OK, now that I have 30 +/- a few days before Kaelie's referral, I have been thinking about everything that needs to get done before referral and travel. Here's a sampling of what needs doing:
1. Spring/Fall Cleaning ~ every room needs to be freshened up! Ugh! I hate housework! Especially the deep-cleaning stuff!
2. EBay Stuff ~ Photograph and list, have a huge sale!
3. Finish my closet ~ build one more shelf, paint
4. Finish attic ladder ~ add decorative trim, paint
5. Purchase car seat, stroller, high chair, baby monitor, area rug for nursery
6. Christmas ~ have all decorations up before Thanksgiving
7. Design referral announcements
8. Get carpet steam cleaned
9. Pack ~ I've got to get with my mom about what she might be able to carry in her suitcase
10. Christmas shopping ~ wrapping, etc. Need to be finished by Thanksgiving
11. Baby-proof house
12. Wash all baby clothes and put away
13. Lesson plans ~ Start preparing lessons for my students while I am on maternity leave (last two weeks of December, all of January, through mid-February (so I will have a couple of weeks prepared for when I come back).
Hummmm.....I know I could add a dozen more things to this list!!! OK, but I won't right now. Maybe when I get these done! I guess I could do all the housework chores this month, then focus on Christmas and travel after we get our referral.
OK, I'm exhausted now!

What a huge list!! I hope you can get them all done! We had trouble just packing for the trip and doing the final post-referral paperwork.
Try to enjoy this time; you'll be in another world in 30 days!

That's a big list, but it can be done. :-)
Ahhhhhhh!! I need to make a list! I won't be caught out like I almost was last referral date. Thanks, KK and good luck with your list.
