Sprittibee's List for the Last Week of 2007 Summer Break

In my crunch to get the last few items handled before school starts next Monday, I made myself a list of things I have to get done. I'm going to try and not blog between now and then because my list is long and I am really spread too thin. Hopefully next week I will be back to business as usual here on Sprittibee's blog and all the moving crunch will be behind us. Surely there will be a little organizing, tweaking, and decorating left to do eventually around here (and let's not mention the garage - shhhh!). However, for the most part... once school starts... life will regain some of its normal feel. I hope!

I'll "see" you next Monday. Watch me check off this list!
