(I love Pearls Before Swine! http://news.yahoo.com/comics/060915/cx_pearls_umedia/20061509 )
Not often, but sometimes I become so overwhelmed I have to make a to do list. Today is one of those days. Usually it is when I am shopping and I have a lot of places to go. I have to write them down and then do them in order or at the end I won't do it. I hate shopping. I hate getting in and out of the car. So when it is the end of the trip and I am heading home if I have one or two more stops I won't do them. It is then that my list reminds me - you must do it!
Same here at home. When I have the entire day to myself, no one needs me, not even the dogs, then I become overwhelmed with all I want to do and so I end up doing very little. So today - I will make a PUBLIC To Do List and therefore, be somewhat accountable.
- ü Clean Kitchen, wash dishes, soak mop in bleach
- ü Make bed
- Finish Gareth's quilt
- Finish Pam's quilt top
- Check out big camera, see what is wrong with it
- Work in Photoshop, learn new technique
- Add pictures to Dog scrapbook
- Take nap (I got up at 4:30am, already tired and it is 7:06)
- Make plans with girls to go toy shopping for Children's hospital
- Write memorium for Rae to put in paper next Thursday
- Back up PC
OK, now I have my Christmas/Birthday list
- Finish Elke's placemats & coasters
- Finish Sabine's wall hanging
- Finish Pam's quilt
- Start on Bradley's quilt
- Finish choosing pictures & start on Oma & Opa's tablerunner
- Decide what to make for Beatte & Marita & Toni
See it all doesn't look so bad when you write it down. Here are some pictures of my progress on Pamela's quilt:
