It's President's Day, which means the kids are home. I actually thought ahead, like a month ago, and set up childcare for Tiny Boy for the morning, to get major writing tasks done. Needless to say, babysitter cancelled on me late yesterday.
I reduced my to do list to the following:
1. 30 minutes on major writing task (while Tiny Boy watched My little Pony).
2. Start NEA grant application (hahaha!)
3. Email triage
4. Deep clean cat box
5. Make banana muffins w/Tiny Boy
6. Change sheets
7. Take Tiny Boy to children's museum
It's nice to be able to cross everything off a list. And it's only 3:26. So maybe I could even get some reading done while he plays. (LG was with a friend for the early part of the day and is now doing schoolwork.)
I completely agree that it feels good to cross every item on a to-do list! :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a reasonably productive day despite the sitter's cancellation.
Reasonably, yes! Certainly not ideal...but better to do the minimum peaceably than be resentful I didn't get to do more...
