I was sitting here trying to do the budget for the next month or two, figuring in the extras like the new vehicle registrations coming up, the birthday presents, and other things I know will pop up. Then it occurred to me that I ought to really just update the master annual list.. yes, I have one. So I pulled that out.. yes, I have a MASTER LIST for holidays and gifts and things. I am one of those. I have boxes and organization going that I try my best to stick with for all these events. I keep spares on hand for those "whoops mom, I forgot to tell you bbuuuutttt....'.
Thing is, I got to really thinking about some of it- about how I have been married for a lot of years, about how dh and I don't fight, about how I justify some things ( like placing myself second to care for my family, when reasonably I know that a better mom means better for everyone so hold the lecture there , John-boy. ), and a great many other bit and bobs to my life. Really, if I could keep on top of a spotless house, I might have a better shot for Stepford Wife.. sort of.
