2 week list

I have a brand new itty bitty starting August 15th.  EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!! he was born 5 weeks early, so he's coming oh, about, 5 weeks earlier than I had planned. I had planned to get him in October, after we were comfortable in our new school schedule, instead he's starting the week before school starts. The good part about it is that he's only going to attend full 2 full days, 2 half days & get to spend the 5th w/his daddy, so there really isn't any need to stress. but every change, addition can cause some stress.  So to take my mind off of it, ease some of the stress, ease the transition into having him, I decided to follow several bloggers' ideas of a 2 week master list of what needs done around the house to feel ready.

*clean out pack & plays, fold down, carry outside to air out, hose down wouldn't hurt either
*deep clean nursery
*sort toys in play room
*deep clean play room
*deep clean kitchen/dining/bathroom
*get a couple of extra meal components in the freezer
*sort outside toys, discard all broken pieces I haven't yet
*apply pressure to get compost bin & rain barrel completed
*balance Jan-June income sheets  done
*sort/organize Jan-June monthly paperwork
*hang curtains in playroom window
*finish painting dining room
*sand/paint/mount 'towel rack' for the kids individual hand towels to switch from paper towels
*make an accessable spot for the Fisher Price record player & records so we can use it during the day
*either find a new light bar for fish tank & get it running again, or clean & pack it up
*change light bulb in playroom
* shampoo nursery & playroom carpet
