The List...

So I have a list of things to do each week. Its rather long and the philosophy is simple-I cross things off as they get done and add to it as the day goes on. Its nothing flashy...just a small notepad with a handwritten header I wrote in black sharpie "TO DO LIST". My husband has tried to get me to use a planner or a palm pilot or my cell phone, but I like the prehistoric handwritten list. It works for me, and I feel a small sense of accomplishment when I cross something off.
So to add to my list today I can write car repair and in paratheses or in quotations 'kid inflicted'.
We were getting ready to go to T-Ball and the twins were suppose to get in the Yukon and buckle up. They are 5 and can climb in and buckle themselves in their booster seats. I forgot water and ran back in the house to grab some bottles and when I came back two monkeys had invaded my children! All 4 doors and the tailgate were wide open. They thought it would be fun to have someone push the button that opens the tailgate so the other could go for a ride as it opens. Well, this was enough to break the mechanism and so add car repair to the list -

  1. (this is a joke) Children should be raised in separate barrels. Each barrel would have three holes: oxygen at the top, food in the side, waste disposal in the bottom. New barrels would be used as a child grows. When the child reaches, oh, maybe 30, you let them out of the barrel, ready to join the rest of the world and fellow barrel kids.
