Sometimes to help me go to sleep I write down a list of what all I have to do the next day. It helps clear my mind and fool me into thinking I don't really have to think about it anymore, or at least not until the next day. Well here is a list of things on my mind right now. Not that any of you care to know this much about me but, here it is anyway.
What am I going to do to help The Unique one learn her letters? she cannot identify them by sight but she can if you give her the sound. It is so weird, we
worked on it for a long time today and made no progress.
Why can The Kind one tell you details about every toy he owns and any movie he
sees but cannot tie his shoes, read over a kindergarten level, or do
1st grade math? And how am I going to help him learn all those things
without going crazy?
What am I going to do to help The Thinker get through bible drill?
She knows 14 out of 25 verses,and only 3 of the references to those verses,
half of the key passages and cannot find any book in the bible that is
not Genesis or Psalms. We worked for an hour today and she began to
hate bible drill. I want her to do well but I don't want to drive her nuts
about it.
Does Golden boy know how much I love him? How lucky I feel to have him?
Do any of the people in my life know that?????
How am I ever going to get it all done?
Spring clean all the rooms in my house, paint all the rooms except one in my
house, help The Thinker with her horse show things and do our family 10
hours of service at the stables,get all my work stuff done like vbs,camps, summer wed nights, or how do I pay for camp, save for WDW vacation, take care of my dads ever increasing health and emotional issues, finish catching up on kids scrapbooks, get the volunteer stuff finished at school get through a real ballet recital, take out the trash, iron all the clothes etc..............
Well you get the point!!!!!!!!!!!
My head feels so full!!!! And that is not even half of the list. Okay I
will remind myself that God is in control, repeat my mothers mantra "one
day at a time" and put a smile on my face and one foot in front of the
other. And if anyone has any other suggestions I will take them.
You know what? I do feel better that is so strange???????????????

I am a list maker too. Add to your list a crop on the 31st. Not only will you catch up on your scrapbooks, we will have a therapy session doing it!!
i am also a list maker and to be honest i hate that about myself. well, not all the time. sometimes lists are good, but most of the time i end up getting overwhelmed at what i have to do...so, i know how you feel. hang in there...some how it will get done! and, i am sure everyone knows how much you love them...if you did not love them you would not be making lists like that :-)
I love you. You know what I said.
i used to make lots of lists but then it got to where i needed a list of the lists i needed to pay attention to. now i can not remember where i put any of those lists! and that's ok with me, cause i don't really want to remember what's on them!!!! in my humble, but mostly accurate, opinion i think that we should not ever let a list rule our lives....maybe we should decide they are just good suggestions for any extra time we have??!!
