The To Do List
Everybody Has One. Mine has multiple authors.
On a rainy Saturday the ladies tried to go to the park but it started to rain so they ended up at the dollar store.
And on a whim BW picked up a dry-erase to-do list. I think originally it was bought with the intention of going in her office. It didn’t make it.
We started joking that we should use it for my todo list. Whoa - back it up…. my list?
And before I could get word in edgewise - there was a list.
The list was small. While BW and Child are away for close to 3 months there are just two tasks that need done:
clean the windows.
sharpen the kitchen knives
Both are fairly easy. It’s not like have to get a ladder out for the window cleaning and the knife sharpening takes minutes not hours.
We had a good laugh at my expense and moved on. That is, until the child realized there was a new thing in the house. And then just like that - it was hers.
And the list got bigger. There are now sections folks. I think BW gets off pretty easy and the child somehow has NO list of things she needs to do - like clean her room - that’s happening tomorrow, list or no.
The Child also decided that the list for me was too small and so now I have to:
sweep the stairs
clean the sink1
Play with her.
My answer to all my to-do list makers in the house: Number 5? No problem, I’ve got you.
The others? Your mileage may vary. I’m hoping you forget by the time you get back because these jobs will interfere with the one and only thing I plan on doing while you are gone:
Nap on the Couch.
Until Next Time,
TH and Co.
I have no idea where this came from. our sink is clean. promise.
