Lists

Good morning world.  Nice weather is coming this weekend.  My first thought about it was to go camping.  But Patrick's first thought was how much work we could get done around here.  Today I will be making a list of what all we can get done this weekend.  However, the next nice weekend, we are camping, maybe.  My second thought about this weekend was the garden and getting it ready for planting.  That will definitely go on the list.

I am a list maker.  When I have let the house go to far or have too much to get done in a day, I make a list.  There is a feeling of accomplishment when a line goes through what ever has been completed.  I make lists for groceries, trips (even camping trips and will still forget something), phone calls to make, things to get done in a day. 

In cleaning things out, I will find an old notebook or journal book and ALWAYS in it I will find a list of "Need to get done today".  What amazes me at times is the list never really changes.  Laundry, dust, sweep and mop floors, vacuum, pick up living room, pick up my bedroom, clear off dining room table, make phone calls (the exact phone calls needed are in a separate list on the paper), and clean off desk.  That is my usual list.  Depending on the time of year, there will be seasonal things to do. 

What is on your list today?  Are you a list maker too?  The things not on my list are clean the bathroom, swish and swipe every morning so it does not make the list; make my bed, done as soon as Patrick gets up.  I am the early riser in my house.  Spend time with Jesus?  He is in my heart. 

Remember being a homemaker is blessing your family.

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,
