The to do list

If your a Mom, or even a women. You know about the never ending to do list! The one that plays over and over in your head at bed time, "Did I do this? Did I do that?"
If your organized your list maybe written out on paper, in a fancy day planner, in an app on your phone. Well this Mom isn't that organized. I mean don't get me wrong, I have a fancy Dollar rack day planner from Target, I have the fun organizer on my phone from Cozi. But my never ending to do list, well thats in my head. I know your all thinking, thats why its never ending.
So I do actually write down my to do list, but normally its after I have said yes too much, added more to my plate that I can handle and I am very overwhelmed. I am that Mom who doesn't like to say no. I want the kids to be able to do and go, but No is something I am working on. With multiple kids in school now and tons of activies comong up, unless they figure out cloning in 2016. Mommy can only be in 1 place at 1 time, and that means someone is being told no. But that also means others needs and wants are being put on hold.
One thing I learned about having children, that never ending to do list will pile up, somethings will become more important than others, things will get shuffled around, but it can always wait. Kids grow up, they grow up too fast. And I don't want to miss a moment of it.
