It seems like even when I'm on top of things there is always a huge list of things needing getting done or projects circulating in my head. At times it feels like not every person can feel this way all the time and then Nick comes home and rattles off all the things he should have gotten accomplished and projects he wants to do both at work and home and then I think either two odd birds found each other or this is a common occurance.
Let's see right now I have todays chores of changing the sheets, doing laundry for a family of 5, and making sure all that laundry actually gets put away and not left in baskets in the laundry room. Then of course there is all the Christmas stuff of cards, decorates, presents, menus, cookies, and getting ready for our holiday photo. We also can't forget the long list dealing with Zora's birthday, my parents visit for Christmas, going through the basement full of boxes, getting back on top of the housework, doing the ledger, finish with my reading on herbal remedies, thinking about my bug repellent experiment this summer, considering whether to homeschool the children or try the german emmersion school, and I'm sure there is stuff missing from this list.
I used to find comfort in writing down my lists of things to do. Then i would cross things off as I got them accomplished and feel great when there was nothing left on the list. Now it seems the lists only make things more overwhelming. It seems the lists just never end. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy with all the lists in my head and a new project ideas start to circulate in my head. Though today I have decided to not carry over to do items. Just because it didn't get crossed off yesterday Does Not mean it goes on todays list. Today is today and I'm going to try to worry less about what I didn't do yesterday.
