In other news, my niece Ellie (2) and nephew Ben (4) are coming for the weekend so their mom and dad can go on retreat. I'm thrilled to spend the weekend with them, especially since I don't see them all that often. However, I also have to remember to keep my expectations low for getting anything productive done. I'm giving up the idea of taking apart the dishwasher- it simply won't happen. But I'm hoping to reorganize the family room closet and my sewing area- in fact, since the play kitchen and all the play food is in the famly room, there's a decent chance the kids will play while I work right there... so maybe I can get that done... maybe. I had originally hoped to finish the garden clean up and rake leaves, but if it's going to be as cold and yucky out as predicted, that may not happen either.

My real goal for the weekend: Spend quality time with Ben & Ellie, feed them, change them, clean up a lot of toys, get them to actually sleep, etc.

My lofty goals: do my laundry, clean and organize family room closet, wash the kitchen floor.

You forgot the 'Ignore lofty goals' goal...so that way it's win-win. (Or lose-lose, depending...)
