Lists

Often times I get caught up with life that I forget to stop and smell the roses and live my life.
I like lists, especially when I get home from work:

Pick up Elly....check
Go to the gym....check
Take Sarah out for a walk....check
Make dinner....check
Shower....check
PJs....check
Teeth brushed....check
Movie/Read a book....check

Every now and then a sweet little voice will say, "Momma come play with me! Come play doll house with me Momma."

But, but it's not on my list!
Kaci shut it and go play doll house!
I can't, I can't I have to make dinner, I have to give her a bath, I have to have to have to...
She won't be this young forever, she won't want her Mom to play with her.
but, but, but ~sigh~

Lists can wait.

Come to Nana Dovey and I'll play with you, El (you too, Kaci). Papa and Nana have lists, B U T ......... it never ends, S O ....... it just goes on and on and on and ........

Yup lists can wait and so can just about every other thing I've been neglecting lately just so I can squeeze every last ounce of one on one time with my buddy TOF before his brother comes along.

lists can wait, you're right!

My lists have been waiting A LOT this summer. When it's sunny outside, and kids want to be playing in the kiddy pool, lists HAVE to wait! (and the mommy has been enjoying it immensely! LOL)

I'm guilty of doing the same thing. Been trying to set those lists aside a little more often.
