List Mis-Uses

I am a list person. Let's just get that out of the way up front. I make list everyday; work, home, you name it. If I didn't, I would never get anything done. It's the only way I can stay organized. My family has gotten to know this and are now starting to mis-use the lists I keep. For Christmas I had two lists going. One for what we were going to eat and what times they needed to go into the oven. I had another list for what I needed to do, such as set the table or peel the potatoes. Sometime after lunch Christmas day, Jim's mom noticed that "someone" had added that I should hug my husband. Yeah, like I had time for that. So I did it and then added "Give wife a back rub" to the list, and funny, that never happened. Big Surprise. Over the weekend I was talking to Lauren and said that I had so much to do and her response was to make a list. That's my girl!!!! So we got out my list paper and started writing all the stuff that needed to get done. The next part of the list is to assign letters next to each item for the person that should be responsible for the item. That way everyone knows what they need to do and everyone see that everyone is pitching in. A couple of hours later I notice that Arion and Lauren have been adding things to the list that really don't belong there and assigning it to one another. GREAT. Like this is going to help me get through another list. Did I mention how happy I will be when everyone gets back to school.
