Busy Day. Long List.

Have you got a long list of stuff to do today??

Here's my to-do list:

Make bed

Straighten up house

Wash major amounts of clothes (and dry, and fold, and put away)

Pick up kids' contacts and glasses

Serve breakfast and lunch, make dinner

Balance check-book

Teach school (Read aloud History, grade Math, etc.)

Plan meal ministry for tomorrow night and pick up necessary items

Put remaining Christmas decorations in the attic

Drop off and pick up one son at work

AWANA tonight

How much do you have to do today?

Mamas can only do so much so I say take it one thing at a time.  

• Make up your bed and get dressed for the day.  (Preaching to myself here.)
• Start with the most important thing on your list.  When that is done put a big check-mark on it and proceed to the next thing on the list.
• Reward your hard work with a treat when you have accomplished several things.
• Play some background music and smile.

What's your best piece of advice for a busy day and long list??
