to do-to-ta done!

I am a big list maker. Grocery lists sure, but things that need to be done, prioritized from most important to least important, modified daily, trashed and restarted, lists of goals and plans, dreams and fantasies...I like putting thing in an orderly fashion and subsequently crossing them off as they've gotten done.

Being pregnant has given me a new outlook on my lists. I made a list for Friday which got pushed to Saturday which in turn got nudged to Sunday...and well Sunday...still nothing was done. A few things but very few things on my list--just basic what must be done in daily play sorts of things. I was just so tired. I had no energy. I would get this or that done and then wham, my eyes would weigh 100 lbs and I just couldn't keep them open. Then today--bam, I was overwhelmed with energy. I didn't even look at my lists...

So in the name of to-do lists (which I still accomplished very little on from my weekend list) I am making my ta-done list, of all the things I did today which I need to give myself some credit for...

  • do seven loads of laundry (including our bed sheets) and put all laundry away
