To Do Linky

I am back from 10 days of amazing family vacation. We started in Atlanta and headed to Disney for a week. Maybe someday I will get a chance to share those pictures, but right now, I have to get things together for school, because sadly we officially go back July 29. Which means I go back the week of July 22. If you forgot, I am no longer in the trailer, so my entire life of teaching stuff is in my garage. I have to move it all in and completely set up a new room. And probably clean it. So right now, the panic is setting in on just how MUCH I have to do. Thank goodness Lorraine started her To Do list linky early. Last year this was one of the best things I did on my blog because it kept me accountable (even if every time I crossed something off, I added 3 more). I love to do lists and this is perfect. So here we go..

 

Since I have SO MUCH to do, I am splitting it into categories...
