  I'm a list person. I need lists. It's a sad fact, but an altogether unavoidable one. To-do lists, grocery lists, expense lists, income lists...you name it.
I cannot live without a pen and paper. Without my lists, I'm lost. I try to keep a running to-do list to keep track of the 'major' things that keep this family running. For the past month or so, item numero uno on that list has been to get the oldest of our bunch registered for kindergarten for the fall. What saddens me, though, is that there's no check next to this item. No check!!! It's not been done yet, and it's already July!!! Oh.my.god...there are no checks anywhere! Life has just come to a temporary halt. Time to re-evaluate the list...Yep, the absence of checks is just. I try so hard to be organized. With a family of 5, you've got to be organized to know what goes on in this place. I know that. I've always known it. Yet, as I type, I stare at the seemingly endless stacks of paper on this desk.
It never stops. No wonder I need lists! I know I'm pretty hard on myself, but this has to stop; the to-do list doesn't stop, so my lack of motivation has to-for sanity's sake. It's a sad state of affairs when you have to rely on lists to live your life. Now, back to the lists...
