We underestimate the time it will take to get any or all of the items done, plus we never list the myriad of "things" we do each and every day that take time away from our listed items.<br /><br />I do believe the state of our world and country is a stress on us even when we're not consciously thinking of it. These are not good times we're living in and we are constantly being impacted in ways we've never experienced before. It's worrisome.

Or does one simply get distracted doing so many other 'important' things that are just not written down on The List?! Even on a down day, my guess is that you have more energy and get-up-and-go than the most of us! <br /><br />I do have to say, I've been having a few of those down days recently too. Can't figure if it's the state of the world/country, lack of eating & exercising as I should, or not keeping up with ALL the things I so want to do. So let us know what works for you and that may just help the rest of us too. :) Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-37058103153307662452013-05-02T11:19:47.451-05:002013-05-02T11:19:47.451-05:00Stephanie - Not exercising for a week?!

It feels so good to make the list in the morning but so defeating to look at it in the evening when so much isn't crossed off.<br /><br />No, I didn't have a second choice picked out on the fabric. Had a hard enough time finding one that looked good with the first chair and the couch. Lucky for me, she had just gotten in some new pattern books in for my perusal.<br /><br />Having to build and fill a bed before you can plant the strawberry plants is almost too much. Oh, well. Get out there and do it.

Tools and equipment for eleven jobs spread out all over and nothing finished.<br /><br />Done with your refrigerator yet? How much "dirt" did you shovel out?<br /><br />How did you know it was me under that pot?Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-79793993880359047522013-05-01T15:11:38.233-05:002013-05-01T15:11:38.233-05:00We've been brainstorming ways to eliminate law...We've been brainstorming ways to eliminate lawn that needs to be mowed.

That we actually have some iota of control. Ha. And I do agree that there are days when you are just completely out of sorts. And it's okay. Boy, that must be frustrating, having gone through all that angst trying to pick out fabric, only to have to do it all over! Did you have a second favorite? All my "Get Ready for the Goat Homecoming" items are checked off my list! Then the 75 strawberry plants that I had forgotten I had ordered in February (cruel, cruel month) arrived yesterday. Added "build new strawberry bed, fill, plant" to my list.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-2198673773585342552013-05-01T14:41:40.636-05:002013-05-01T14:41:40.636-05:00Now why would you need to put a bag over your head...Now why would you need to put a bag over your head since there is already a large pot there.

And my husband said a lot of the guys at work were pissy and cussing and mad...musta been the moon. lol<br /><br /> Today I made an early morning trip in search of sweet potato starts--no luck. Picked up a few things, more pepper plants, jalapenos too. Stopped by a thrift store I like but don't get to often. Came home, checked chickens, watered some seedlings and started mowing.<br /><br /> That was 4 hours ago. I am still mowing. The grass was so high (lots of rain here, and no way to get out and mow) that it is really a job. I'm in here now, because when I put more gas in, it decided not to start. sigh....so I came in, took off my shoes and am gonna rest a bit and do some things in here and then go try it again. I've only got another few hours to try to at least finish the front yard...then the boys will be home and I need to get supper.<br /><br /> I didn't make a list today--don't tell anyone !!
