The Listmaker's Daughter

I am a compulsive list maker.  It has been a particularly listy time in my life since school started.  My kids know if it doesn't get on the list it ain't gonna happen.  Sometimes when they need me to do something for them they will look at the list for the day and suggest a swap. "Mom, If I sweep the kitchen will you come proofread my paper?"  It is a pretty smart plan.  Sometimes out of boredom they will randomly do jobs so that they can cross stuff off.

Hazel has started making lists.  I think we are in trouble.  Notice that the list of jobs for wednesday involves a pinata and invitations.

My favorite is that one task is to check what tie it is, and she crossed it off.
