/purging duties the past year and now it's beyond time to do it. The GF moving in has given me the push I needed (though I was hoping to have it done before she got here, oh well). I'm about 1/3 through both so far. I can't get my living room back until I get more of the garage done, so I better get crackin'!
2. Read a final draft of a book a coworker's wife has written and redline/comment on gaps in storyline and continuity (and grammar, which can be a royal PITA if characters are speaking in other languages or dialects or if the character is intended to use weird grammar - drove me nuts proofing late DH's stories for his RPG). He gave me the thumbdrive Monday and I hope to have it done and back to him by NYE.
3. Clean out my closet. I got the hanging stuff done earlier in the week but the shelves and the bottom need gone through. I have come to the realization that I'm a t-shirtaholic - 3 baskets of folded tees and one of them is nothing but various black ones! I need to sort them out by type (plain, Woot, work-related, other) as well and then either pack and store some or donate them.

And you need to post new Canon pictures *hint *hint  . If you have posted, I missed them.

I do have a couple from Christmas I've been meaning to post haven't gotten around to it!   I'll do that now!

My plan is to go room by room reorganizing, purging, and redecorating (or adding to the decor). I started in my room and it's almost finished. I still need to buy a few baskets for my closets, buy more hangers, restain my mom's mirror, and paint my mom's nightstand. I'm debating about hanging art on the wall. I think maybe resting the mirror up against the wall will be enough for me. I'm going to see how much it would be to get my bathroom tiled, shower and walls. It's not that large. I would also like a granite countertop.

I also reorganized our coat closet and one hallway linen closet. Next will be my 13yo and 7yo's bathroom. They wanted their favorite colors in there so I'm going with light grey, white, hot pink, and aqua blue. I bought rugs and had a sign made for their wall. I'm planning on making a shower curtain that looks like a rag quilt, and painting wooden borders for their mirrors in a chevron print. I also need to spray paint their light fixtures or buy new. New towel bar holders too. Paint the walls light grey. Possibly paint their vanity. I'm leary about that, but the dark stain won't really match their decor. We'll see.

My daughters are happy with their rooms, so all that needs to be done is some purging and hanging a few items on their walls.

I want to repaint a wall in my living room, same color, and make it a gallery wall. I have 9 frames so far to hang. Buy two new couches. Put the old ones in the garage sale.

I want to paint my dining room a lighter color. I would love to have bench seating built in there and buy a regular height table and chairs set. We'll see.

My kitchen cabinets need to be reorganized, some purging too. I want to buy storage containers for my pantry and reorganize it too. My wall space in the kitchen is minimal, so I'm thinking about tiling all of the wall space. No more painting! I would love it.

After the kitchen I want to work on the hallway/office closet. I have a shelf that I use as a desk, but that's it. I want to take advantage of the vertical space by adding shelves. I want to put my filing cabinet under the desk, and paint.

Basement after that. Purging, organizing, finishing projects. Several rooms down there. I'm not going to list all of them. After we're done going through the basement we'll clear out the garage.

The plan is to be finished with our purging and have a garage sale in the spring. What doesn't sell will be donated. Then I want to have my garage drywalled. Add shelves and organizers.

Hopefully this summer we'll start our outdoor projects. Repaint the trim, repaint the shed, power wash the house, remove dead shrubs, plant new shrubs, ect.

There is A LOT to be done!
