To Do:

On Sunday's, usually before lunch, I sit down and write down all the things that come to my mind that I have to do in the coming week.  It is free flowing, in no particular order and is a jumbled mess by the time I am done.  I spend only about 5-10 minutes on it and then walk away from it.  I do jot things on it during the day if something pops into my head, but I don't think about it much...until later.  When the kids are in bed and B is upstairs beginning his work week (yes, it starts on Sunday night with emails and catch up work), I revisit the mess that I have jotted down just hours before and try to put it in some semblance of an order.  I start with the MUST'S and move to the Would Like's and end with the You are dreaming if you think this can be accomplished this week's.  It is still before dinner time here so I haven't revised as of yet, but here is the jumbled heap of a To Do list that is my week ahead...I am tired just thinking about putting it in order, much less accomplishing anything on it...

• Buy MadHatter traditional Chilean outfit for Fiesta at school on Tuesday
• Remind B about being at MadHatter's Fiesta at 11 on Tuesday

• Touch up the painting in the kids play room
• Start taping to paint our bedroom
