To Do

The more I have to do the less I actually do, why is that? As my to do list gets longer my will power gets shorter. Today I woke up and wrote out a list 15 items long, I accomplished 2 things, not only that but by not keeping up I now have to add 5 things to the list. I have a load in the washer and one in the dryer, an unfolded load on the table, dishes in the dishwasher and sink, toys everywhere and that isn't even the beginning. Sweeping, mopping, windows, vacuuming both floors and pool, thats only part of the cleaning part of my list. Of course as I was in the middle of something Ali comes up to me with a book. How can I blow her off? So I sit and read to her and then she brings me her puzzle and an hour later we are still sitting in the middle of the floor with random things all around, a sippy cup, blocks, books, a pair of brown flipflops, her tricycle, plastic cover for the corners of tables, 2 baby dolls, and my wallet. It's okay just another thing to add to the list; put away items on floor. Yup its added, now lets see how long it takes for it to get checked off. At the rate I'm going it'll be at least a month, I wonder how many times I'll trip on all this stuff before its number comes up? Not worth finding out. I'm headed to put it away now.
