Check, check, check

I decided to use my blog of the day to discuss one of my favorite things to do... Check things off of my to-do list.  I honestly have a list for everything... one time I even made a list of lists I needed to make.  Now even I will admit that was pushing it too far, but when you are a wife, mother, business owner, and coach sometimes you have no other options!

Today, I have 5 to-do lists going. 
1. studio stuff:  this list is continuous, there's never been a time since we opened in 2004 that I've had everything crossed off this list... maybe someday??? maybe not...
2. errands: I currently have 6 places I need to go before we leave town Sunday... not sure that's all gonna happen, but I'm gonna give it a valient effort
3. choreography: this list goes away after summer thankfully.  I started with 54 dances on it, I have 35 crossed off... I think I can I think I can
4. packing list: When I leave to go on trips for work it never fails~ I forget something.  And to make matters worse, Sam is going with me on this trip and it's an entire week we're gone... I'm getting nervous just thinking about it.  Maybe I should put an item on the list to recheck the original list to make sure I'm not forgetting anything!
5. Miscellanious list: this one entails everything that doesn't fit on one of those lists above, such as making kids' dentist appointments (that one has been on the list for awhile, I just can't seem to get it done.  I probably could have done it in the time it took me to post this... shoot, missed out on the opportunity to check something off my list! 

There's not a better feeling then putting a big red check mark next to an item you've completed... I live for that moment.  Sometimes, I put things on my list I've already done just so I can check them off... I know, ridiculous! 

Anyway, maybe on list 5 I should add an item: Take a breath  Maybe then I'd do it just so I could cross it off...
