Un ‘to-do’ List. Josette talked about this idea on her blog today. We all want to accomplish so much in our days. I tend to over-estimate the amount that can get done in a day and usually a week. I suppose I think about what could get done if I were left to my own devices without interruptions. You see, the desire is for a spic ‘n span clean house because if it’s clean, it’s peaceful and calm. Well, that’s my delusion. Of course, the theory hasn’t been tested because we moved in before the house was completed (ie. it was a dusty mess with a few projects left) and then proceeded to add another family member and we built in the middle of a DIRT field. The cleaning never ends!
Anyway, I need this reminder badly … like hit me over the head and let me know there are accomplishments during the day even if NOTHING was crossed off my real To-Do List.
So, a few to add to my Un ‘to-do’ List:
1. Raisin Scones – tried a new recipe.
2. Graham is working on a Lapbook project – our first ever – he and I are both having fun.
3. The kids all like Tae Kwon Do and they arrived on time at each lesson. Last minute addition to our week, but looks like a winner!
4. Chicken salad on croissants on Thursday night (yes, the two chickens were roasted that day and made into chicken salad – it wasn’t on my to-do list).
5. Picked up groceries on Thursday night.
6. Ordered size 6 diapers for night-time. Just a little tired of night-time leaks and my baby is no longer a baby!
7. Washed the king size bed clothes TWICE this week.
8. A free history Lapbook project for Angelina arrived. So in the process of getting supplies ready for the project, the ‘paper’ shelf was organized.
9. The toy/room guest room was cleared of toys in preparation for Grandma Golden Acres’ arrival.
10. Organized the pantry.
I guess it’s been a good week. Happy to end on the Feast of The Annunciation of the Lord!

Seems like you "un to-do" list was very productive! So glad the kids like taekwondo!
