October Calendar - Filling Up Fast

My wife has signed a new contract for her consulting business and also started booking fall photo shoots for her photog business. When she shared this, I was very happy for her until I recognized the look on her face.

1) There are still have a ton of small and big projects that need to get done before Thanksgiving

2) We have a new baby in the family in Michigan that we need to travel to see. When can we schedule that?

3) We still have a fair amount of furniture to buy, before Thanksgiving. How are we going to squeeze that into the calendar and the budget?

4) There is a bunch of Fall yard work to be done to ensure our yard/lawn looks good in the Spring. This is weekend work - what Oct weekend can we dedicate to that?

5) She (we) hasn't had a vacation in about 5 years - is my husband planning something? If so, when?

6) Has she sent her cousin his bonus wedding photo book?

7) Should I change the color scheme in mom & days guest suite and bath?

8) Have we booked lodging for a Feb conference we're attending?

9) Have we made arrangements for someone to take care of the dog while we're at conference

10) Should we bring the dog with us to Michigan to visit the new baby?

11) We have a local (Chicago area) new baby, when are we going to be asked to come visit him and will I be asked to hold a new born photo session?

12) My passport (hers) needs to be renewed - where is my old one since we just moved

13) We had to reschedule our new driver's license appointments. Will my husband book soon (since I just got my hair done) or will we have to wait for later?

14) I know my husband asked me to keep the TN car title handy, where is it because I know we'll need it to register the car.

Again - I think the best thing I can do, the most helpful thing - is to take those obvious items off of her plate and HANDLE THEM, but also ask her what would be most valuable and do those - communicating back that they are done.
