I love to do lists! I like the way they move the things running around my head into a neat little pile on paper. I like how I can see that I've made progress by just drawing a line through what's been done. I like the way I feel motivated to actually DO the items on my list when I post them up for all the world (or atleast all my 6 readers) to see.
Nathan thinks my lists are a little silly. He always like to add Make a List to the top of my list, and then he marks it off. silly boy. He's been gone all month and gets home tomorrow, so this is the super-clean-up-the-house-so-I-can-pretend-I'm-a-good-wife kind of clean up. Luckily the kids are all home for fall break, so I've got my own clean up crew!
Make a list (for Nathan, since he's not here to write it in)

Happy list-checking-off day!!!
You are a list making, cartwheel turning, Paul Simon singing awesome wife and mom! Yay for the clean up crew and yay for Nathan to be home. Is he leaving again for a deployment or is the deployment that you spoke of?
Oh, and could you please send some of those cinnamon rolls?? They are yummy!!! :D
Hopefully you've gotten some things done today. :o)
Glad to see nap is still there! Gotta have priorities!
Hi Guys - we've done a whole lotta clean up, but I still have more to do. waaa!
Off to read your blogs for 15 minutes...
you are so funny!
and, if you are serious about the family kazoo fest, so cutting edge kool! I just saw a special on kazoos and how they are an underappriciated but ultra cool instrument. Fun!!
If I knew how to do cartwheels, they'd always be on my to-do lists. Yay!
OK, Wendy, after the "no reading blogs. no commenting" comment you made, you know I had to see what time you left a comment at my place (and then I did the math)! :P You make me laugh!
And I love the "Make a list" item. I need to try that.
Wow, what a good idea. I've seen you do the list before but never with the "before I can blog/comment/etc. I have to cross off three things" aspect. I might have to adopt that. :) You're so full of good ideas!!!
Ooo - Butterfly - good thing I didn't cheat!
Thanks Millie!
ann - I love cartwheels. I just did mine so I could cross it off my list!
tx mommy - We are totally serious about the Pacabel Kazoo Concert. Coming soon...
Not bad. I still need to dust, mop, pay bills, and take stuff to goodwill...tomorrow...
You are so dedicated.
No wonder you couldn't make it to the book discussion. You're a good mama.
"Watch A Room With a View"
HAHAHAHAHA!!
Phew!!! You did great!! We missed you yesterday, though you probably would have wanted to cover your eyes for part of the discussion. We wouldn't want to spoil anything for you! ;)
If I did this I would never have a chance to blog or comment. So glad to see that you were able to get most of your list crossed off. :o)
