Checklist for Life

I've had a particularly busy weekend, that will continue to be busy and in fact, get busier. Apparently, the world decided that this weekend was the time to pile everything on Megan. Sure a lot of the load has piled on due to my total lack of preparedness. Everytime I realize I'm procrastinating, I think...' tomorrow I will stop procrastinating.' Pretty bizarre logic right? I find myself making these lists on scraps of paper that I find at home or at work, or at preschool. The problem is, I never remember where I put them, so I end up having to start yet ANOTHER list. It doesn't help that I am absent minded, and frequently misplace things...like my wallet that I just realized was missing today...It doesn't help that ON TOP of everything I have going on I also have personal issues I'm dealing with, not to mention other people's issues that I've been made aware of. When I know someone is struggling I want to help...and that's my problem! I can't be selfish and just think about myself, NO, I have to help everyone else first.

So here is my to do list for today. I post it on the internet, where I know it will be. Because let's face it, I'm going to loose my written one anyway.

  • Go to Lee's to get Bread Bowls for the Linger Longer
  • Go to Macey's for Soup and Salad.
  • Get the keys to the Ward Building from Jordan
  • Go to the ward to find out how many plates/forks/cups/spoons etc. I have to get.
  • Call the Relief Society President to see if she can make some treats for Sunday.
  • Make 2 dozen cookies.
  • Pay my Questar Bill, that will be late if I wait any longer.
  • Find my wallet. (Hopefully it's at the movie theatre I went to last night)
  • Find 3 or 4 more crock pots for Sunday.
  • Find SOMETHING to put on the tables so that they don't get all gross.
  • Hollow out 100 bread bowls
  • Taste test the soup to make sure it's actually edible.
  • Make a cooler full of lemonade
  • Get ICE
  • Write my missionary friend, and the friend in the Military.
  • Practice the song I'm singing in Sacrament Meeting on Sunday.
  • Pretend like this soreness taking over my throat is all in my head.
  • 3 papers, 1 quiz and 2 sets of chapter notes...ick.

Maybe I'll sleep and eat at some point. But that stuff's overrated right?
