Danger Danger!

Over at Ree's site today she's talking To-Do lists. And since I'm a chronic list-maker, I thought I'd join in the fun. Besides, I like the feeling of accomplishment I get when I actually get to cross things off. Makes me feel like I'm making some progress in life.

So here's what's on the agenda for this week:

• Clean out the fridge
• Clean the bathrooms
• Go to the gym at least twice
• Meet Brooke for coffee
• Send out email to friends/family about participating in the Susan G Komen 3-day walk in September
• Make dentist appts for son and myself
• Register son for swimming lessons
• Work on baby quilts for my cousin (she’s pregnant with quadrulets)
• Come up with some dinner ideas for hubby so he and the kiddos can have something to eat while I’m at work Mon & Tues nights.
• Oh, and watch tennis. The Australian Open is on!

How many of these things will actually get done, you ask? Hmmm, probably at least half and maybe even all of them. I think it's realistic. Of course, you throw in all the normal daily stuff not listed (like bathing, eating, sleeping, wrangling kids, shopping, cooking) and you know that the whole list could end up completely ignored if the "daily stuff" develops a kink. Something like a sick kid, or a kid who wakes up earlier than normal and remains cranky, a mommy who doesn't sleep well, a snow storm, or an exceptionally riveting tennis match that prevents mommy from leaving the house, much less the couch. All of these things pose a very real threat to my ability to accomplish the things on my To-do list this week.

Yep, it's a dangerous life I lead.
