To-do list

This weekend while I was making my to-do list and crossing things off I realized something. I realized how much I do not like making a list of things to do because once you do them a week later you have to do them again. Just like making you bed. I'll admit something to you all. I never make my bed in the morning. I've tried before and I'll admit when I do I feel better about the way my room looks but why do it? You just mess it up again that night. Laundry...same thing! As soon as you have ALL the dirty clothes washed and folded you go to bed that night and you already have a pile of clothes to be washed again. Dishes....again...same thing. You get all your dishes washed and put away and you have more dishes to be washed by an hour later. URGH! OH this one REALLY drives me crazy. Sweeping and mopping the floor!!! Our entry way and hall into the living room and the kitchen are all tile. I will sweep and mop and not EVEN 30 minutes later there are shoe prints all over the floor! Drives me insane!!! It makes me not want to clean it at all. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

    I my goodness... you have NO idea! This SO irritates me. Just when you have all the "chores" done it's time to start them all over again. Once you have kids it just gets worse. However, I've committed myself to making my bed everyday. I LOVE when it's made, and now that we have new bedding it looks fabulous when it's made. Don't let the chores drive you crazy though. They will always be there. But life it too short to worry about them!!! :)

    The weekly chores don't drive me as nuts as the daily chores...like making your bed, getting ready for the day, making a meal, doing dishes, ironing my clothes for the next day, etc. I do laundry once a week...and I clean the house once a week...so those things don't seem as bad. Maybe y'all should do a "no shoes" policy for your home. :)

    I was not a good example for my children! Boo!! I think all of you do a great job considering. I agree, it feels/looks so much better when these things are done. Actually, Dad has helped me practice making the bed. I must have driven my mother insane...she was Little Miss Housekeeper.
    Remember, practice makes perfect. You will feel more organized for the day.
    Go, girl!
    Love you mucho...Mom
