I
really needed a good list last month because I had a lot to get accomplished.
There were only two things on the list I didn't get done. One of them I'll get done this month for sure
and that will be to make salsa. The
other one will probably take a crazed moment of motivation.
As I
got each thing done I marked it off the list by highlighting it:
1.

door

In
addition to the things on this list there were other things too, like getting
the girls outfitted for Halloween, flushing the holding tank on our RV (eeew!),
fixing a small leak where the awning attaches to the RV (new bolts, silicone and
a friend with a ladder required), hunting up some supplemental income sources
and of course the daily grind.

nice job!! :-) a "to do" list with lines crossed through completed jobs for moms, is like a shirt full of gold stars for a youngin', huh? that's a GREAT feeling!
ReplyDeletemy son has a 3 hour ortho appointment today......i think i'll spend some of that time making up a "before the end of the year" list of things that need done. i was wondering what i was going to do before i read your post, so thanks for the inspiration! :-)
You know it! Hope your list making went well. I need to come up with another one I think. Take care!
