Laundry day and lists...

I don't know if anyone else is like me...but I kinda of take the weekend off in terms of housework. So, I always have a very messy house on Monday. Also, because I HATE doing laundry I try to do it only once a week. (Which of course means I am doing laundry from dawn to dusk--and it often spills over to Tuesday...sometimes Wednesday) I also often have to run errands on Monday too. It makes for a very busy day. So what is the point of this rambling about the domestic disaster I face every Monday. It brings me to my slight OCD thing I do. I make lists for everything. But especially "TO Do" lists. My planner is always filled. I just take so much satisfaction in crossing things off of the list. I admit that sometimes I add things I have already done so that I can cross them off my list. It just feels so good--you list makers out there know what I mean. I should add, that while I am a list maker, I rarely get through my lists by the end of the day. You see not everything on a list is created equal...clean the house takes five hours to do. However, take the garbage to the curb only takes five minutes. So you can see why when I have lots of time consuming items on my lists, I will quickly write something like, "brush teeth" or "make bed" done! Yes! So yesterday I did get pretty close to everything done--more than 60% and that is a good day--one worth writing about for me! (And I didn't even add "brush teeth!")
