not impossible

I'm amused by one of my things on today's to-do list: "don't make my son's lunch". It's because there's a school special lunch tomorrow instead of him taking a packed lunch. So I've already and always done this but can't really cross it off as really it's later I need to remember _not_ to do it. I'm still sad today but that's fine - sad things have been happening so it's ok to be sad. Not having enough fluids probably isn't helping so I've just made myself a hot chocolate coffee - not something i ever do. I've found two teaspoons in the hot choc jar (no wonder I always run short of teaspoons). I've decided the learning is if you don't do something yourself, you don't know what others are doing. So I'm thinking of trying something ridiculous. To go away on a work conference for two night - MIDWEEK. Most of my colleagues go every year. I've never been. Even thinking of all I'd have to organise has me sighing. Already this week I've paid more on babysitting than I have earned - the costs (and not just financial) of not being here to parent can feel very high. And don't get me started on the dog... But it shouldn't have to feel impossible. I have 2 months to sort it, I'm a woman of great creativity - I can do most things if I put my mind to it.
Right now I'm putting my mind to making today's to do list a bit funner - I've obviously not got the right things on my list as I've done lots this morning but not crossed a single thing off...

New list:
Listen to new album of one of my fave bands.
Remind my friends how much they mean to me
Do all those things that continually need doing but never make the list - washing, dishwashing, pet feeding etc
Sort something for the entire rest of the year that i normally manage only a month at a time (woo, go me!)
Mind hug loads of lovelies
Locate missing spoons
Treat myself

Hope your actual/mental/not even thought out list has lovely things on it too :)
