August 11, 2010 at 9:20 pmI felt the same way on Monday and I “forced” myself to do something and it worked. Ok, I did the basic but ran a whole bunch of errands. Some how when I don’t feel like moving at home I do feel like running around outside of home! LOL!
You are doing excellent in crossing out so many on that list already!
YOU CAN DO IT AMY!!

August 11, 2010 at 6:41 pmAnother way to have accountability is twittering about it! Good luck with your list! Whatever you get done will fantastic!

August 11, 2010 at 6:06 pm@ jeana- I keep finding myself doing things and adding it to the list just for the fun of crossing it off-like spot clean the couches!
@ marie-so far so good on teaching instead of reacting. It does help that my youngest is at gma’s today…:) Have a great time swimming, I think we will do that tomorrow.
Marie @ Chocolate-Covered Chaos
August 11, 2010 at 5:36 pmWow! I love “teach instead of react to children”! This is something I pray about and really need to work on. Great idea to put in on your list.
Hope you’re having a productive day! I’m taking the kiddos swimming, because I know I’ll be really busy tomorrow.

August 11, 2010 at 4:15 pm@ jeana-I was starting to regret posting it–i’m only 1/3 of the way done–but thanks to your comment I’m gonna keep at it!
@ AlliLilly-no, not an everyday list. Things piled up which is why I needed accountability! Although, I was thinking as I worked, if everyone wrote down everything they did in a day, it would end up being a pretty long list. Try it, you might be amazed at how much you do without giving yourself credit for it or knowing it..
@Pam-lol. you can write mean comments b/c I asked for it by going public. Read my comment to AllyLilly, I have a feeling you do more than you think.
Thanks for your comments and encouragement everyone.
Off I go, oh how I’d rather sit here and read/write..
Pam @ diy Design Fanatic
August 11, 2010 at 4:09 pmDang, that is a long list for one day! How can we write mean comments if most of us are lucky to get half that stuff done in a day?

August 11, 2010 at 3:39 pmPlease please please tell me this is not an “everyday” to do list!! I have been a bit blog neglectful the past two days because I had to clean our 2 bedroom APT, and do laundry for the THREE of us! If you can pull all that off and keep your blog this awesome! I’m just gonna pack up my bags and leave bloggville! hahahaha!
