Ok, so since having a baby... Well realistically since becoming pregnant, my memory has been horrendous! I'll be sitting and thinking about something that needs to be done and by the time I get up to do it I have completely forgotten what it was. Due to this little predicament I have resorted to making lists.
The problem with lists is that if you're like me (barely remembering anything), you have to be pretty specific. So this morning as I'm looking at all my lists I chuckled to myself. I believe I have become my mother...
Right now in the Marshall house hold we have our "big list", the one with everything that needs to be done before and after Joe returns home. On that list I have items such as wash the truck and give the dogs a bath (yes, I do have to remind myself of this). The funny thing is though, on my big list I keep finding that I have instructed myself to make more lists! There is the cleaning list; naming all the things that must be cleaned before homecoming. Then we have the grocery list; keep in mind that I have been feeding only myself for six months so this could pose a problem. Finally we have the meal list; something new I'm going to try for a bit.
Staring at all of this is quite intimidating. So much to do in so little time!!! Having all of these lists I am also finding can be a little exhilarating. Yes I know, it is sad that I get excited about chores, but honestly having these lists means there there is very little time until my handsome husband comes home. :) And it just doesn't get any more exciting than that.
Well I better go get started on all these to-do's! Until next time.
With all out love, always.

Here is just a little peak into our beautiful life here in Hawaii. We are now the extremely proud parents of Madelyn Grace Marshall; our little princess. We can't wait to keep you all up to date on what's going on with the Marshalls!
I LOVE lists!!! Seriously, its a little pathetic the joy I get out of crossing things off(yes I actually cross them out....it's essential) I used to(and am going to get back to) write down whats for dinner each night of the week on my calendar. It was nice because Alex got to request things, I was able to use things up in the freezer and what not, and when I sat down to make my grocery list I was able to make sure I had all I needed for the week. Kind of lovely and stess free I think. :)
ReplyDeleteI've just started writing down meals for the week! It hasn't been working out that great because I ALWAYS make too much food and we get stuck with leftovers for at least two days. But it is very nice that Joe gets to request what he wants. I tried your mom's cabbage burger recipe the other night and it was a hit! And you are so right, crossing things off of the lists is by far the best part :)
