It's nearing ten o'clock. I think all of the kiddos are asleep. Ryan started a new five week course tonight. I'm sure he'll go back to work to study and get caught up (if that's possible). Whatever shall I do? I don't think I've even 'cracked open' the day's to-do list. (Who am I kidding--I don't even make those any more!) I could fold the mound of clothes behind me or put away the piles I folded several days ago. I could empty the dishwasher and make room for the next wash (patiently waiting all over my counter tops). I could sweep and mop--again. I could start sealing the tile and grout; scrub the dutch oven on the back porch (it's been there for a week now); or do something domestic with our daily harvest. Writing thank you notes would be appreciated as would a letter to our missionaries. I ought to work on my upcoming lesson or tear down the wallpaper in the bathroom and nursery. I still haven't cleaned Ryan's office. The van needs a good wash and the garage is a disaster! I don't know when I last shaved my legs! Ha. It truly isn't possible to get it all done, is it? Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. I seriously need to find a better balance. Perhaps that is something we attempt to do all the days of our lives but never really accomplish. I do have some fun things to post, but I'm falling asleep as I type. I'll keep you in suspense another day--Ha Ha.

Oh I feel like this so often. So much to do. Fun, work, distractions it goes on and on. I am always telling myself I need to get more organized so I can get more done. You are certainly not alone on this one.
Throw that list away (oh wait, you never made one!) and just blog instead. Much more therapeutic and then I feel like I at least accomplished something!
I feel much better about myself when there is no list. Try this, make a list of all the things you DID do. I am coming to Boise next week, I'll call you with details.
I guess I'm a little opposite - I need to write it all down to get it out of my head! I never do get it done... I have Zack's 4 year old picture that was taken LAST OCTOBER, still in my "junk cupboard". Isn't that SAD! It never made it to the frame! Same with Seth's 2 year old picture (taken in January). I just found it today, underneath a pile of stuff. Bad mommy, bad mommy!
Now it's like - why bother? It's time to get the newer ones done!
